Pikmin 4 Should Retain Pikmin 3 Deluxe's Best Feature
At some point in the near future, Pikmin 4 is finally coming out. Having been announced by series creator Shigeru Miyamoto all the way back in 2015, this game has been at the top of some wish lists for over 5 years. While its development history has been unclear, the game was teased up until 2017, when it suddenly stopped getting updates. The September 2022 Nintendo Direct is the first time fans have actually seen Pikmin 4, but at least it finally has some substantial news.
Of course, several months will have to pass before anything more about this new game comes to light. Apart from a new camera perspective that is lower to the ground than the defaults used by past entries, it's not clear what Pikmin 4 is bringing to the table. A clock was prominently shown in the trailer in a strange outdoor location, but it's not clear if this is a hint as to the daily timer changing or just set dressing. Pikmin 4 could be an open world game, for all fans know. At any rate, the game should at least strive to bring forward the best features from its predecessors, and one of those traits can be found in the Switch release of Pikmin 3 Deluxe.

Among other things, locking-on and charging were reworked, Pikmin 2’s Piklopedia bestiary was implemented, and a Side Story mode showing what the old protagonists were doing was added. However, one of the more subdued yet game altering additions was campaign co-op.
