      (Sorry, comment got a little long D=)
      They are ports, not remasters, even using the hybrid emulation approach Skyward Sword HD and Mario Galaxy did.
      Nintendo is actually really consistent about it in the Switch era:
      Metroid Prime Remastered is a proper remaster, as the name says.
      In the Direct they called Pikmin 1 + 2 "HD versions", meaning it's a port in HD (with a few HUD element updates Arlo mentioned).
      Skyward Sword HD is the same thing, though they did use some form of upscaling for all the textures according to Tantalus themselves, but they weren't remade, and Skyward Sword HD is running at 60fps which is awesome and especially great for the motion controls, unlike Pikmin 1 + 2 where it's sadly capped at 30fps.
      Something that is weird is that Twilight Princess HD and WindWaker HD are actually remasters, but Nintendo opted to call them " HD" respectively.

      @@Kniffel101 It's a port AND a remaster.
      Although if these are using the hybrid emulation approach they're only ports in name, not nature. That back-end technical stuff doesn't really matter though as what matters is the discernible front-end stuff. The front-end appears to be a remaster, and a remaster it is.
      Companies have misused all the different terms over the years and haven't stayed consistent. This has lead to mass confusion within the industry now. I always compare to film terms for my definitions.
      Of course ports don't exist in film, but a remaster is always just an upscale from the source (and it's critically the same in the audio industry too with music remastering), it's never a new product
      By that common definition these are remasters, as they're running at a higher resolution than source (480p Wii in this case) but with little to no recreation of assets
      I would agree that something like Skyward Sword HD still fits this criteria too as does Twilight HD, but Metroid Prime Remastered & Wind Waker HD go far beyond that scope and are for all intents and purposes extremely faithful remakes - i.e. Ocarina 3D/StarFox 64 3D etc.
      What many in the modern industry call remakes today (let's say Resident Evil 2 Remake) are basically new games based on the same premise as the original, but generally ditch the skeleton framework in favour of creative liberty (whether that's level design, changing fundamental mechanics, altering characterisation... anything like this)
      So I refer to them as reimaginings - no one uses this term because the companies don't for their marketing (you used to see things like "re-telling" for stories & tales back in the day, and its a similar thing), but that doesn't make it inaccurate or inappropriate

  • @Glockenspheal
    @Glockenspheal ปีที่แล้ว +116

    I feel the games are as glitchy as the original, but the fact we can now easily record and share these instances has just made them seem that much more common.
    As for the ports themselves, I kinda wanted a Metroid Prime Remaster treatment for these, basically Pikmin 1 and 2 made in 3's engine, but I guess that would've changed the core experience a lot. They are amazing, my only nitpick is that there should be an option to toggle Swarming by default and Swarming with L, I still sometimes forget how to swarm.

    So happy to get to play these finally. I started with pikmin 3 on the wiiu after hearing arlo gush about the series way back. Finishing up pikmin 1 only have the last main area to collect ship parts from. Only "glitch" ive encountered is that blues seem to struggle at getting things out of the water. Took forever to get the floatation thing out from under the blue onion, guess it was clipping on the waters edge. So excited for pikmin 2, ive found 1 to be a little stressful with the 30 day limit. I like taking my time and in 3 i never felt like i was running out of juice except for that one day....(im going to blow louie up in 2 at least one time for every juice he snatched), so i think 2 will better fit my needs to take time even if it loves being pikmin 2 from time to time.

    I remember seeing screenshots of Pikmin 1 and having absolutely no idea what it was back in the day however Pikmin 3 was reminding me of Metroid prime with the way you have to explore the world and run around and get power ups aka the different colors. So if only I'd have known.

    I remember way back when, when we got the demo for Pikmin 3 remastered but the full version wasn’t out yet. That’s how I found out we were even getting a remastered version for 3, so I immediately downloaded it and began to enjoy it. Now, I had a copy of 3 for the Wii U, but I’d never played it, and I had never played either of the other 2 myself. But I had experienced them through other means (namely one Chuggaaconroy), and I still enjoyed what little the demo offered. My now fiancé happened to be watching nearby, and was curious as to what it was. After I showed him the yellow Pikmin you see with Charlie, he loved them so much that he downloaded the demo *immediately* and played through it with me.
    He got the full version as soon as I told him it was out, and he was so happy (I couldn’t afford it at the time, and it actually convinced me to crack open my original copy and play through it instead). He loved the whole thing. He was just as hyped as I was about the official Pikmin 4 announcement, and even managed to surpass my own hype when he learned of the 1 & 2 port.
    All this to say that Pikmin is a beautiful series and that sparks wonder in those that discover its bounty, and there’s no better way to experience that in its rawest form than the first 2 games.

    I can confirm Arlo's statement on the replayability of the first game. I'm on my fourth playthrough now, and it still has me captivated. I emulated it at first because the price compared to length had me concerned, and I still ended up buying it because it really is that deep.

    The gap between Pikmin 3 and 4 is larger than the gap between 2 and 3... crazy how we perceive time. When Pikmin 3 came out it felt like the return of a long dormant franchise from my childhood. Pikmin 3 feels like it came out last year.

    I have seen a retroactive addition of a 1 to a title: when John Wick was first made it was just an indie one-off essentially, and then it got extremely popular and became franchise so they eventually made the name John Wick Chapter 1 on the DVDs released past a certain point to match the naming convention of the sequels.

  • @TP3200
    @TP3200 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Never seen a company retroactively put the "1."
    Kind of true. The 1+2 package has become popular, with Tony Hawk 1+2, and amusingly, Find Mii 1&2. However, you are right that the 1 isnt usually there other than the 1+2 titling. Maybe they did it here to make it more clear if you want to buy them separately

    However I can't say I've experienced any of the issues you mentioned with the gyro controls. Going from 2 to 3 felt seamless. There was an update for 3 so maybe they've tweaked it? But I'm having a blast with the series and my love of Pikmin is blooming again! :D

    I'm just glad I got to try the first game. I put down 3 Deluxe shortly after because I was a little overwhelmed by learning the mechanics, juggling three characters and working under the gun of a timer. Being able to go back to the basics with only one character and three Pikmin types has made sailing much smoother.

    Fun Fact: In Japan, Nintendo retroactively put the 1 on the first Zelda game cover when they re-released it after Zelda 2.
    Here, they clearly did it for consistency since now they all have the colored flower; 3 Deluxe even got an updated logo for that same reason.

    I think a few of the glitches are holdovers from the wii version. That one had some issues with the game just not registering actions sometimes so occasionally a swarm would just fail to damage an enemy for a couple seconds or a bulborb just eats 60 pikmin in one bite.

I do recall hearing the Wii version of Pikmin 1 was extremely glitchy as well (compared to the original), so to see there are still weird glitches on the Switch versions is unfortunate.
    I would have loved to see them add additional content to these games, but I understand they just wanted to get these straight ported in anticipation of Pikmin 4. Great to see lots of Pikmin goodness finally on the Switch!

    I think they put the 1 on the original Pikmin because when packaged together pikmin 1 and 2 (or 1 plus 2 if you like to say that) sounds better than “Pikmin and Pikmin 2…

    I recently played pikmin 1 through 3 on switch for the first time and I loved it. But I did encounter one really strange glitch in 1.
    In the forest navel, there’s a part that you pick up in the north east corner that’s up on a ledge and when the pikmin brought it down they all disappeared along with the part. I think they may have glitches out of bounds but the part was totally gone and then every pikmin I threw after that would disappear as soon as they touched the ground. I just reloaded the day and it was fine but yeah it was very strange
