Pikmin 4: New Gameplay Video Unveils Upcoming Features

Exciting news for all Pikmin fans! We’re just one month away from the highly anticipated release of Pikmin 4, and Nintendo recently gave us a sneak peek during their June 21st Nintendo Direct with a brand-new gameplay video showcasing some amazing features. In this latest adventure, Captain Olimar isn’t the hero you’ll be following; instead, he’s crashed on an uncharted planet and needs help getting back home. Unfortunately for him, his rescue team has also encountered misfortune by crash-landing nearby. So it’s up to them, along with our new four-legged friend Otchin, to repair their space shuttle and get everyone off the planet safely.As always in the Pikmin world, each type of Pikmin will play a specific role based on its color, but this time around, they have an invaluable ally: Otchin! This loyal and sizable dog can carry heavy objects with ease, smash through obstacles, and even serve as a makeshift boat to navigate water hazards. With Otchin’s help, you’ll be able to retrieve crucial parts of the spaceship scattered across treacherous terrains while navigating around deadly dangers lurking in every corner. Get ready for an exhilarating adventure filled with teamwork and strategy!

To shake things up and introduce some exciting new gameplay elements, Pikmin 4 will feature “Dandori Duel” challenges! These two-player competitions are all about seeing who can gather the most objects within a time limit—get ready for some friendly rivalry and lots of fun! And here’s more great news: while you’re counting down to Pikmin 4’s official release on July 21st, you won’t have to wait too long before diving into the action. A demo will hit the Nintendo eShop starting June 29th, giving eager players a taste of what’s to come.
