נינטנדו שלחה סקר מעריצים מתגרה, המפרט את הפיקמין 4 המיוחל.

בו, נינטנדו מבקשת מהמשיבים לדרג את הידע שלהם על סדרת פיקמין עד כה (חזק למדי), their impressions of Pikmin 4’s recent marketing (it’s been OK), and what they’d be keen to hear more about as its 21st July release date nears.

This last part is most interesting to me, as it touches on a few features Nintendo has only hinted at so far. This includes “delving into puzzle-filled caves, and carefully managing your resources until you escape” plus “embarking on night-time missions that feature new and intense gameplay”.

מערות! לַיְלָה! כלב פיקמין! לפיקמין 4 יש את כולם.

הוצגו מערות briefly in Pikmin 4’s latest trailer, למרות שלא היה ברור כמה הם עשויים להופיע. Pikmin 2 השתמש בהם רבות, ונראה שהמכונאי של להיכנס עם מספר מוגדר של Pikmin ולנסות לזהות שהצד השני חזר.

Even more intriguing is the mention of “night-time missions”, which seem likely to feature the red-eyed bulborb enemy also seen in the game’s recent trailer. As a reminder, the Pikmin series has always forced you to leave the planet’s surface each evening as monsters descend. I’m keen to find out what different kinds of gameplay await after night falls.

Other new features listed are more expected, such as “exploring a brand new set of environments”, “utilising the new Ice Pikmin to freeze enemies or create frozen paths on top of water”, “encountering brand new enemies”, “following a brand new Pikmin story and meeting new characters” and finally “teaming up with your Space Dog companion, Oatchi, who can help with a variety of tasks”.

Nintendo’s garden strategy series has always been something of a cult hit, not gaining the attention of the Mario, Zelda and Animal Crossing titles released over the years. It’s also always been released initially on the Nintendo hardware generations that have done less well (GameCube, Wii U). But with the Switch’s enormous install base ready for Pikmin 4… who knows? I’m keen to run away from some evil bulborbs, anyway.
