@-wc- in my scenario it’ll help me get a feel for the level. Instead of starting the day over and over, I can rewind and get through the day. Then I can start the day over to try and achieve no Pikmin loss.
There’s been so many times where I find a group of enemies where I lost Pikmin. I would start the whole day over and repeat till I got past that group only to later on in the day lose Pikmin. I like this new feature even if there will be an asterisk. I can learn my path for the day better. Can’t wait for this game.
Love seeing some of the quality of life improvements for this game. I used to get upset when I was trying not to lose any Pikmin. I’d get close to the end of day and then lose one or two. I’d have to start all over. The rewind mechanic I can see being used quite a bit. Also love seeing the Pikmin being able to ride on the back of Oatchi. It will make it easier to keep track of all my Pikmin.
I’m so excited for this game. Watching more of the footage and reading more articles on hands on is just getting my excited for this game. Nintendo is going above my expectations for this release.
In the US, I usually buy my games at Target. If you use the red card, you save 5 percent. Might not be much, but it’s the cheapest option I’ve found for buying games unless they are on sale somewhere else. But when everybody is full price, using the red card is my cheapest option.
Typically I wait till games go on sale but I’ll be getting this day 1. Love the Pikmin series. Thrilled they are also releasing the first two for Switch!
It feels like Christmas morning!!! So much Pikmin for me. I’ll be busy when the physical release comes out if I can hold out that long. I’m so tempted to get the digital now!
I’m not into online games but this was a blast to play. Love this game. Sad that the license is expiring for them to continue to sell but looking forward to their next game.
Character creator is fine, but I honestly didn’t need to see even the last trailer. I would buy the next Pikmin game unseen. Just love the series. Can’t wait for this one!
I’d like to see this come to Switch. These are great games and the more systems it’s on, the more people will get to play them. The only thing I can think of that might hold the Switch from getting this is because what might follow “volume 1.” I don’t know what would be on future volume(s) but maybe it’s something the current Switch can’t handle? Konami might look at that and decide if it can’t run all the volumes, then it gets none of them. Either way, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this to come to the Switch.
Sony is grading themselves. If I had to grade myself, I’d get an “A” too.
Looking at this with a non-biased view, PlayStation as a brand would be bigger than Xbox. I love my Xbox and it’s my console of choice but I can clearly see where Xbox falls behind PlayStation when it comes to brand momentum, but I don’t think PlayStation is higher than Nintendo. This is just my observation, but looking at things like sales, longevity, games/consoles trending, recognizable characters/IPs… Nintendo would have the higher brand momentum. No dis to PlayStation, but I think their chart is a bit off in their favor.
Even if nothing new is announced to come out this year, I’m excited for the new Zelda and Pikmin games. That’s enough for me as I’m still behind in the games I own.
@DogDetective that is incredible! I never heard of that site. I already started looking around at other games to see the time it takes to beat them. Thank you so much!
Anybody have an idea how long these roughly take to beat? I’ve never played a Final Fantasy game before, but was considering playing these older games.
I am so looking forward to Pikmin 4. The prices in the US are pretty much the same (I’m not including play Asia as I’ve never ordered through them.) I’m ordering mine through Target. With the redcard I’m getting free shipping and saving 5 percent. It’s the cheapest I could find here.
Lots of mixed opinions on here. I for one and excited for this game. This was only an example of some of the things to do in the game. There’s a lot more to see and do. I’m sure they’ll be showing off more soon.
I’d rather he just ate them lol. They mentioned him teleporting them is less jarring, but what about when he spits them out at an enemy like a weapon? That’s okay but he can’t eat them?
@theModestMouse FF2 is the fan favorite of the series. You can definitely start with that one. There is a connection between the first and the second but it’s minor. The games stand strong on their own. I would suggest both 1&2 before playing 3. 4 can be played at anytime. 5 has a connection with 1 but probably could be played as a stand-alone as well.
@Keyblade-Dan there’s a PZ/FF forum on Pure Xbox if you’d like to join the chat. Just a group of us that love the series and give our thoughts and impressions on the games.
@Keyblade-Dan of course I’d love an updated visual/FPS boost, but I’m okay with even how they originally were. The second game is my favorite closely followed by the original. The stories, rituals, characters, locations, level design… were all so carefully crafted and rich. I can just get lost in all that as the games were intertwined but still stand so strong on their own. They don’t make games like that anymore and I want to experience it all over again.
@Keyblade-Dan yes I have to pull out the Xbox for the first two games and the third one on the PS2. Would be nice to have them all on current consoles. I don’t care if they didn’t do anything extra. Just ported them over. I would be so thrilled.
My hope is they release the three of them together. They were working backwards with V and then IV, so many of us would expect III to be next, but that one is closer tied to the first two games. If they are going to rerelease them one at a time, I would think it would be the original next.
Interesting interview. Though they dodged the question of the older titles in the series, I hope they remaster or port those over as well. I have my deluxe version preordered and I’m super excited. This is my most anticipated game of the year. Looking forward to others as well but I thought I’d never get to play this one. Can’t wait!
For those that live in the US, Target has most of the same games for the same price. If you pay with their red card, you save an extra 5 percent. I know it’s not much, but it does help. Especially the more you buy.
Wow out of all games to make a movie off of, I wasn’t expecting Tetris. I mean I think most of us have played it, I just couldn’t see a movie for it, but this looks good.
I loved my GameCube and had a good amount of games for it, but for some reason I never bought the Metroid Prime games. So I’ll be picking this up when the physical copy comes out.
Well I’m going to have to replay BOTW again. I didn’t remember most of these questions. I gave up halfway through as I only had two right at that moment lol.
I’m surprised by all the comments here about not liking Toon Link or Wind Waker. I absolutely loved the game. First impressions for me weren’t good but the game melted my cold heart and won me over. I’ll take more Zelda games anyway they come.
I am more excited for this game than any other releasing next year. I never had the chance to play Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. I’m hoping they continue to keep remastering the series as the first two are my favorites in the series but I’m super excited for the new experience of this game.
I’m glad Switch players can finally get to experience this game. It’s an incredible game but I do wish it wasn’t cloud. Though technology is vastly improving, I don’t think cloud is quite there yet. Glad to see it’s getting there though with this review.

Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series Launches On Switch Later This Month
@Ralizah I’ll keep that in mind if it get this. I’ll probably start with the first one though. I’m pretty forgiving with games, especially older ones.
Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series Launches On Switch Later This Month
I might give this a go. I’ve been gaming for a long time and I never tried a single Final Fantasy game. Maybe now is the time.

Re: Japanese Charts: Fatal Frame: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse Sells Well In A Strong Week For Switch
Very glad to see Fatal Frame/Project Zero selling well. Hopefully they continue to bring out more games.
The Switch itself seems to be a beast. Just keeps selling. Nintendo really hit the jackpot with this system.
