IDK. Looks kind of wrong to me. Mammal-looking beings in Pikmin are extraordinarily rare, I think 3's Amprat was just the first one. And to make the second one look like a dog... that's a miss for me.I love the noseless dog-thing. Looks exactly like a dog in the Pikmin universe would look.
I mean, you're ignoring some major mammal-looking beings in Pikmin, even if they aren't native to PNF-404IDK. Looks kind of wrong to me.

We better do. There is a funny boxart mock-up of Pikmin 3 that shows a cat (a big one) overlooking Olimar and a bunch of working Pikmin. I wonder if they did something remotely similar for this entry.can we go inside the house...
I think Pikmin 2's the best in the series and one of the best games ever made. But you need to approach it differently to 1 and 3. Engage with stuff like the encyclopedia (especially Olimar's descriptions of the monsters/treasures and Louie's recipes). The caves have their own charm, they remove the time management aspect and instead allow you to break things down bit by bit, which I prefer tbh. If you still have a Wii, play that version instead of the Gamecube one, the Wiimote + Nunchuk is the definitive way to play Pikmin IMO, it just works so well.With the tragic return of CAVES in pikmin 4, should I give another shot at pikmin 2?
I loved pikmin 1 and 3 but I always disliked pikmin 2. But if this game is taking some inspiration from it should I bite the bullet and finally beat pikmin 2 in preparation?
I don't think everything's gonna be in the backyard. This was the first proper trailer and Nintendo loves holding things back for a second trailer. Metroid Dread is a prime example for thisThe ice Pikmin does feel a little bit "fan created" but I'm sure it's gonna spice things up mechanically.
I also wonder if this just takes place entirely in a back yard? Or perhaps it's just one level. Also feel it might be more similar to Pikmin 1 story wise given the big crashed ship that seems to be there.
the trailer was uploaded at 60fps (unlike the zelda one, for example) but plays at 30fps.....so i'd say not likely, unfortunatelyis it 60fps?
Ehh, don't think so.The new camera angle makes me perceive graphics as the same as 3 but I'm sure that's not the case. It seems OG camera will be an option / view to toggle to? A natural evolution of Pikmin 3's more cinematic moments
Also that main character SCREAMS customizable to me
is it 60fps?
which of my 3 questions hahaEhh, don't think so
Question 2.which of my 3 questions haha

Interesting. Maybe the boss contains more parts, which is why they're fighting it? Also, it seems to be in some kind of garage.Did anyone mention that big number 1 sign in the scene with the big alien like spider boss? It's weird cause your ship part is right there and the exit, which I assume is in the background, is also close by. It almost looks like a boss rush mode but idk. I'm probably looking too much into it lmfao.
Yeah it was just something weird to me that stood out right away.Interesting. Maybe the boss contains more parts, which is why they're fighting it? Also, it seems to be in some kind of garage.
Oatchi is genius btw. A dog without a nose is the most Pikmin thing ever
I'd go a step further and even say 3 doesn't look that great as a Switch game. As someone who never played it on Wii U and was very excited to finally play the game, I was fully prepared to consider it one of the best looking Switch games but ... weirdly enough I think it's a game that really benefits from Youtube compression? Like it looks so clear and clean and then you actually play the game and the low res textures in environments are VERY noticeable.On the negative side, this is definitely a game that makes me regret that we never got a Switch Pro or that the Switch 2 isn't here yet. Pikmin 3 was 10 years ago, and yet this doesn't look like any kind of generational jump visually. Sure, part of that was because Pikmin 3 was stunningly gorgeous (seriously), but that's a long time. Pikmin is one of those rare Nintendo games that really relies on a bit of graphical horsepower - as you have tons of tiny beings running around (so high resolution is useful, and low IQ noticeable) and you're looking a large textures up close a lot. It's just hard not to be a bit disppointed by the graphical fidelity in 2023.
It would be pretty cool if you're right about this. What would red pikmin become?Considering we haven't seen Ice & Blue Pikmin together yet, I'm gonna take a guess the Blue's somehow transform into Ice temporarily, maybe for the remainder of the day? Following the same thought process I'm going to guess the Yellow Pikmin will have a transformation into Light Pikmin, which will aid in the Night mode somehow.
The easy answer would be a Lava Pikmin, but I'm not sure what its use would be. Burning objects to uncover new areas maybe?It would be pretty cool if you're right about this. What would red pikmin become?
can we go inside the house...
Maybe his nose is located elsewhere? Inside his mouth?Oatchi is missing a nose, but still sniffs out a castaway. How?
I'm fairly certain they're saving another type for the next trailer. It's easy media bait.I'm kinda bummed it seems like Ice is the only new Pikmin type.
