Yes, I do. It will likely turn out that an EPD department is working on it, so Nintendo is wasting top resources on a series where the best-selling title has achieved just a bit over two million. Just about everything else, they outsource to another developer, including IPs that sell much better than Pikmin. Worse, Pikmin 4 now got positioned as the big new announcement of a 2023 Nintendo game. Nintendo should have had at least something else in addition to it, because this announcement doesn't put the outlook for 2023 anywhere close to on the same level as what we knew about 2022 a year ago. Business aside, the Pikmin formula has grown stale. Light strategy combined with environment puzzles doesn't bring anything exciting to the table after three games and the sneak peek we got at Pikmin 4 reinforces what was clear all along: This is a redundant game in the making. |
I'm not really into Pikmin myself but I think you're laying it on a bit to thick there.
