Pikmin 1 + 2 HD Bundle Nintendo Switch Review & Technical Comparison!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Cheers to Glen for lending me his brain for this one! We have worked together to bring you this one in a timely manner. Mark

[@thegundampilot01]

100% going to pick this up after this review! Thanks boys 🫡

[@GrinningWolfGames]

I love Pikmin 2

[@Chiakiandmikanarebest]

It was originally added in the Wii version too

[@GrinningWolfGames]

I own both the GameCube and Wii versions. I’m glad I won’t need to dust those consoles off to play these games now

[@denimchicken104]

The time limit in the original seems stressful on a first play through, but after that it’s really not bad. I think the OG is the most replayable.

[@secretaryjecc495]

I don't know what the puss is about on the 30-day limit. It's quite a fun feature that adds a little to the challenge. I personally think that the first one is a much better game story and gameplay-wise (Apart from the Pikmin AI and the frustrating controls).

[@budderguy2128]

The second game removes any sense of urgency with the cave system. It’s conceptually broken and breaks much of what the first game did. (3 did this idea much better) Even so, I still love the game all the same. Glad they’re reimagining the idea of caves for the new entry

[@ShadowZone1996]

It’s really not that bad considering you can redo the day if you felt you could improve your time. This is comming from someone who can’t really enjoy playing Majora’s Mask because of it’s timer

[@Poemiserable]

@@secretaryjecc495 Yeah, it wasn't 'antiquated' then and it isn't 'antiquated' now.

[@cosmosofinfinity]

When I was a kid, I returned the game to GameStop because I was too scared by that mechanic lol... I didn't want to get to the final day and get a game over from running out of time. I regret doing that. Current me disrespects kid me

[@toypop96]

As soon as I saw them announce it, my first thought wasn’t how the games played or looked, but rather how’d they go about dealing with the branded treasures in Pikmin 2 (like the Duracell batteries or the bottle tops). I honestly thought they didn’t wanna go through with editing or relicensing them which is why we’d never seen a more modern rerelease but it’s interesting to see they obviously put a bit of work in there. It is a a shame though, since seeing all those common everyday items in the game added to its charm, in my opinion.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah for sure! Mark

[@Fickets]

Exactly how I feel playing it. Luckily I still have my GameCube copy to be able to see the original models.

[@slightcurve98]

I still have the original games and it’s a shame it’s not got the original treasure and that added charm to the game but it still a brilliant game

[@connory94]

It was kinda nice talking to my parents about the treasures based on old things they would remember. I remember showing dad a bottle cap of some drink and he said something along the lines of, "oh I remember that one. they're not around anymore. it wasn't all that good anyways."

[@gpocketgamer7981]

These rereleases actually convinced me to finally get into series with me finally getting 3 and eventually getting 4.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Same they're really fun games. Mark

[@SleepyFawn]

Thank goodness Nintendo is FINALLY putting in a real effort to help their smaller franchises blow up. Maybe new horizons or metroid dread taught them (they've been pushing a lot of metroid, too)

[@gpocketgamer7981]

@SleepyFawn Metroid Dread was my first Metroid, and I loved it. I went on to buy Metroid Prime as soon as it was available for purchase.

[@SleepyFawn]

@gpocketgamer7981 the metrpid prime remaster was mine! It blew me away! Love the demo for dread, but have a backlog of games I want and have to wait for lol (especially pikmin 4!)

[@wastelandlegocheem]

[@mrxcaliber4320]

Most if not all of the product placement has been removed unfortunately

[@Stibly]

I have both games for the Wii, honestly? I don't think I'll be buying the Switch rerelease because of that, but you have no idea how happy it makes me knowing that newer generations and newer Pikmin fans can enjoy these games on new hardware. They haven't been sold properly in years. I'm also very happy that others who remember the game fondly can finally replay it.

[@nojuanatall3281]

Same. It is cool they're available on the switch now. But I have nothing the gamecube and wii versions. So no reason for me.

[@GoldenLeafsMovies]

I don't even know if my old GameCube/Wii works, I don't even know where I stored them. So I'm gonna buy them for convenience sake. Something that bums me is the redone treasure textures, though I know why they had to do it.

[@ryan20028]

Main benefit of these versions are glitches patched. Especially the horrible crushing glitch in Pikmin 1.

[@GoldenLeafsMovies]

@@ryan20028 Double spray nectar glitch is still there so it's interesting they modified them only to a certain extent.

[@MorphBaller388]

You wouldn want them portable

[@hiotsobo]

I feel like I’m one of the few people that liked the 30 day time limit of the first game. It made me perfect my strategy each day to get as many parts as possible. Ntm, the sound track of the first game is amazing

[@CurlyChop]

Yeah, my thoughts too, the lack of urgency in 2 hinders it I feel. Whenever I replay I always try to finish 2 in 30 days anyway

[@owenduffy5745]

​@@CurlyChopI actually appreciate how each of the Pikmin games feel very different to play. The challenge of Pikmin 2 comes not from the time limit but from not being able to replenish Pikmin in caves, especially with how difficult the caves are in the second half of the game

[@lukers9819]

Other games in the series do not need a day limit, but I truly believe that Pikmin 1 needed that time limit to be a great game. Not for gameplay purposes, but for story and thematic purposes. Olimar's urgency to survive to be able to see his family again is such a critical and endearing motivation. If the game was simply Olimar crash landed on the planet, but there is no urgency to leave whatsoever, the game loses one of the games biggest strengths. The other games don't need to have an arbitrary day limit, but the day limit in Pikmin 1 was not just a game mechanic. It was a tension that was felt by both the story's main protagonist and the player. The fear that a father and husband might never be able to see his family again. It is the reason why Olimar feels such a depth of gratitude to the Pikmin, as he literally owes his life to them. These emotions ring true all because of what in most games would just be a limit imposed for difficulty. Not all of the games in this series need a day limit, as not all of the stories need to evoke the same emotions. But Pikmin 1 was enhanced dramatically from a story and atmosphere perspective from this one addition.

[@JohnWestIV]

The time limit and getting back by nightfall combination made the 1st one very enjoyable and I also preferred it.

[@HansAlRachid]

Right there with you - really wrapped the whole experience into one cohesive package. Without it the mechanics just feel a bit loose and aimless. I also loved the score chasing aspect for that same reason.

[@JustCyanaid]

I always forget that a lot of people really don’t like the 30 day time limit in pikmin 1. For me, that time limit is the reason why I fell in love with the series. The world of pikmin is vast and beautiful, but the threat of total destruction looming overhead if you’re not fast enough really grounds the game in a way that really works for me. Yes it’s stressful, that’s the point. It makes every victory feel like a huge gain, and really makes it feel like you’re beating the odds when you have a plan go just right. Losses are similarly amplified, which makes you really care about every decision you’re making. It also means something narratively. Olimar is a normal guy put in a truly life or death situation and you get to see how he reacts to it throughout the whole game. He’s genuinely intrigued by the pikmin and the world they live and he want to know more, while simultaneously being shaken by the idea that he might never return home. The story and gameplay here feed into each other masterfully. Olimar is already well written, but the constant ticking clock makes you relate to him even more, and really care about what he’s doing all this for.

[@GoldenLeafsMovies]

I've always preferred the isolating feel of the first game, even if it's more clunky. I also hate the bs difficulty of the second game, lol.

[@McGregor43]

The game also isn't very long so even if you hit the 30 day time limit and have to restart, it really doesn't take that long to get back to where you left off.

[@harribo2323]

i completely agree with you on that

[@daniellebackus819]

Agree 100%. Pikmin 1 feels totally different from Pikmin 2 and 3 because of that timer, and it’s my favorite by far.

[@mongoose1billion]

Agreed. I feel like the 30 day limit gives things a bit more structure. You have to start every day with some kind of goal in mind.

[@James-gj8rn]

I'm not ashamed to admit that i got these as soon as they went live with the bundle (and yes i'll be getting the physical release when it drops) Man i've not played these for years, the nostalgia is hitting me like a truck, i've missed this :')

[@themarchinggoblin8294]

Waiting for the September physical but yeah looks nice to be able to play these again

[@RetroBreak]

Interesting to hear your thoughts. I always much preferred Pikmin 1 BECAUSE of the time limit! It makes it much more fun to plan and strategise to make sure you can do everything and have enough Pikmin saved up for the challenge at the end! And seeing the daily reports at the end of the stage building up to the end of the time was a great way to see it play out. The 2nd felt quite bloated and unfocused because of the extra freedom I felt.

[@peacho7515]

The product placements are gone!? NOOOOOOO! I loved that when I was kid, it made it feel and think that Pikmin were real

[@Iblistech2]

I got the first Pikmin game as a kid and I absolutely loved it. I went ahead and picked it up from the eShop before it and the second game release physically in September.

[@nickstoneham5629]

I think my only gripe was that they didn't add a multiplayer story mode for the second game, similar to what they did for the third game.

[@jessiebloxie]

Pffft, Nintendo hates adding new content to their old games! They'd never do anything like that

[@saffronoak6276]

The game hasn't been out for a day and you made a good video on what I was worried about and wanted to know.

[@pheonix9372]

Having never played or owned either of these titles on previous consoles this bundle appeals to me. Waiting for the physical to release. I've always thought these look cute but a timer stressed me out. I like to think I am a more capable gamer at this point...hmmm maybe Pikmin 2 is my speed hehe.

[@dooplon5083]

take it from someone with personal experience with the first one, the timer is barely there by your second playthrough, and basically gone by your third lol. You have ample time to collect all the parts and can make you pikmin so efficient you speedrun it as part of the gameplay loop. also a handful of parts aren't even necessary either so thats nice (though some that are required are kinda odd tbh)

[@QwixLF]

Agreed. Pikmin 2 can get you comfortable with the basics of Pikmin just fine, definitely enough that playing the first after that will make the timer a non issue. But the first game is lenient enough on its own and short enough that running into the time limit isn't the end of the world.

[@dooplon5083]

@@QwixLF Hell, if you screw up you can even rewind the clock on the save screen to redo stuff from that day onward, the time limit is super lenient and if you managed to do two parts a day you'd probably manage about 17 or so days of game time, hard to do fir a beginner, sure, but it just shows how lenient it really is. (my first run on switch was 24 days but I played it a ton years ago lol)

[@micahrobbins8353]

That's crazy to me that someone could see the time limit as a design flaw. I always saw pikmin as an rts and without time pressure, there was no incentive to be efficient, so pikmin 2 felt like it was kinda missing the point

[@mathdantastav2496]

right? that man is crazy

I'm so glad I don't have to bust out the wii to play these games now! I got the bundle as soon as it came out with no hesitation, and I started playing through the second game to get back into Pikmin before the fourth game drops. It feels so good to play one of my favorite games on the modern Switch.

[@blaster915]

Something that always bugs me about Pikmin remasters is the lack of full integration of 2 player, especially in Pikmin 2! The main campaign could easily have the split screen done in modern Pikminn. It shouldn't be locked by the hardware of its time keeping 2 player only for smaller one on one maps.

[@aberoy9957]

Got me a switch a month or so ago and since this Chanel has been a great help when deciding on buying or not a game

[@andrewstoner2032]

I feel like the playtimes are a bit misrepresented at 7:11. Pikmin 2 is a much longer game than Pikmin 1. If it takes the full 30 days to play 1, then you'll need much more play time for 2. Consider also that the caves stop game time, so even if it took 30 game days to play Pikmin 2, that'd be more like 30-50 hours of game time

[@Purpylon]

I tried to find changes to the games besides resolution, and i did see that bombs in Pikmin 1 are bigger. A nice change to make them feel more powerful and to more easily see bomb rock carriers. Other than that, and the brand removal on treasures, i don't see much new stuff. A little disappointing to see that Pikmin ghosts in Pikmin 1 are still just blue instead of changing color depending on what Pikmin type it was.

[@sahpdude]

Pikmin 2 will be recognized as the best Pikmin game amongst 1 2 and 3 and maybe even 4. But 4 looks really promising

[@Bakuuren]

Thanks for this! I will definitely be waiting for the physical versions of these. I remember liking these games quite a bit as a kid.

[@suroguner]

the loss of Duracell must be an expired license and not wanting to renew. Oh well, just call it a store brand battery.

[@CurlyChop]

Looks like a quick review seeing as both only showed content up to day 2 of either game

Just a quick review to give people that much needed info. Mark

[@psyraven76]

I'd already bought these last night, but good to hear the ports are well done. One interesting point - I always struggled to finish the first game because of the 30-day limit, but they have included the rewind functionality from the later games in this, which I don't remember being there in the original Gamecube version. So if you cock up and waste a day, you can always rewind and have another go at that day. I have a feeling that will save me a few times! 😅

[@InkyMuste]

I think it's in the original too. You don't have to save after a mission and there's an option to return to the latest save (which usually for me was the day before)

Unfortunately most of the real world brands were removed from Pikmin 2. It’s a shame since they added a lot to the game’s world and made it feel like humans inhabited it at one point.

I just need to say, that I absolutly love the day limit in pikmin 1. It makes every mistake actually matter, on the following games, u could just make mistake after mistake, and you would always have more days to fix your mistakes, but on pikmin 1, if u messed up and couldn't find a part that day, than you are screwed, u need to somehow make it up in another day and find 2 parts, wich is really hard.

[@TheAlibabatree]

Games art were designed with their native resolutions in mind. Which is why they often look worse when upscaled.

[@bubblepipemedia3414]

“Just simply an upscale” (it’s not scaling, right? It’s actually rendered at a higher resolution, not scaled) “Simply by having more polygons” (this seems to contradict the already inaccurate ‘just scaled’. My assumption here is they meant ‘more pixels’?) Could be wrong on both. But I left a bit confused as to what the heck is actually going on with this switch version.

[@TakumiJoyconBoyz]

Yeah, they definitely flubbed their words on those. Makes sense though because it looks like they cranked out the video pretty fast.

[@trent82]

It has been a bit since I played the first 2, but I thought the days were 15 minutes. Also, the time limit in the first game was only an issue the first time I played it. After that I could always play through the game in 25 days or less. I bet there are some hardcore people who can do it under 20.

[@Toomuchmetal12]

I dont even think it's the time limit that's bad. The time limit gives a sense of urgency in the levels and makes you want to replay it faster and faster, it naturally makes players want to speedrun and perfect strategy. What REALLY sucks is that in pikmin 1 if a pikmin enters a monsters mouth they're dead no matter what because even if HP of the monster hits 0 they'll finish the animation and then die. (there are some exceptions like the dwarf bulborb)

Thank you for the review! Very helpful. I do want to mention, however, that in the audio section you say that the audio sounds fine and that the music is just as good as ever - but then when the in-game audio from Pikmin 1 played immediately following that statement, there was noticeable distortion in the music. After looking into it a bit, it seems to be a common complaint, that the music in Pikmin 1 seems distorted and out-of-tune compared to the GameCube and Wii versions.

Not really sure what you guys mean when you talk about the 30 day timer being a negative, even back upon release? I was 8 years old when Pikmin came out, and even by then I had realized that a game is what the game is, not everything has to be "at your own pace". If you don't like the time limit, that's a you problem, it doesn't detract from the game. Consider that perhaps, Pikmin 1 just isn't a game that you enjoy.

[@TheAlibabatree]

Agreed. Gamers have gotten into this weird idea that every game should look, and control, and be exactly the same. Its like when people say the controls in the original Re4 are bad. They’re not bad. They’re just different.

[@eldartaghiyev8422]

You forgot to say the Nintendo Switch version of Pikmin 2 remove all real life brands (except i think Nintendo brands) for most likey to not get suit of copyright ©️. So like the battery at start of the game is now a Electric super battery power battery than a duracell d battery for PAL 🇪🇺 and USA 🇺🇸 or hi top for Japan 🇯🇵.

Very helpful review! I played Pikmin 2 on the Wii, and wanted to know how it compares to the switch version. You answered all my questions, thanks!!! 🎉

[@nathanbraun2067]

these games look just as good as I remember. they look amazing in hd

[@adamkahmann2937]

Biggest thing I want to know... In Pikmin 1 can you switch Pikmin types via the D-Pad while holding them? Or do you still have to dismiss them?

[@wqb_amidi]

I'd like to know as well, though I highly doubt it

[@honkman29]

Ive never been able to play any of them apart from pikmin 3,but ive watched tons of lets plays on them so im so happy i bought pikmin 2,and im currently enjoying it so far!

The pointer controls are definitely worse and more restrictive than the Wii versions (and both versions of Pikmin 3 as well). Only being able to move the pointer when holding down buttons is a real drag. Same with Pikmin 4. Hope they add in an option to change it.

I hope so too, I had to cancel my pre-order for Pikmin 4 because I couldn't get used to the new motion controls

[@manuxx3543]

The change in treasure is because of PAL vs JP vs US version They had different treasures Wonder if they are all differents

This is great, but it really does feel like these games were made for CRTs, I do not know why companies don 't offer filters or shaders to optionally use with these ported classics

Glenn says it’s rare for a sequel to improve on its predecessor? That seems like something that is true all the time in games. It’s not true in movies very often, but it’s definitely true in games.

Really wish they had pikmin 3 Connells

I played the first two games and loved them the first round of the games but I love they released them again on switch!!

I miss the old days when I used to play these games on the wii. Awesome games!
