Nintendo

I have never played it. Can't wait for the release.

Nintendo is really starting to push Pikmin again and I love it. Glad to have all the games on the switch. Capitalize on the popularity of the system to grow the franchise. Hopefully it's not another 25 years this time!

Haha, let's hope we don't have to wait that long, but you never know with Nintendo, if they think they don't have any new idea for the game, it is going to disappear in their locker for next 20 years.

My body is Reggie!

Agree, never finished the PS2 version. Would have like to see the option to play either the original or the 2D remake.

Yeah, it looks really fun. And not just new 2D Mario. Super Mario RPG Remake and Detective Pikachu, not to mention teaser for a new Princess Peach game.

I wasn't a huge fan of the NSMB series, and it always felt like they were just playing it safe. This one seems to have a similar look, but it appears they are trying some really original ideas with it.

Been playing it for a couple of months now on pc. It's cozy and chill. There are lots of little quests. Skills to develop (eg gathering/fishing/mining/gardening etc). NPC's to interact with and run errands for.

The only "combat" element is hunting. No fighting. (Whether that's a pro/con is a personal preference ofcourse.)

You need other players for small stuff, like chopping magical trees. Which most players are quite chill about and can be arranged on the spot. No need to join an established guild or something.

For late game, (when you have maxed all NPC's) the progress is in building/furnishing/beautifying a house, and for the completionists: catching all bugs/fish, craft all furniture, finding all the little secret quests.

The only paid content are outfits & pets. Purely cosmetic. They stated that they will keep it that way, and so far so good. So if you wish to support the company, you can. If not, there is no need to.

I haven't played any Pikmin game. Was thinking about starting 3 after TotK, but I wonder if I should start with the first one...

Going to see the trailer and reviews to see what condition the games are in, before making a decision.

First 2 games were on PS3, so should run fine. Even Arkham Knight was early PS4, so with good optimization shouldn't be a big issue.

Will have to wait and see the actual port.

Probably one of the darkest entries in the series.

Nope😭😭😭

If you have never played them, they are great games. One of the best super-hero game series, which raised the bar for all the games that follow, even then I would say only Insomniac's Spider-man has come close to it, but that's a very different game.

I just hope they are good ports!

It seems to be injecting a serious does of Nintendo quirk into the traditional 2d Mario platforming formula. I'm excited to see how it all turns out!

They mean June (20)23, I assume, but I understand the confusion.

Thanks. Appreciated. 😀
