‘What’s up with that,’ you may ask yourself, but the game’s in no rush for answers. What’s better, you do all of this not in the usual lush outdoor environments, but instead in a giant modern home.

Nintendo dumped a toy box into my lap, a toy box I had seen in the corner of the gaming world for years and never bothered to poke at, and revealed a treasure trove. The core loop of exploration, collecting treasure, fighting monsters, and running back to safety is extremely satisfying. If the game’s developers weren’t thinking about Pikmin, why should I?Īfter getting thoroughly lost in Pikmin 4, I’ve come to realise that I need to check out those other Pikmin games, because Pikmin 4 is one of the most infectious and impossible-to-put-down games I’ve played this year. For Nintendo’s part, they didn’t seem too pressed to move new Pikmin games out the door, as Pikmin 3 released a literal decade ago in 2013. My first exposure to Captain Olimar and flower-headed children/soldiers was in Super Smash Bros. When the original came out on the GameCube, I was a kid who had to pick and choose which games to ask for, and Pikmin’s hectic-looking multitasking and puzzle elements scared me off. ![]() ![]() Prior to Pikmin 4, I had never actually played a Pikmin game before.
