Editor’s note: I never played Pikmin I think the reason why the series is not so successful is that there are other options that attract much more attention, Pikmin 4 It is releasing just two months after its premiere The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom I think it’s easy for someone to lean towards buying a copy of the new one Zelda That’s one Pikmin. But I seriously considered opening myself up Pikmin 4.
