The final resort

Nintendo has revealed that the star of Pikmin 4 will probably be you! Or no matter uni-browed monstrosity you’ll be able to put collectively within the character creator.

Earlier video games within the Pikmin sequence have had you play as a number of pre-defined explorers. It began with Olimar, earlier than reaching its peak with Pikmin 3’s Brittany (and another individuals). Nevertheless, I usually say {that a} character creator at all times makes a recreation higher. I’m jazzed so exhausting to see one make its means into Pikmin 4.

The trailer Nintendo launched with the announcement additionally reveals off a little bit of the story. It appears Captain Olimar has as soon as once more crashed on planet PNF-404. A rescue expedition flies off to retrieve them, they usually additionally crash. So, they ship the latest recruit to the rescue corps to rescue the rescuers, and that’s you!
I discover that hilarious as a result of the trailer makes it seem such as you don’t have a lot of a ship with you. It very a lot makes it seem that your character is the underside of the barrel. You’re not some hotshot. You’re simply the one one who hasn’t crashed (but).

Pikmin 4 is my most anticipated recreation of the yr, principally as a result of we’ve been teased about it a lot. Nintendo introduced the sport again when the Wii U was nonetheless a factor. Nevertheless, I’m excited concerning the path that we’ve seen up to now. I’m a bit of involved that the dungeon caves of Pikmin 2 would possibly return, however we’ll see. I’m as optimistic as my mind permits me.

Pikmin 4 launches on Nintendo Swap on July 21, 2023.
