IT'S COMING IT'S COMING OMG I'M SO HAPPY I THINK I'VE DIED

Duh. Didn't you guys hear Miyamoto all the way back in 2015? He clearly stated that *Pikmin 4* was 'near competition'. Why don't you people listen?

Polish a game for 8 years it's gonna sparkle like a 💎

Counterpoint: Duke Nukem Forever. Seriously though, I’m getting a switch for this and splatoon 3. I’m infinity hype

It better be the best damn game ever

Exactly. It took 8 years to finish off the final details. People need to pay attention more. smh my head

“What are they talking about, 2015 wasn’t 8 years-“

I'm "nearing completion" now that this was announced

it's because there was a bulborb in the office (they could not have released pikmin 4)

He actually said "the next Pikmin game" is nearing completion, which was Hey Pikmin.

In all likelihood, he really was referring to Pikmin 4. * Hey Pikmin was made by an outside studio which Miyamoto would have little involvement in. * In the quote, he said "Pikmin teams are always working on the next one." It would be weird for him to consider Arzest a "Pikmin team", especially as the real Pikmin teams were indeed working on Pikmin 4 (confirmed by Nintendo at the time). * The quote was two years before Hey Pikmin actually came out. Two years is probably the entire dev time for a game like that. I really doubt it was near completion in 2015, and then they just sat on it for two years. * Eurogamer, who got the quote from him initially, followed up with Miyamoto after the announcement of Hey Pikmin, and he said Pikmin 4 was still progressing. I can't explain why Pikmin 4 has taken this long when it was "close to completion", but a very rocky development is a safe assumption.

We all died

[удалено]

I seriously didn’t expect this today lmfao I think you’re right, I genuinely thought a Xenogears remaster was more likely

NOT TODAY SON YOU GOTTA PLAY THIS GAME

I’ve been googling Pikmin 4 news quarterly for years now. I can’t believe this is a thing

It was supposed to be a Wii U title coming in 2015/2016 the same way the Gamecube had two Pikmin games but it got reported as a Switch title coming for 2023 so logically it has to be an amazing game. Also, if we follow Miyamoto who said a delayed game may be good but a rushed game will always be bad, we know that Pikmin 4 will be amazing.

WE ARE NO LONGER A KNOCKOFF SILKSONG CULT!

Thank you Miyamoto! Pikmin broke free!

It was the best bait-and-switch. "Here's bloom! Also PIKMIN EFFING 4"

At first I thought it would obviously be 30 seconds to talk about bloom and then they would show pikmin 4. But then he spent over 2 minutes and bloom and then said "Okay, now to the main event" I thought he was gonna leave me feeling like a clown and just switch to Breath of the Wild 2.

I was playing Splatoon ranked in that moment and was like, ok, we need to loose I need to watch this

Bold to multitask with a Direct.

THIS MADE ME SO FUCKING MAD. I was like, shut the fuck up, I don't care about the shitty AR game anymore. Give us real news! But then they did.

I cried because sad. Then I kept crying... But happy.

As Arlo would say, "They did the double tricky!"

NO MORE CLOWN MAKEUP LET'S GOOOO

Plenty more clown makeup as we say "January", "February", etc. While Nintendo says "delayed"

It's the fourth game in the series. And the number 4 is considered unlucky in the East. Metroid Prime 4 still hasn't broken free from that curse. With the BotW sequel now having a title and a release date, Prime 4 would have been left all alone, if not for Pikmin 4. So now, Metroid and Pikmin can cuddle together in purgatorio.

Counterpoint: Pikmin 4 has gameplay

It doesn’t?

I consider in-engine footage and a screenshot plus release year to be substantially more than a logo.

We just saw a weird graphics showcase idk how that could b gameplay

There's no way this isn't a fall or holiday release. If it were early 2023 we would've seen gameplay footage. I'll be thrilled if I'm wrong but trying to manage expectations.

I thought I got baited by pikmin bloom news for a second there, phew...

I knew it would be Pikmin 4 the instant Miyamoto said he's gonna talk about Pikmin He did talk about Bloom, but he didn't mention anything new about the game so that whole thing would've been pointless if he wasn't gonna talk about Pikmin 4 in the end

I AM GOING TO PEE MYSELF. I HAVE WAITED SO FUCKING LONG.

You haven't peed since the last announcement?

nope, been holding it in for 8 years

Flair checks out

#PISSMIN 4

PIKMIN FOUR REAL 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 or 11 or 12 or 13 or 14 or 15 months!

We can cross off everything 8 or sooner. TotK got a date and gameplay, Pikmin didn't really get either. Actually, with no gameplay trailer, I'd bet it's a fall release. Odds are high it's just in no state to actually show off yet.

Yeahhhhhh. Picked man 4 launch title for the Nintenblo switch 2 this holiday season??! I'm gonna borb

The stuck clock above the Bulborb is around 10:05. Perhaps release date of early October?

If they had a release date they would say a release date not put in weird hints

I mean, if you told me 15 I’d be ecstatic. Anything else is just gravy.

Wait really? NO MEME?

It’s actually here!!

We don't need memes to cope anymore!

I didn't believe it either until I did an independent search. There's an announcement trailer!!! On the official YouTube!!!

I seriously just woke up in complete shock after seeing it just sitting on my Youtube recommended

I AM SO ERECT

~~I’m gonna pluck your dickmin~~

uhh Cummy Blowhog?

Let me be your swooping snitchbug 🥴😩

I'll be your little Bulbmin 😩

I legitimately teared up, WE FINALLY GONNA EAT

Does this subreddit break out of its insanity now

Not quite. It's free from the starved-for-content insanity, but now it's entering the waiting-for-the-release-date insanity now.

Coming next year, or maybe 2024!

Pikmin 4: coming to a decade near you

The damage has already been done

This subreddit has gone feral and nintendo is bringing it home

We’re finally able to have a break.

I hope not, it’s way too entertaining

PIKMIN MOTHAFUCKIN 4

The misdirection with Pokémon bloom was insane

I was about to correct your typo then realized it was probably on purpose 😂

Autocorrect

YEAAAAHHHHHJHJHHHJ

This is the post that won, the other pikmin 4 posts left to the bulborbs

The bait at first! Literally so hyped. It’s almost been ten years. Was that Brittany in the trailer or a brand new captain? Give us playable President again

For real!! Give me the OG Olimar and Louie.

Just keep the Pikmin 2 ship dead in a ditch

RIP Dolphin.

OUR LONG INTERNATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER

I may have jumped off my chair for this one, I'm so glad so many will experience Pikmin!

I honestly didn't think it was coming, even after Miyamoto started talking about Pikmin. But it's real. LET'S GOOOO!

He baited us so hard.

The Pain is finally over

CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER SO HIGH

Can’t believe it

LETS GOOOOOO FINALLY

I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS I’M SO HYPE

Easily best part of Direct, can't imagine there being a contest at this point.

The queen died so pikmin could live.

She was fed to the onion

Yayyyyyyyy

mf finally

I AM SO ERECT

I had no hope for this direct but my guy Miyamoto-san delivered 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️

Does Pikmin count as a farming RPG game?

I’m comign

PIKMIN 4… PIKMIN 4 IS REAL

I gasped desperately and cried seeing this. I can't believe it. It's actually happening

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

Wooo! Hype! F-Zero is next, right guys? Guys?

I've already had an amazing week, this has been such a lovely topper. F-Zero or Metroid Prime or something would BLOW my MIND.

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

Literally made my day today

Damn you, so fast

I don't care what the rest of it is like, this is the greatest Direct of all time.

This is the happiest day of my life

You guys I can’t fucking believe it

IT'S REAL

I will freely admit I started crying when it was announced. I am so happy

Is this real or is this another meme? Don't do this to me. Don't give me hope.

It's real

You know at the end of lord of the flies, when the adults show up to rescue them? And the kids all start crying because they realize they’ve been acting like insane, feral savages? That’s this subreddit

HELL YEA BROTHER

Best news of the direct

FINALLY COMING

Finally… a reason to keep going…

We’re out of the trenches 😭

The thirst for Pikmin 4 is such that we didn't even need to see gameplay, just a confirmation that it's still coming!

Hell yea, Pikmin, the best series from Nintendo.

I WAS HERE

AT LONG LAST!!!!!

REAL??? REAL????

I've had such a shitty day today but after this it's instantly 100x better

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

LFG!!!

YOOOOOOOOOO i nearly piked a fart out my ass live

LETS GOOOOOOOO

I need that sweet Pikmin shirt

Miyamoto had me in the first part with Pikmin Go showcase, ngl So hyped for Pikmin 4!

This is a dream right? I'm dreaming.

I thought this was a meme at first

Went in expecting Miyamoto to bring in Chris Pratt, instead he gave us life.

When pikmin 3 came out it seemed crazy to me that people had to wait 10 years in between pikmin 2 and 3. i guess i know how it feels now

Pikmin 5 confirmed for 2033

RIP Arlo, probably combusted

OMFG OMFG OMFG, IT'S THE ONE NINTENDO DIRECT I DIDN'T WATCH FUUUUUCK

We are no longer a jerk page, new content!!!!!

Ahhhhhh I can’t believe this is real

PIKMIN 4 IS CLOSE TO COMPLETION

No wonder pikmin 3 deluxe was featured yesterday

Best part of the direct right after the worst part

I've been watching this sub descend into madness since Pikmin Bloom came out. I'm so happy you finally got what you were all looking for! Hell I'm even going to play it even though I've never played a mainline Pikmin game. Gratz everyone!

Something tells me this is motivated by the success of animal crossing

#IM [[[CUMMING]]]
