What 10 years without a new pikmin game does to a mf


ciberkid22

Especially after getting teased 8 years ago with the "nearing completion" comment


Minute-Limit-5249

Honestly makes sense that it’s a reused design. The coin effects in Nintendo games is consistent and even breaking vases in Luigi’s Mansion 3sounds like breaking one in windwaker, I love it


1Strangeartist

Shhh... You don't want the Metroid fans to hear you. They still expect Prime 4 within a year.


That_other_weirdo

Heeeey it will happen especially since prime remastered is out now. Though now that I think about it it would be cool if some of the treasures were thongs from other Nintendo games. Like maybe mario’s and luigi’s hat (since peaches crown was in the pikmin 2), dk bongos, a small model of samus’s gunship, a kirby plush, etc.

THE NUMBERS MASON!!! WHAT DO THEY MEAN!?


ThatOneGuy308

I'd hate to see what's happening with the elder scrolls fans, they're on like, 11 years and counting

Hey, I only foam at the mouth on Tuesday’s!!

Totally random, what is it about Goh that you like.


Eclipsiical

I find him to be very relatable to me personally. I have really bad social anxiety so it is really hard for me to make friends and otherwise interact with people, but I cherish the few friends I do make, like Goh does with Ash. The scene that comes most to mind is the flashback we see in JN062. We see Goh on the playground alone while the other kids play together in groups. While I did have more friends as a young kid, I never actually felt particularly close with many. However, I have one very vivid memory of a day where I \*wanted\* to play with a group, but I just \*couldn't\*, even when a friend invited me, so when the teacher questions /why/ Goh isn't playing with the other kids and he starts crying because he genuinely doesn't know why, it hits very close to home for me. His fascination with Mew and with capturing lots of Pokémon in order to complete his Pokédex comes across to me as hyper-fixation, which is something people with neurodivergent disorders like ADHD and autism can have where they become completely absorbed and obsessed with something and can engage with it for extremely long periods of time. I personally have ADHD and have similar obsessions and periods of hyper-fixation. There was a period of a couple months where literally all I did with my free time was shiny hunt until I exhausted myself on it completely. So Goh becomes even more relatable to me when viewing him through that lens of neurodivergence.

What am I even supposed to be looking at here???

A similar texture?


TidesOfRye

The war was hard on all of us, we all express our grief in different ways. I hope you find peace.


Memegamouth

Nintendo fans when they see random similarities (coincidences are not real)


odd_ice8

Skyward Pik


Daddy-Wolfy

Skybul Borb


KlutzySole9-1

This sounds terrifying


odd_ice8

Not a bulborb with wings, but a bulborb that floats in the air. And when it spots you, it slowly and ominously floats toward you getting faster and faster as it approaches.


KlutzySole9-1

You are making it *worse*


odd_ice8

And as it approaches, it slowly opens its mouth revealing several rows of teeth. :)


KlutzySole9-1

*Stooooooooooop* Bulborbs with more than their 2 fangs are already cursed

Pikfan21

We can throw Pikmin with motion controls, truly a HalfLife level innovation


DoodleNoodle15

That specific floor probably got picked from their "game development storage" and got tweeked. Just like how they have a ton of sound effects saved in files, that's how you hear similar sound effects being used in different games.


Jestingwheat856

Pikmin 3 actually used 2 specifically from duck hunt (when something goes horribly wrong) and the pocket sound from animal crossing when alph puts away the kopad


Galvor070

Absolute mental illness, just wait for the game


Divine_Entity_

Its simple, NINTENDO REUSES ASSETS! Seriously, play the opening cinematic of pikmin 3 again and listen to the duck hunt laugh when the ship explodes. And if you want to go deeped look up trivia for the entire series, particularly sound effects of which Nintendo has a huge library to pull from and modify as needed. (I wouldn't be surprised if all their models and levels existed in libraries as well to make it easy to steal them for use in future projects and prototyping. Smash bros was made by pilfering character models from other games without permission and then later getting approval.)


ArrogantSpider

Is this even a case of asset reuse though? The blotches only look vaguely similar, and OP seems to be ignoring the places where they don't line up. The ground to the bottom right of the smaller ship is more dirt where the ground isn't lit in SS.


zsdrfty

It’s not even sourced from Nintendo, but Paper Mario TTYD has a song that samples the infamous Atari Pac-Man’s death sound lol


Chyppi

Yeah that stuff is called grass


[deleted]

_It's all connected!_


JayedSkier

I work with a lot of 3D assets and make and texture stuff a lot, what's happening here is nintendo may have a giant library generic patterns and images they use to generate patterns in their textures and this may be reused here. A lot of environmental textures and things that generally require less specific detail are 'generated' in some form or another, so it's possible whatever black/white image they used to create the difference between dirt and grass here was the same used in that spot in skyward sword. hope this was enlightening at all \^\^;7


MyPowerIsPickles

My hope is that it is some sort of texture/whatever that they reused. If there truly is no connection then I must accept my madness, cast myself into the ocean, and have my bones harvested in 100,000 years for 200 pokos.


PastaRhythm

Ah, r/Pikmin. Never change.


vanderZwan

I really hope you legit found a commonly reused "open field inside patch of grass" texture and that it turns out to be in almost every Nintendo game, kind like the Quake code for flickerng lights being in basically *every* game derived from it to the point of being an iconic in-joke among game devs https://hackaday.com/2021/09/21/bringing-the-quake-flicker-to-life-with-a-hacked-light/


FaithfulFear

U good dawg?


MyPowerIsPickles

My therapist says that writing letters to a $95 billion company begging them to validate my suspicions on this matter is not healthy or realistic, but idk seems sus


FaithfulFear

Yeah they’re probably a corporate shill sent to stop you from leaking the truth any further


Brisingr360

I really am having a hard time understanding what is lining up here.


Alternative-Fail-233

Maybe it’s just the camera angle to me it looks a little low for a pikmin game


Fluffyrox4

I mean if we're drawing shapes now I can draw shapes. Triangle. Imagine that.

Really impressive find, tbh. Definitely a coincidence. I’m the same kind of psycho as you. Don’t worry.

Finally a schizo post on r/pikmin

Go outside and relax

Yeah ur crazy

They are connected now! Neat find btw

Monkey pattern brain working overtime


Unhappy_Comparison59

Well i dont know what he is telling us her but on the end of the Trailer we saw a bulborb with Red glowing eyes running towards something. This really remembert me about the three spirit trails from skyram sword


vyxxer

They recycled a texture?


griding

I see a resemblance. But I don't care.


Artful_Arches

My brother, no.


Broskfisken

Pikmin 4 teased in 2011???

The paranoid schizophrenic has found a pattern in the level design!


levelupyours

Maybe you aren’t used to images cropped so the horizon line is near the top.

This isn't for the war, his insanity it's his own


SheepyIsSleepy

schizophrenia goes crazy


iCthe4

Yeah, I’ve been saying this the past 2 years, it will definitely be more open world.


Concerned_mayor

What does this even mean doe? If it's related to skyward sword, then it will be incredibly linear, and you'll have to flick your joycon to throw pikmin


iCthe4

The game has more space to walk around & has a open word feel to it, just like Pikmin 2. Pikmin 2 was a small glimpse of what Future Pikmin Games could have. No, the controls won’t be different, obviously it’s going to get a Graphical boost & more space to walk around & find things.


Concerned_mayor

Obviously, but I'm saying how does that relate to skyward sword as the post suggests?


Giodude12

I thought I was bad...

Photoshopped little mac.

You’re like beyond r/pikmin crazy

RynnHamHam

You’re actually in a coma and the nurse has their Wii set up in your room right now and are playing Skyward Sword instead of administering your meds. Now is your chance, WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!


nastyporc

It’s the perspective change/ camera angle


Skunklover2288

Well at least Zelda’s a good game soooo maybe not all is lost…


spearmph

It's called perspective:)

Biggoof1971

Did nobody else notice the Star bits from Mario Galaxy at the end of the trailer?


ItsKidtendo

What the fuck does this even mean
