@@Echo81Rumple83I actually tried playing Pikmin on my steam deck but I couldn’t find a disc image for the Wii version, and I couldn’t get into the Gamecube one without type switching. The rerelease on Switch was exactly what I needed.

The Creeping Crysanthemum at 1:04:45 now reminds me of some old kaiju creatures. I've been getting into Ultraman this year, and seeing the way the eye was animated reminds me of the designs from the 1996 show

[@GeorgeMcF]

I’m usually not one to watch Vods all the way through but Arlo being so casual and having conversations and such during stream has made it super easy to just put it on in the background while working on stuff

[@Procrastination21345]

Same this is the first vod I’ve watched the whole way !!!!!

[@dot-rudd]

I don't know what it is, but my dog freaking loved this video. She watched the whole thing with me and was so interested. I guess you've got human and canine fans over here, Arlo! 😂

[@bigcollin1006]

Funny that you mention that each Pikmin type has it's own visual feature. I just noticed this yesterday, and it struck me that when teamed up together, the first three pikmin types of red, yellow, and blue cover all 5 of the senses. Neat details!

[@JammyJam5588]

It could be said White and Purple round it off too Red=Nose=Smell Yellow=Ears=Hearing Blue=Mouth=Taste White=Eyes=Sight Purple=HairFeelerThings???=Touch Well purples are the ones with the most mass and touch anyway.

[@BlackMantisRed]

@@JammyJam5588 Their are technically more then 5 senses, Purple pikmin = sense of gravity. You can look at a persons hair to see which way gravity is falling.

[@robinfox4440]

Louie isn't one-dimensional in Pikmin 3! He's sneaky, mysterious, speaks little, and has an eerie sense of imminent danger... almost as if he has a strange connection to the planet's wildlife... And he's also quite a cook!

[@trentenhewitt4776]

2:07:38 I’m so glad I was able to find this. It makes me so happy to look back on that day. Arlo videos always put a smile on my face. I’m glad I was able to do the same in return ❤️

[@phyllojoe5346]

I do really like the reuse of the map in TotK, it makes it feel like an realistic sequel, and I love the joy of discovery seeing how they changed locations that have been so dear to me for 5+ years

Then there's the new Flowerblight lore

[@lorenzotaz]

In my own personal canon, Louie suffered an untreated concussion in the beginning of this game, leading to the events involving him in Pikmin 3

I played Pikmin 2 for the first time last year thanks to dolphin. Arlo's love was a big factor in getting me to try it. Btw shelled sunflower seeds on avocado toast is super delicious.

I've just started getting into Pikmin. Beat the first one and now starting the second. It's pretty dang fun!

[@jonathanwilson7949]

[@Cheggg_]

In pikmin 4 I believe that Oatchi is capable of throwing and calling pikmin essentially giving us 2 captains

[@secondengineer9814]

Nerf idea for purples: You need to "charge up" a throw with them for it to stun. I.e. you hold the purple for ~3 sec and then the throw will do a lot of damage/stun. Otherwise, purple is thrown just like other piks?

[@Aquatj999]

That’s a really interesting idea, actually! It’s so easy to forget about the charge as anything more than time to line up uour shot. It could make them feel like great combat support, and let you keep Pikmin on an enemy without having to whistle them off :D

[@nelsonflores8145]

Just finished my first playthrough of Pikmin 1. Game is really good even as the beginning of this game franchise, though pikmin love to hide about in every corner I still found controlling the pack not too bad with some time and practice. With only two day rollbacks (day 29+30) was able to get the rest of the parts and completed the ship in all it’s glory. Thank you Arlo for introducing me and many others to this franchise and hoping to see many more streams from ya 😁

[@Baronvonkame]

Dang Arlo, can't wait to watch these later and commiserate with your playthrough, it's great to play these again.

[@Tarro57]

Omg can't wait to watch a full Arlo Pikmin 2 run. Loved the Pikmin 1 run, thank you for doing these!

[@BeatsByRouph]

the fact that i related so much to arlos avocado butter egg toast take just makes me like even more

[@burgila7878]

I think what would've been cool is that the bodies on caves would go to a purple and white pikmin onion, and so you can build your troops up for them easier, but ONLY in caves.

[@SpeedGlider20]

Thank you so much, keep uploading things like this if you can, it's helping me spend time recovering from getting my wisdom teeth out.

[@superfurryfox1]

Can't wait to play this again, but patiently waiting for the physical release... So guess I can wait

[@Taran2laGames]

I'm happy I was able to watch the whole thing live.

[@RedLuigi235]

Pikmin 2 is definitely my favorite but 3 is for sure the tighter game. It's like, sickeningly well put together. If 4 is (an evolution of) the gameplay of 3 with the... game? of 2 then it'll easily be the best one in the series

[@wompus_king]

Thank you for posting these! Twitch doesn’t work too well with my wifi, and I really love the vods

[@Mineman1969]

I can’t describe just how much better this game would be if the spaceship couldn’t talk

[@Avalon304]

Looking at the disrepair of the ship they give Olimar and Louie... the company is drastically underpaying for everything, including salaries....

[@HeilRay]

Arlo your purple pikmin slander will not be tolerated. They are super powered for a reason. They're harder to generate and the slowest pikmin even with flower buds they are slower than many leaf pikmin so running they're easier to get picked off if careless. With their heavy power they can stun and give off heavy damage. It's balanced enough. They are only op if you're already great at the game.

On the bugs that still wiggle after you kill them, a lot of insects and some reptiles still twitch and writhe after death, so you might just be seeing it do that.

I don't think I ever realized that Pikmin 2 had any reused areas, or if I did, I completely forgot.

[@TheUltimateRare]

probably to save money since Pikmin doesn't exactly bring in huge bucks.

[@RoachCatJr]

@@TheUltimateRarei'd say to save time. plus it's real nice bc it feels so slightly different

[@thegreatestegg6303]

I think the reason they didn't do Green or Orange is because- Orange can be way more easily seen as red than Purple can be seen as Blue (especially the shade they used), and Green would blend in too much with the basic leaves on Pikmin.

[@Sam_T2000]

bro, don’t microwave your eggs… don’t microwave anything, if you can help it. pro-tip for easy poached eggs: crack the egg in a little bowl first, and drop it into a solution of room temp water and vinegar. the vinegar cooks the outside of the egg ever-so-slightly, helping it keep its form during cooking. transfer the egg from the vinegar solution to the simmering water with a spider thingy. also, maybe use apple cider vinegar, for a tiny healthy upgrade? or if you’re just cooking one egg, just swirl the water in the pot before dropping the egg into the center of the vortex.

Are we sure that Pikmin 4 only has one captain? I feel like there's no way they'd do that, especially when they've shown you'll definitely be rescuing other captains/characters. I wonder if some of those will provide upgrades and some will become additional captains to control.

[@TheUltimateRare]

100 of their money is more than a years salary... given that he probably gets paid decently, maybe around 90,000 a year... We can guess that 10,000 is probably equal to 10 million dollars for us.

[@darcidious99]

Man after playing 2, I can really appreciate the QoL that 3 gave us. Pikmin AI is really REALLY dumb, the swarm doesnt feel as reliable as charge, and seeing certain enemies respawn every day/every other day can make exploring the world a little bit frustrating. On the other hand... Man pikmin 3's difficulty is a pretty big letdown compared to 2's, Ive lost so, SO many pikmin in 2😂. I made the smart decision of doing i believe the subterranean complex for my 3rd dungeon, and while I think the boss is super overrated (he couldnt hit anything but purple leafs so he only killed like 3 pikmin), my GOD i lost 60+ pikmin. I wish the difficulty wasnt quite so random like falling bomb rocks/bomber dweevils, but I definitely appreciate the leap on difficulty.

[@redpup112]

they added a difficulty that makes the game significantly harder in 3 Deluxe. the most notable change is that you can only have 60 pikmin out at once! and if you played that and found _that_ easy, I applaud you for being very good at Pikmin

Plus Purple Pikmin are pretty balanced especially for new players since they're much harder to obtain than Red, Blue and Yellow Pikmin. I'm still hesitant to throw them in harm's way because of that.

[@bigorange4919]

I think this game is alright but I do not understand why people say it’s the best in the series

[@cookiesontoast9981]

Because it has the most content, the most challenge, a bunch of creepy lore, the caves give a style of more laid back Pikmin gameplay unlike the other 2 games (we will see with 4) Might be the only reasons I can think of why people think it's the best? But they're pretty good reasons. It might be my favourite, I'm not sure, I love Pikmin 3 too but for different reasons and I love Pikmin 1 but clearly it's the weakest.

[@SantaFeSuperChief1]

Just found out that Pikmin 4 is going from 3's simultaneous co-op multiplayer to a Super Mario Galaxy-style 'second player can shoot stuff with an on-screen pointer'. Pikmin 4 has gone from "day one purchase" to "might pick it up on sale someday" for me. Pikmin NEEDS co-op multiplayer.

[@thecanadianfood]

Pikmin 2 is the weird one? What exactly is weird about it?

[@wintersong2266]

Well Pikmin 1 and 3 is about time management and collecting everything in the game before time run out. (Even tought the game give you so much time that you'll never run out of time save for maybe on your first playthrought.) In Pikmin 2, you still collect treasures. However there is no time limit at all. You can just take as many days as you want to beat the game. The game also introduced caves that change everytime you enter and they house many treasures and dangerous enemies. Basically this game introduced some dungeon crawling elements in the Pikmin series which wasn't a thing in 1 or 3. But it look like the concept of caves is returning in Pikmin 4.

[@TheUltimateRare]

Pikmin 2 is the best one of the first 3 because it has such a nice charm to it. so many missable cool stuff and a labor of love indeed.
