If they do make a Pikmin 4, which I hope they do, here's hoping they re-up somethings in the franchise that they never should have taken away in 3:

1. Treasure hunting. Finding fruit is a nice plot/game device, but not being able to still find random trinkets, one of THE coolest things about Pikmin, was fuckin' dumb and disappointing.

2. Let me zoom in/out the goddamn camera again. Being stuck in ONE fucking camera zoom the entire game, made playing it more of a chore sometimes than it should have been.

3. BRING BACK FUCKING C-STICK STYLE SWARMING. That was such a huge part of the gameplay in 1 & 2. Taking it out in 3 made absolutely zero sense at all, and again, made the game more needlessly frustrating to play at many points in the game, especially boss battles, where moving the mass of Pikmin with your other stick was VITAL.

4. More than one fucking save file. Seriously, dating back to the NES with multiple save file games...that was just dumb.

5. Bring back Olimar. The new characters were neat for one game. But let's get the hero of the show back.


I liked Pikmin 3 to a point. But after waiting years eagerly for it to finally come out, I couldn't help being really let down by it. It honestly seemed as if the development team hadn't even played the first two games at times. So if they DO ever make a 4, here's hoping they get it right again.
