Check Out Long Gameplay From Pikmin 4, Nintendo's Holiday Hit
Extensive gameplay from Pikmin 4, the next installment of Nintendo's strategy game series, has hit the web.
Nintendo has released extensive video footage from Pikmin 4, the latest installment of the popular strategy game series.
The video includes nearly 20 minutes of gameplay and gives a good idea of what the full version will offer. We can take a look at the improved controls and graphics, as well as see what exploration and combat will look like.
On gameplay, the game looks excellent. July is usually a pretty modest period when it comes to big releases. Pikmin 4 therefore has a good chance to turn out to be one of the most important premieres of the month.
Recall that Pikmin 4 is heading exclusively for Nintendo Switch. The release will take place on July 21, this year.
Its fans had to wait a very long time for the latest installment. The previous part of the series, i.e. Pikmin 3, was released in 2013. The game itself, incidentally, was released nine years after Pikmin 2. So fans of the brand have never been spoiled by Nintendo.
Some consolation is that the series is not in the habit of failing. The third part of the series collected very good reviews - the original on the Wii U has an average rating of 87 percent on Metacritic, and the refreshed re-edition, released three years ago on Nintendo Switch, called Pikmin 3 Deluxe, boasts a score of 85 percent.
So we hope that Pikmin 4 will turn out to be another gem in the series. Judging by the new gameplay, there's a good chance of that.
