Fast forward a bit and I came across some videos of Arlo nerding out over Pikmin and Paper Mario and I knew I found a good one. Growing up Pikmin and Paper Mario were my FAVOURITE but no one around me liked them as much as I did.

      (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.

      @Lucrei. ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@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 +117

    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. Cant wait for 4!

Sure, the implications for what that means for us humans is kinda morbid, but that just added to the game's charm 😂

    A note on the glitchiness: this is a discussion that's always bothered me because there's some suspicions I have regarding it that I don't think I've ever seen confirmed(this discussion applies to another game I'll mention for comparison's sake). So I believe there are effectively 4 versions of Pikmin 1, The Japanese GameCube version, the International GameCube version, the Wii version, and the HD version. What I suspect is that the Japanese GameCube version was a pretty rough, glitchy, and somewhat unfinished version of the game while the International GameCube version was a much more solid, improved version based off of the Japanese GameCube version. Later, when the Wii version was made, instead of using the International GameCube version as a basis, the Japanese GameCube version was used instead, and the HD version once again ignored the more solid International GameCube version in favor of using the Japanese GameCube version, maybe even the Wii version. I say this because I know I've seen the Wii version being noticeably more glitchy than the International GameCube version, I'm now seeing it from the HD version, and this might not be the only game to have this rerelease issue.
    Sonic Adventure was released in Japan on the Dreamcast in 1998. The International Dreamcast version released in 1999 used its 9 months of time difference to give the game some improvements resulting in a substantially more solid game. Sonic Adventure DX was released on the GameCube in 2003 and was strangely far glitchier than what International audiences were used to. I believe this is because instead of using the International Dreamcast version as a basis, the less technically solid Japanese Dreamcast version was chosen instead, and as most people know, this problem was exacerbated by later rereleases using the GameCube's DX version as a basis. Getting back to the original subject, I believe both of these games went through the same process, leaving the International original console releases as the most solid official versions of each game.
    What bothers me about all of this is that this is something of never seen anybody with the proper technical knowledge and the tools for a direct comparison ever be able to conclusively confirm. I'd like to ask anyone who bothered reading all of this with that knowledge to confirm if my suspicions about Pikmin 1, and maybe Sonic Adventure, are true. If they are, I'll probably be skipping out on Pikmin 1 + 2 HD and holding on to my GameCube versions of each game instead which is something I really didn't want to have to do.

    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.

    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.

    The branded items that you find in Pikmin 2 were what kept me playing that one, where no other Pikmin has managed to keep my attention. The Switch version swaps them out for fake ones. So depressing. I loved looking at them on the collectible page and changing the lighting around. And I especially loved how they misinterpreted the items purpose. I guess my Steam Deck has a date with a Dolphin. I saw a modded 4K texture pack for Pikmin 2 as well. It even has Linux support, so no workarounds are necessary.

    Pikmin 1 is much better on the Switch than on the GameCube or Wii, as it doesn't have the crushing glitch in the Switch port.
    As for Pikmin 2, I don't like how they renamed the Gherkin Gate instead of finding an off-brand pickle jar lid and replacing it with that. But for me, the elephant in the room regarding the Pikmin 2 HD port is the fact that you can't seem to quick-build bridges anymore, making it a lot harder to 100% the Awakening Wood on day 5.

    My only issue with these remasters is that they really needed to expand the options menu to let us use "classic" controls. My muscle memory is so deep that i struggle to play the remasters. For now i will need to stick with dolphin emulation just to have the correct controls. (Its 2023, this shouldn't be an issue, games have had fully customizable controls since forever)
    Their are a couple other changes i don't like such as the nectar nerf especially in pikmin 1 where nectar is _the_ way you flower your pikmin, especially when speed running or even just half speed running. (The other option is leaving pikmin planted, or fighting the mamuta)

    I remember one time when I was fighting the armored mawdad in Pikmin 3, I was trying to go the entire day without losing a single pikmin, and I was doing really good. When I was carrying the mawdad and the dragonfruit back to the ship, I noticed that I was missing a single pikmin despite all of the careful monitoring and precautions I took. I didn’t see any pikmin die, so wondering what happened, I watch the prerecorded video to see what happened. As it turned out, during the battle with the armored mawdad, a singular red pikmin got launched out of the arena, and died due to landing out of bounds. This was the first and only time this would happen, but I find it kinda funny how a pikmin could even get launched so far

    Nice recovery at the end! They were carrying an item back to the ship but Arlo whistled them and had 99 out of 100 Pikmin at sundown so they didn’t die.
    That being said, the middle of the video had that battle, where he accidentally threw an extra Pikmin during the death throe animation of the balloon creature but hit the sleeping enemy. Just let the Pikmin melee the balloon enemy to death when the health gets to a sliver. They stay on there for a bit. Waking up that big mouth creature that way is really tough because you got to prepare for them.
    The second game is the best I agree. One time I started playing Pikmin 2 then I 100%’ed it without even intending to. It is that addictive!

    Pikmin is one of my favorite games of all time (which shouldn't be surprising since my current icon is for my Pikmin 2 Let's Play). Having these games on Switch has been such a dream come true.
    A bit of a correction though. Changing Pikmin types with the D-Pad wasn't in the Wii version of Pikmin 2. You could swap between flower and leaf with D-Pad Down, but could only swap types with B. Pikmin 3 was when they used the D-Pad for that

    At first, I was a bit mixed on the combined GC and Wii controls, which will also be the case in Pikmin 4. However, when I played it a bit more, im honestly impressed by how fluid it became to use this style. Sure, it's a little less precise than the Wii versions, but now I don't have to constantly point at the screen, which is nice. It's honestly a genius way of appealing to both GC and Wii fans of the first two games.

Not least because Arlo has done such a great job over the years of sharing his love and passion for this series! It's been rubbing off on me I suppose.
