Seems like time and time again, Nintendo is always trying to sell games to an audience of people who do not wish to play video games. For a sequel, I figured Nintendo should focus on their core audience of Pikmin fans but it seems like they’re always changing things to appeal to people who don’t play games while in return alienating the people who want more sophisticated gameplay and challenges.

What are your thoughts?

    I didn’t pick it up because it’s a full priced game, and it’s just pikmin again. Great there’s a dog now.

    Nintendo has a big sequelitis problem these days, for every new idea they have they have a bare bones sequel to some ip that’s the same thing as ever.

      That’s kind of a strange complaint, given that there’s always so many complaints about Nintendo ruining core gameplay mechanics in sequels. Lots of us want sequels as long as the gameplay loop hasn’t changed much beyond adding a few new features. I would kill for another Paper Mario with PPM 64/Thousand Year Door mechanics but they’re just straight up averse to doing exactly what you’re accusing them of for a lot of their game series.

        it’s not a strange opinion, it’s just different from yours. we have different opinions. you want sequels that are the same, I want sequels that are different.
