I get so confused when Arlo talks about having to play the demo again and again (why doesn't he play the full game, its been out for almost two weeks) before remembering that this has probably been recorded a while ago, likely before the 30th.

Whispernyan yes but it’s 2 weeks after so it’s a pretty long time

My guess is he couldn't get this video produced and uploaded in time, so it got put off for a couple of weeks. It still makes perfect sense, though. The full game doesn't invalidate anything he says.

[@Lanosrep]

This shows why Nintendo needs to bring back the main directs, when things are just dropped as Yotube trailers, they're easily forgotten. But we all have vivid memories of BOTW 2 being announced from the direct. Hell, I was following this game's news buildup, and even I forgot it came out

Hello Arlo, This is Shigeru Miyamoto, president of Nintendo. I would like to thank you for your interest in the Pikmin series. It means the world to me. To clarify, yes I played Hotel Transylvania 3: Dracula's Revenge and I loved every minute of it. I like the part where Dracula says "Blah blah blah". I found some ideas that I would like to incorporate into our latest entry Pikmin 4. I am very glad for you to have noticed. Your love and passion for Pikmin has been greatly appreciated. Take care, Shigeru Miyamoto

Far more likely that they took inspiration from Overlord, in fact much of the stuff in Hotel Transylvania seems more like Overlord than it does Pikmin.

[@lasercraft32]

Hmmm.... now that the Pikmin 4 demo is out and we've seen some of the new mechanics, it seems the Pikmin devs _did_ have a few of the same ideas as the Hotel Transylvania game... mainly increasing your total troop count using collectible items, and the base camps scattered throughout the map.

[@andrewhamel1]

I can expect we'll see an Arlo video following this up with these topics, but here's some things from this video we literally see in Pikmin 4 / the demo (Arlo is a genius): > Multiple Impa Portals -> The ability to move your base > Pikmin could use more in the way of missions / quests -> the different castaways can provide new quests and missions > Slowly increase your max units -> Flarlic > Really good graphics (okay that last one is a joke monsters overboard looks really rough LOL)

That mechanic of choosing the location of your base would be perfect for an open-world pikmin game. Each time you defeat a boss, you're left with a large, round open area with nothing in it. So it's perfect for becoming a new base, so beating a boss is like unlocking a checkpoint.

As someone who's just beaten the main campaign in Pikmin 3 Deluxe and only played Pikmin on the GameCube, this felt like natural progression. We traded in swarming for good camera controls, the map button being a face button to the map button being a menu button, and finagling with the iffy cursor for enemy lock-ons. The shoulder buttons, no longer occupied with not-so-great camera controls, became more useful, being able to sort out Pikmin and lock on to enemies.
