Miyamoto has clearly changed the style this way himself, what with all the shorts and whatnot. You can hate how it looks, but pikmin is one of the few franchises at nintendo that actually still has a passionate person in charge of it.

Why would anyone care about Pikmin canon?

im well aware but that still doesnt change my opinion on it. shiggy miggy outwardly talks about how he makes changes specifically to make the game more popular. and wholesome mass appeal is part of that, as well as completely abandoning a plotline that people have been eagerly following for decades, as well as watering the game down so it doesnt scare away people who think they must get 100% S RANKS ON EVERYTHING on their first playthrough (i.e. linear level design that you have to wholly complete one at a time, auto lock on, the motherfucking dog)
not to mention how he absolutely butchered the curiosity aspect. instead of subtle worldbuilding that reaches about as far as your curiosity takes you, its an episodic mess where there are clearly many mysteries they care about less than others. half the unexplained shit in this game is answered with "lol it just like that dont think about it. waterwraith's just here for nostalgiabait and sometimes there are magical caves where beasts and pikmin poof into existance. but i PROMISE the plotline that explains the origins of your fuckass dog that has never existed until now is SUPER interesting and TOTALLY relevant to PNF-404. PLEASE focus ALL of your attention there and NEVER diverge from your SET PATH" (which also reflects in gameplay i.e. 3 type limit with level design made specifically for that exact combination of 30 of each type and doesnt work otherwise)

im glad miyamoto is so passionate but hes kind of passionate in the way a dog breeder is passionate about making the most cute looking dog possible even if they can barely breathe

Why not? The setting and world building is a good 30% of what makes the games interesting
The games wouldn't be nearly as beloved if the characters and world were boring

When an IP that started off as a fight for survival in nature transformed into messing with an Illumination baby's toys, then yeah, people are going to notice.

The franchise started and was defined on the Gamecube, the edgy child that Nintendo disowned for not being able to compete with the other kids while its preppy younger sibling stomped the market.
Any franchise that was affected by the early 2000s edge has had said edge forcibly purged even if it was a meaningful part of its personality.

Miyamoto is a part of nintendo, yeah. They butchered it regardless. Eclectic substituted for homogenous neonintendoisms.

actually that's from pikmin 2, you can tell because he doesn't have to throw any bomb rocks into his mouth

They didn't, until 4 came along and not only rebooted the story, but also made the human environments much more squeaky clean

i liked the entire original trilogy and even hey! pikmin since it knew its place as a noncanon spinoff and even THAT had a pretty interesting cast of creatures and worldbuilding that i honestly would not have minded half as much if it were partially canonized. i dunno whats up with so many people here who just scroll and make half baked reactions, slow down.

>>723953482
god i love these figures. i wish i was able to get them when they were being sold and dont cost like 500 dollars

>>723952567
for example, pikmin 3 had a completely new cast of characters, and 2 pikmin types were mysteriously absent, but there were many things that could have explained that, and the original captains were still present, had an important place in the story, and didnt fiddle too much with what was going on beforehand. it was an addition to the ongoing story, not a rewrite, and not completely 100% faithful either, which is a pretty good balance.

in pikmin 4, however, every single plotline from any of the previous games has been scrapped or severely changed, and a large chunk of the worldbuilding was removed or just flat out ignored too, and the writing doesnt even make up for it either because they never elaborate or explore the implications of all the new things they bring up i.e. rock pikmin actually parasitized rocks!
>Parasitized
>Rock
>Inanimate object
>Can reproduce without a host anyways
>feels like its there entirely just to nod to bulbmin
>doesnt elaborate
>??????

i sincerely cant run out of things to say about this its kind of embarrassing especially considering the amount of consoomers out there who will say "why you complaining so much lol its a good game (beats it once and never picks it up again)"

>>723953860
i actually kinda enjoyed LM3 and even go back to it every now and then but i also havent really thoroughly played the first one, what are the differences like outside of the obvious slime clone and extra tools and ghost whipping

By virtue of being the currently presented iteration of the IP, it pollutes the cultural conception and makes engaging with said franchise worse off.
Its like how you can stay in a NEET hole replaying the same games over and over till your spiritually dead inside, but the moment one pops their head out whether that be sheer boredom or decay has forced their hand they will have to content with the world outside one's door.

In other words Pikmin 4 is a reboot that refused to drop its sequel status and now tis everyone's problem.

This thread was made by Eric. He's a snoy and massive OoT fanboy that's been spamming /v/ with anti-Nintendo pedaling for a good decade, he's a weekly villain in Famitsu threads and he reports them over and over for calling him out or for spreading facts he thinks needs to be hidden from /v/ (namely sales of Nintendo hardware and software compared to PlayStation and Steam Deck).

If you see posts saying GameCube games are better than Switch games, it's Eric. If you see posts saying Palworld is better than Pokémon, it's Eric. If you see the same anti-Nintendo threads popping up over and over, it's Eric. If you see the same posts shilling piracy and emulators, it's Eric. If you see someone denying the existence of Eric and calling him a made-up boogeyman, it's Eric. If you see someone unironically using terms like "tendies" or "Switchfags" and making hyperbolic statements, it's Eric. If you see a red OP image with a Nintendo-related thing, asking some dumb open question, it's Eric. If you see the same repeated lines over and over again, it's Eric samefagging. If you see a massive wall of replies to one post, it's Eric samefagging himself, they'll all be a minute apart. He's always resetting his router and ban evading, and flooding the catalog, and he's got at least a few gigabytes of CP to end any thread that isn't going his way.

He's also a massive GameCube fanboy that was so buckbroken by BotW's commercial and critical success that he's determined to make it the most despised game in history, he wants to change the narrative and erase the perceived damage against him.

Pikmin 4 made us wait a decade, just for it to completely retcon the story for newcomers normalfags who don't want to put the effort into playing the older games
