Pikmin 2 (Switch) - All Treasure Hoard and Piklopedia Changes

[@Bobb11881]

Ok, I can forgive the rebranding of the batteries, but taking away the weed is too far!

[@bubbles46853-ep9if]

Honestly, I love how the batteries look.

not the pikmin weed 💀

What’s really interesting about the product placement changes is that Nintendo had the licenses for a very long time. It was as late as mid-2017 when the NPC! port of Pikmin 2 had been rereleased on the Wii U eShop with no alterations whatsoever, up until the eShop’s closure in 2023. It makes me wonder if these changes were a preemptive or creative decision, like if they were worried that the products would be dated in the future or if referencing non-Nintendo products wasn’t a practice that set well with the leading creatives.

[@LennyQUMFIF]

the Wii Version of Pikmin 2 was released in 2012, and the one on the Wii U as you said, 2017, and the Switch Version was released in 2024, so it seems that Contract only lasted 10 Years (2012-2022) concidering how it was still on Wii U but not Switch.

While I understand the removal of brands, likely because they didn't want to get permission again or something, the name changes confuse me. I know Wollyhop (It's Wollywog and you can't stop me) was a Pikmin 3 change, and I can understand Caustic being changed since it isn't really a water related term like Anode. But your telling me we can't have pickles.

[@NintendoProductions]

Unfortunately it was changed due to it being a British slur

[@philltheotherguy1868]

The remake was done by the European localization team, which explains wollyhop

[@drcgad3052]

@@philltheotherguy1868 the change to Wollyhop seems to have carried over into pikmin 4

[@CorynSilver]

I forgot how many name brand items there were in Pikmin 2, so may i recognize from my daily life

[@stagelights_]

they removed the pickles, cant have shit on pnf-404

[@spudlad08]

Kinda funny that they changed some from being a brand to being generic

[@sacredeight]

Fun fact: the remastered version of the hypnotic platter says "19th anniversary", and this remaster was released 19 years after the original pikmin 2.

Video games are better when they have real products in the game but not in a way that it’s forced .

[@rubenakaskrubby8676]

While I can understand the wollywog name change now even tho I had no idea it was a term. I find it weird they went to the effort to downgrade the pikmin 3 logo but not rename the wollywogs since the name wolpoles is used in pikmin 4

[@teaoftraffic]

TL;DR Wog is an offensive word in Britain.

[@vitral2853]

did they really change all the brand names to generic? crazy

Why did they change gemstar husband/ wife?

[@fridaykitty]

my guess is to be more inclusive to non-hetero couples

[@trash_lol]

the husband’s tears series was also changed to the expensive sentiments series

[@dillonkinder9296]

I love how you can find those real world brand products that sucks they change them just like in Death Stranding the PS5 version they change Monster energy drinks I mean I understand why but it sucks

Fuck it I'm pirating, I just got the game on the switch to hear tokatas easter egg for half an hour like a dumbass. Also no weed

[@LennyQUMFIF]

Y'know, there's a Mod for the Switch Version that actually restores all these Brands. Works on the latest Game Version too

wokeness has officially crossed the line;...

[@PinetatoRaptor]

What wokeness? These are literally just changing them to generic stuff

[@Ausar0]

​@@PinetatoRaptor Except for Gemstar Husband/Wife.

[@PinetatoRaptor]

@@Ausar0 okay? And?

[@Ausar0]

@@PinetatoRaptor literally zero reason to change those unless you think husband/wife is somehow offensive. They appear to be the only treasures that had a name change.

@@Ausar0 it’s dumb, sure, but I’m not sure how it’s “woke”
