I would say 5mil. They actually seem to be pushing and trying to expand the series at lot more than with 3 deluxe.
caves in 4 feel like the pikmin version of shrines from botw/totk mostly being puzzle-oriented so I feel very confident their handcrafted
They seem to have a set layout. All the footage I've seen of them looks identical to my playthrough of the demo, which makes sense, since the progression through each floor is too complicated to really work with randomly generated layouts. Though in return they seem to have also made them much shorter.
...is this sarcasm?
I think 4M is feasible. 3 DX did more than 2M and that got nowhere near the big marketing push that 4 is getting. It's also releasing on the sweet spot of being the first big game releasing after TotK which surely made a lot of people get a Switch or get back to playing Switch games. The demo will do it much good too, since it's very meaty and quite shows what the game is about in a brilliant way.
No, I'm saying that despite the sheer number of tracks (though a lot of them are probably layers to add percussion or something), pretty much none of it is any more melodic or musically substantial than Sun-Speckled Terrace's theme. The music in the demo is so sparse and unnoticeable it might as well not be there, outside of the themes and jingles reprised from past Pikmin games. I saw some people hoping it'd pick up a bit once you leave the first area and the "real" game starts, but the datamined stuff is not any different. It's still possible that this isn't all of it or that some of them could at least be layered together into something thicker like The Distant Spring theme when played in-game, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Because you haven't finished Pikmin 3 yet.
You should probably fix thatI don't even have Pikmin 3
Very well I will mug someone for 60 bucks
no way the Mario Kart 8 composer gonna let us down
This might sound stupid, but did you actually use the charge feature (holding X) to try and break the thing with Oatchi?
Wait, do we know anything about who's composing this? It didn't really sound like any of the past Pikmin composers to me at a cursory listen. Maybe one of them in a minor role doing menus and stuff, at most. If Atsuko Asahi went from Plasm Wraith to this, that'd be the biggest fall from grace I'd ever heard. Well, okay, maybe not worse than Kenta Nagata going from Dragon Roost Island to New Super Mario Bros. 2, but a close second.
Ok it worked lol. I think I just directed Oatchi at the pot and one of the captains said it wasn’t working so I thought you couldn’t progress. Dumb mistake but this game’s controls are a lot to remember.
Sound Director
Huh. I would guess the stuff that sounds similar to Pikmin 3 like the end of day variations is Hayazaki, most of the new stuff is Soshi Abe, and Kenta Nagata didn't necessarily compose anything himself, especially being an older composer at Nintendo with how they tend to just supervise most of the time. But I could see it going the other way with him being really hands on I suppose, the direction here actually isn't super far from some Mario Kart 64 tracks. There's plenty of stuff here like Banshee Boardwalk or DK's Jungle Parkway that's basically just a bunch of percussion. I feel like he's always been one of the more hit or miss classic Nintendo composers.
Pikmin 3 is a very short game, you can probably beat it in just one weekend! So 1 or 2 weeks should be plenty. You can probably even fit in another playthrough to see if you can beat your score
It's got more than one instrument, that's for sure! Sounds pleasant enough, although it pretty much just feels like Garden of Hope without the melody.
Yes this is what I'm hoping for as well, and it looks like we're in luck! 3 only really opened up once you got to the Tropical Wilds again which is pretty much 1/3th into the game. Faster freedom would be great for replayability as well
clearly to help new players when the Pikmin movie comes out/s
WE GOT ONE FOLKS!!!
Do we know this for sure yet?
