Pikmin 4 Review

Pikmin 4 reviewed by Jada Griffin on Nintendo Switch

"Like the three wonderfully weird mainline games before it, Pikmin 4 has once again captured my heart with its charming creatures that fearlessly follow commands regardless of their own well-being. The difficulty leaned a bit too much towards the easier side, but all new features like ability upgrades, a pair of new Pikmin, and our loyal sidekick Oatchi add some variety to the traditional gameplay by offering options other than the grab-and-throw Pikmin formula of the past. Coupled with the largest number of enemies to battle, treasures to collect, and awesome post-game content that incorporates some great callbacks to the earlier games, I’m left with not just a positive outlook on Pikmin 4, but the direction the series is heading as a whole."

It makes me so happy to see this game finally see the light of day. The series has been overlooked for so long. Im nearly in tears from excitement and nostalgia as we are merely 2 days away from its release!!

"Pikmin 4 saves its best content for after you've completed the main story"

Ah, so this IS a spiritual succesor to Pikmin 2.

This series has suddenly become one of my favorites! I'm glad Nintendo chose to release all the games on Switch (Hey Pikmin doesn't count 👀). Just 2 more days!

6 full areas, 110 enemies, 23 caves, main story plus side story, and all 8 pikmin type onions to collect. Hell yea its worth buying. And no the reviewers are misleading with saying pikmin 4 is easy, its harder than pikmin 3 and a bit like pikmin 2, some enemies will delete your whole pikmin army.

Watching the purple pikmin walk quickly sparks joy.

Started with Pikmin 3 & was instantly hooked, can't wait to get this Friday.

The biggest sin of this game is no online dandori battles

[KrazyBean]

All Pikmin games are a great time. Dunno when I'll have the time to play this, but I'll definitely be playing.

Man, Pikmin 2 multiplayer was so much fun. After a decade of developing the game, I'm really disappointed they didn't invest in a better multiplayer mode.

Incredible the kind of performance they manage to keep getting out of the Switch given its technical specifications - real wizards working for Nintendo 🥰

[MukiMuki]

The Pikmin 4 Rom leak is the reason why console manufacturers use to do custom hardware, rather than constructing from off-the-shelf components, like what they do now. The X360 had pretty much every game leaked before launch.

Always been a die hard Pikmin fan. Glad the series is getting the recognition it deserves

Every pikmin 2 player got goosebumps after hearing the music at 3:55

Overlord and Pikmin always have a particular hold on me. There's something about having armies of little minions to follow you around. It's a shame there aren't more titles outside of these, Tinykin & My Life As King.

[BobbyJenko]

Everyone please give the demo a try! It’s a big demo and you won’t regret it. This is, in my opinion, the best pikmin yet! If it does well we should see another leap in the formula.

Aside from a couple of issues, this could easily dethrone Pikmin 2 as my favorite game ever.

[DRKFiBR]

Such a shame that they neglected proper co-op like that.

watching the purple pikmin do the sumo thing warms my heart

[ericparazak]

3:52 is that...Submerged Castle music?!

[MediocreManaAGAGAGAGAG]

at around 5:16 they revealed that every pikmin has it's own onion (I've been waiting for purple pikmin to get their own onion since pikmin 2)
