Chris Littlechild — Sun, 23 Jul 2023 05:30:20 GMT

Which Pikmin Are You, Based On Your Zodiac?

Branden Lizardi — Sat, 22 Jul 2023 00:45:17 GMT

Pikmin 4 introduced two more varieties of Pikmin to the series. Pair that larger-than-ever selection of weird little guys with the expanded leafling lore and a new grub-dog-like companion, and there have never been so many friendly faces in the series. That got us thinking: what would their zodiac signs be?

Pikmin Hasn't Sold Well Because Players Find It Too Difficult, Says Miyamoto

Rhiannon Bevan — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 11:32:57 GMT

Shigeru Miyamoto reflects on the relatively poorer sales of the Pikmin series, at least when compared to other Nintendo properties. Speaking as the most recent instalment, Pikmin 4, launches on Switch, Miyamoto suggests that previous titles haven't sold as well as hoped because Nintendo's audience finds them too difficult.

Pikmin 4 Has A Bunch Of Pointless New Features

Jade King — Thu, 20 Jul 2023 16:15:17 GMT

Pikmin 4 is great, and it might even be the strongest game of the series. However, in this advancement it can’t help implement new mechanics and means of approachability that dilute the once-challenging gameplay formula. Most of these features I never used once during my review playthrough, or felt confused about what exactly they’d add to the experience if I did. Nintendo takes it too far in one direction with no going back.

How Many Pikmin Would It Take To Carry A Dead Body?

Jade King — Thu, 20 Jul 2023 14:00:18 GMT

I would like to preface this article by making it clear that I’m not very good at maths. Every little thing about this hypothetical scenario is going to be defined by some diabolical napkin science bullshit fuelled by morbid curiosity and easy access to any answers I might require through a quick Google search. I’ve also never buried or even seen a dead body myself, promise, so please don’t put me on a list for exploring the long held question of how many Pikmin it would take to carry one. If I ever was to need help disposing of a dead body, hypothetically of course, I know I’d call on these lil’ dudes because they’re hella loyal.

Pikmin 4 Review - Olimar Is Back On The Corpse Carrying Grind

Jade King — Wed, 19 Jul 2023 13:01:16 GMT

Pikmin 4 understands the overwhelming appeal of scale. We explore a tiny version of our world filled with household objects like Game Boys and alarm clocks which, at this size, could easily crush us to death. Microscopic insects and similarly insignificant wildlife we’d previously wipe underfoot are capable of swallowing us whole or throwing us across the environment like insignificant ragdolls. Virtual experiences like this are simultaneously enthralling and terrifying.

You Don't Want To Miss These July New Game Releases

Eric Switzer — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 21:28:18 GMT

We’ve made it halfway through 2023, and it feels like we’re in the eye of the storm for new game releases. We’ve just been served a four course meal of Game of the Year contenders with Street Fighter 6, Tears of the Kingdom, Diablo 4, and Final Fantasy 16, and now we’ve got a few weeks of downtime before we’re an even bigger deluge of massive triple-A games, including Starfield, Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Alan Wake 2, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage. July may seem relatively sparse compared to the rest of the year, but there’s still a few games you’ll want to keep an eye on throughout the month.

Pikmin 4 Pre-Order Guide

Josh Coulson — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 11:52:15 GMT

After the longest wait between Pikmin games in the series history (that's a theme we're probably going to have to start getting used to with pretty much everything), Pikmin 4 launches this month. Hitting digital and physical shelves on July 21, 2023, if you simply can't wait that long, the demo is available to play for free on Nintendo Switch right now.

Demos Are A Big Deal Again

Josh Coulson — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 14:30:17 GMT

The first half of 2023 has been relentless when it comes to massive video game releases, and the second half of the year shows no signs of letting up. There's a seven-day period in October where we're going to get Alan Wake 2, Super Mario Wonder, Metal Gear Solid's Master Collection, and Spider-Man 2. Sonic Superstars is rumored to be launching that week too. Simply put, most people either aren't interested or can't afford to play everything the industry has to offer. That's why demos are more important now than ever before.

Summer 2023 Video Games Are The Weird Time In The Calendar

Stacey Henley — Sun, 02 Jul 2023 14:30:18 GMT

We’ve had some huge months in gaming recently. I’m still in the early throes of Final Fantasy 16, and need to beat Diablo 4, while Street Fighter 6 has fallen by the wayside. May, meanwhile, was dominated by Tears of the Kingdom, and April started the Spring Offensive of video game releases with the likes of Honkai Star Rail and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. But as we roll into summer, baby, it’s time to get weird.

Pikmin 4 Fans Are Upset Over Lackluster Story Co-Op Mode

Joshua Robertson — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 01:15:30 GMT

Pikmin 4's big release day is almost upon us, but some fans of the series are a lot less excited than others. We've been steadily getting more information about the game via the latest Nintendo Direct and a recent batch of previews, which have led fans to discover that Pikmin 4's co-op mode is a lot less robust than its predecessor Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Understandably, they're not best pleased.
