        1. Your not the only one the guy literally doesn’t know how game development works, he l acts like as soon as the game is finish the next sequel is automatically works.

    1. I am so happy to come here and see that I wasn’t the only person that thought of Grunty.
      But, who are we kidding? Grunty will no doubt find something else to pin on “Lying Miyamoto”.

  1. So they were trying a new gameplay concept and didn’t get it quite right until now (hopefully)?

    I get the feeling this will be the black sheep game of the mainline games. Or… everyone could love the new gameplay. I guess I’m not confident since it took them this long to develop it.

      1. I don’t know. I can’t imagine it’d be in development for this long just for a new camera angle. I’m just speculating though. At least it’s finally announced.

      2. I hope you’re right. Miyamoto makes me nervous with all his “innovations” that only sometimes work out lately. The first thing I thought (well, second after “FINALLY”) was that he was ruining it by completely changing the gameplay. Might have something to do with him opening with like 2.5 minutes of Pikmin Bloom, tanking my confidence. But after watching it again just now, I can see how it might be the usual gameplay.

    1. Ohhhhh it’s about darn time. Also as soon as Pikmin 4 comes.out.they need immediately start.on Pikmin 5. Pikmin fans had to wait 11 no wait 12 years. Which shows they didn’t work on the game immediately after Pikmin 3 was done. Yet they worked.on BOTW2 immediately after BOTW was finished. Why can’t they work on other games immediately besides the red and blue plumber and the green swordsman?
      Metroid fans have to wait over 20 years
      F Zero fans still waiting.
      I hope Astral Chain 2 was immediately worked on. And why is Microsoft owning all these developers and owned Rareware for 20 years and ain’t did nothing with Banjo-Kazooie. Interesting how Call of Duty, Mario Golf, Let’s Dance can be immediately made.

    2. 7 years ago, Miyamato claimed Pikmin 4 was very close to be being finished. This was before the Switch, so obviously it was originally being made for the Wii U.
      My guess as to why it’s been delayed for so long is that, at the time of Pikmin 4’s development, Nintendo was getting ready to abandon the Wii U and move to the Switch. Since Pikmin isn’t a massively popular franchise, it’s possible Nintendo could have deemed it a waste of resources to release it at the end of an unpopular console’s lifespan, but at the same time it would have been a resources to prioritize getting a port ready for the Switch’s launch.
      Miyamato has also stated that Pikmin was hard to prioritize amongst other projects, so Pikmin 4’s development was most likely halted in favor of getting other games done. Pikmin 3 Deluxe was possibly also made as a way to test Pikmin 4’s sales potential to evaluate whether or not Pikmin 4’s development should have continued development at all.

      Thank you for reading my corporate fanfic.

      1. Yeah will he better be making Pikmin 5 for the Switch 2 immediately so it can come out sooner rather than another 12 or 15 years. If they make a sequel immediately then the wait time is shorter. Which is why Switch is getting Tears of the Kingdom with BOW and PS4 got TLOU1 and TLOU2. A console can still get two games off the same franchise if they work on the game immediately. GameCube had Pikmin 1 and 2 because the sequel was made immediately.

  2. It’s about time! This was the best news from Nintendo in years. At least for me. In every single Nintendo Direct, I said (or thought) PIKMIN 4, PIKMIN 4, PLEASE!!! But then got let down. Until I just stopped expecting (kinda the same way I kept hoping for Mother 3, but then gave up). I got so sick of seeing one game after the other announced, and never Pikmin 4. I even began losing some interest in Nintendo because I thought of them as a “letdown company”. I’m glad this finally happened, so maybe I can start feeling better about them again.

    I only hope that after all of these YEARS of development that the game is WAY bigger than Pikmin 3 was (at least more like Pikmin 2). Pikmin 3 was mediocre at best. What was there was fun. But it was so short that it felt unfinished. Heck, you don’t even find the blue Pikmin until the end of the game when everything is over with. I was also annoyed that all you collected was fruit, fruit, and MORE fruit. Aside from a few gadgets. I want the regular treasure hunting and underground areas from Pikmin 2 to return. I better not be let down again. 🥺

    I wonder what the reason for the MASSIVE delay was?

    1. Pikmin 2 bosses were also a lot more harder to beat. Pikmin 2 still my favorite

      After all these years we been waiting this better be as big as Pikmin 2 was and I also want the underground dungeon back and collecting treasures for money. And best of all, I love Captain, Brittney and Alph but I want my main character Olimar and Luie back

  3. I am presently developing additional $33 k okay or many month-to-month from domestic via means of means of doing very honest and simple activity on-line from domestic. q1 i really have noninheritable specifically $20845 final month from this domestic activity. be a district of currently this activity and begin creating further money online via way of means of adjust to
