Lmao how is this comment older than the video

[@WolfmanArt]

You've been doing okay after your surgery?

[@thelonleygengar]

Members had it for more than a hour judging by that 3 days ago

[@keithtorgersen9664]

I like that Pikmin 4 does not have the requirement of searching for food. That felt somewhat stressful in Pikmin 3.

[@Labrys_]

Can you address what red Arlo said??????

[@WaxPenguins]

Major props to Arlo for keeping this video so brief!

[@cuomostan]

He should have made this a short

[@thehamgineer5814]

I believe if he didn't try this video could easily be 2 or 3 hours of just talking about Pikmin

[@zobbledobble599]

Considering this is Arlo talking about Pikmin 4, this is probably him trying his hardest to keep it short

[@rhyspieces5718]

Why too short needs at least 9 hours of content and an extra hour of just Arlo talking

[@why3994]

He just had to stretch it for 10 mins to get that ad revenue

[@amateraceon5202]

Between the Pikmin Big Fat Review, the Pikmin 3 discussion video, all the gushing over every trailer, and now this, I will gladly be taking as much long form Arlo Pikmin content as he gives us

[@genndybyrd]

I concur!

[@w1ndw4ker95]

You should watch his Twitch vod of him playing through the demo. It was a treat.

[@TritopolisD2406]

I hope you've fully recovered from your surgery. Nice to see these awesome people collabing with you again. This game looks so good and the hype is real. I'm especially excited about the night stages and Oatchi. I can't wait for it to release.

[@watershipup7101]

Same

[@genjis5155]

I love them too.

[@Vsirugo13]

They most likely recorded this before the surgery. Finding footage for an hour’s worth of a video takes time.

[@bluebaron6811]

"I finally got around to watching uhhh Better Call Saul" -Arlo, 2023

[@SharpEdgeSoda]

Less pikimin at start = better puzzles, more options for "metroid vania" style design. It's not an arbitrary limitation, it's a designed one, and a clever one at that. I think Pikmin needed the shake up in the puzzle solving and exploration, because "make it more lethal" only goes so far.

[@rudeboyspodcast]

Hard agree. I think it opens up more options for clever solutions early on instead of just "okay now I have 100 and the game is too easy" that old Pikmin games had.

[@ritter3723]

yeah, the flarlic system is an amazing design, rewarding you with more pikmin for exploring.

[@thekirbycrafter7229]

My only gripe is that more of the other pikmin puzzles were super late game to the point where it felt like they forgot about making puzzles that included all pikmin

[@chillchinna4164]

My only hope for Pikmin 4 is that we will finally capture Louie and hold him accountable for all of his various war crimes.

[@commonviewer2488]

My headcanon is this is the dark timeline and Louie is either dead, or a big game hunter

[@customsongmaker]

It was never confirmed, but I always suspected that Louie stole the PikPik carrots preceding the events of Pikmin 2

[@MarkElders]

​@@customsongmaker If you get a pink flower on all the Pikmin 2 challenges, you get a cut scene that shows that Louie ate the golden Pikpik carrots, thinking they were food. He's the reason Hocotate Freight went into debt.

I love how you can see Kane’s panic at the end when he realized his Pikmin were all the way on the other side of the map

[@PerfectKirby]

I do love how even the most callous Pikmin players hate leaving Pikmin behind because it feels too cruel lol

[@NinjarioPicmin]

@@PerfectKirby right? Because it shouldn't even matter like at all. You produce like thousands of every Pikmin type anyways that you will never ever need

[@JD-iu6rv]

I may never feel this hype again for a Pikmin game till I’m almost 40. So I’m going to enjoy my ride on the hype train

[@ChickenNugget7]

Let’s hope Pikmin 4 sells a lot so we can get another Pikmin game sooner

[@kirkenstiensmonster]

I'd be cool with having to wait 3 years for Pikmin hype levels this high.

[@pastapower69]

@@ChickenNugget7we are in the good timeline cuz it did!

[@donvoltonus8898]

On of the BEST new additions imo is making loose pikmin notice you in a slightly larger radius instead of direct touch.

[@polymerwario]

It would be hell in older games because of how close the pikmin would disband at times but now it's more than welcome with the more effective disbanding

[@austincrew9604]

Bring back Arlocast! Just rewatched the first few including the Pikmin 3 discussion to get hyped for 4. Almost there, let’s gooooo

[@Eamil]

That was my first thought. I miss ArloCast. This is the next best thing though!

[@Kinlon1102]

@@Eamilyeah me too, but I’m really glad we got this!

[@kevinduffy2568]

I think arlo discontinued it because of the workload…. Maybe this is a sign that it might come back in the future tho

[@mayoral_fabrication]

Me three

[@rootbourne4454]

I remember listening to it during some grueling summer work. It really helped make that bearable, so I’d love to see it make a comeback!

[@jertlemiah]

I was blown away by the demo, it felt like the best of 2 and 3 with new twists on it all. I'm super pumped for the full game

[@zLumiNeonz]

To me Pikmin 4 feels like an alternate timeline where Olimar either doesn’t have the 30 day limit, or isn’t aware of it. In Pikmin 1 when you get the interstellar radio, olimar says it can emit an SOS signal, but it doesn’t matter because he doesn’t have enough time remaining. In Pikmin 4 he obtains it and immediately sends out an SOS signal. Then it explicitly states a month passes before anyone answers, which would have depleted his life reserves and led to the bad ending in Pikmin 1. Seems to be asking “well, what if the radio did matter?”

[@MechaNoodle]

I kind of like that, but I wish they would have specified that's the story at the beginning.

[@bleemz]

I finally caved and got Pikmin 1 + 2 the day it released on the switch thanks to hearing Arlo rave about it for so long. I AM IN LOVE!! I’ve been playing and replaying the 3 mainline games in the last month and just finally called it a day on the Pikmin 4 demo. Friday can’t come soon enough!!

[@teapottanuki5841]

You have NO idea how much I was hoping this would happen

[@somebaker2613]

Arlo, antdude, and shesez are all content creators that I follow but I had no idea collaborated together. I love this so much. You all bounce off each other's ideas so perfectly and I would adore for ya'll to collaborate again. This was so so wonderful, thank you! Please keep up the amazing work

[@andrewstoner2032]

12:59 "You can indeed." I love that you can hear Arlo trying so hard to tone down his excitement over upgrading Oatchi in this line

[@codymickfilm7578]

As someone completely new to Pikmin, I honestly don’t mind the excessive dialogue at the beginning. I truly needed it.

[@jeffreyhoobob119]

The Arlocast returns from beyond the grave!

[@Final_Starman]

Yes!!! I remember watching you guys talk about the Pikmin 3 deluxe port like 2 years ago, so looking forward to this next hour, Pikmin fans are finally winning this year!

[@diggsj0536]

i hope these 3 get together and talk about pikmin forever. i just recently listened to your pikmin 3 discussion so i'm happy your talking about this now!

[@stagelights_]

the lock on in this game is mostly fine, however there was one case where i was trying to aim at a pool of water to throw my ice pikmin to get the blue onion back to base and they kept locking on to the spicy berry plant and it was very annoying.

[@BoundaryBreak]

For the record i am infact enjoying the game lol

[@Dreamwevers5031]

So are you gonna do a boundary break on Pikmin 3 or 4 cause you did 1 & 2?

[@rudeboyspodcast]

I knew you would. I just figured some things you liked more in previous games than this one.

[@masonreith2382]

Arlo, last I heard of ya you were rough, and now I’m there and it sucks. It’s so good to hear your normal voice, it raises my spirits and gives me hope. Love ya buddy!

[@SophiaSanders61]

So excited to hear your takes on all things Pikmin!

[@boxorox1964]

i cannot wait! for a pikmin 4 review, been loving the pikmin 4 discussions lately, cant wait!

[@lunamoona89]

One thing I learned from listening to this discussion is that Arlo and Antdude are pure hearted fellas and Shesez definitely has his opinions.

[@robertwilliamson2856]

Is it me or does Shesez often express his gaming opinions in a know-it-all and absolutist manner?

[@shadeyshroomy4006]

I actually really like the Flarlic just cuz it makes it feel like you are progressing more. Like having a 100 pikmin or something on the very first few days makes it feel anticlimactic. It makes the pacing feel better.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

But they could've started at 100 and unlocked up to 200 but none of the extra 100 are needed except for a few simple things and kept the same progression.

[@ziiiiiiii754]

@@Buglin_Burger7878 true, but that would also require them to rework enemies health and also pikmin damage.. since the max pikmin is most likely 100, we can keep past enemies and pikmin values relatively the same (which means less dev work).

[@moth2120]

@@Buglin_Burger7878This would have been way, way worse. Having 200 Pikmin AND Oatchi would trivialize absolutely everything. Flarlic is fine. It doesn't even take that long to get up to a serviceable amount in the demo.

[@mrshmuga9]

@@Buglin_Burger7878The background aren’t even at full detail, they still have to load while in-game. They wouldn’t be able to add 100 extra Pikmin without it affecting the visuals or performance. Something would have to be reduced. Plus you’d have the same problem anyway. You’d have to balance the game expecting people will have more than 100 because otherwise you’d steamroll the game.

[@prettyoriginalnameprettyor7506]

It also means oatchi feels necessary and not like an op thing, having only 20 or 30 pikmin makes him very necessary

[@Lacroyx_Harris]

The crossover that nobody asked for, but everybody needed 🥹

[@snapslingpeavine1371]

100% agreed.

Shesez: I even got enjoyment out of Hey Pikmin. Arlo: *insert kid with veins popping out of his temples meme*

Can you tell me what it is? I didn't get the email. I have a date tonight with a girl.

just wanna confirm that you can get the blue onion (and therefore, pikmin) in the demo. it takes a little thought to actually figure out how to get it, but you absolutely can

[@williamhardee8863]

Everyone’s putting so much stock into this being a reboot to the point where it’s got Shesez down on the game, but I really feel like once we play the full game it’ll just be another sequel and all this discussion will have been pointless. I feel like Olimar describing him discovering Pikmin and using them to collect his ship parts is just the game describing the concept of Pikmin to new players who have no clue what the game’s are about.

[@Gemma-Majoran]

there was a datamine.

32:00 About the origins of the rescue pup species, one of the nightly discussions that the crew shares in the demo reveals that the captain doesn't actually know where Oatchi's species originated from. My guess would be PNF-404, since Olimar found Moss there, but idk. Would be cool if you could find more.

[@Weatherman4Eva]

Apparently I didn't pay enough attention to the story parts of the demo because when olimar was talking about discovering pikmin and stuff i didnt realize it was a reboot type thing, i thought they were just recapping the story quickly for those that havent played the previous games

Really adoring all of the accessibility changes, especially since outside of lock-on, you dont necessarily have to interact w/them.

I want the game to randomly tell me the origins of pikmin and the onions. Something vaguely shocking like "oh, yeah. They were big. That big place over there was one of their houses. Some of them are keeping it clean and stuff"

[@commonviewer2488]

The house must be related somehow, it's well kept and the Pikmin were excited to be there

[@MuddyMoleMania]

Oachi has 3D Aardman eyes in a world full of flat cartoon eyes. He looks like a character from Flushed Away. Usually only enemies have those popped out eyeballs, and the lack of a nose doesn't help. I only started finding him cute when I saw him get sad. Now I will protect him.
