In terms of sales it has never troubled the likes ofSplatoonorLuigi’s Mansion, let alone Mario or Zelda.
Perhaps it’s bad luck?
Until now, Nintendo has unfortunately always planned new Pikmin entries for its hardware generations that underperformed.
Pikmin 4’s all-new Ice Pikmin are also introduced early on, and are a smart addition.
They can also combine together into a giant orb for a powerful charged attack.
It may start slow, but when it all comes together, it really does sing.
It’s a skillful evolution of a series which has been left feeling a little overlooked for too long.
Is this Pikmin’s true breakthrough moment?
But without a doubt it’s one of Nintendo’s best games in years.
