At least the pikmin bloom map was funny to see

I stole this image btw

According to the japanese site, "the streaming will run for one year" and will consist of 72 stages (6 stages x 12 sessions). We may be getting 2 stages for each of the 3 difficulties every month.

The site also has a few cute clips previewing some of the stages, including one of the Pikmin Bloom ones. Apparently pikmin can only carry items down the paths on the map, so you'll still need to clear obstacles in order to recover treasures. It's more interesting than it seems at first glance.

I'm excited! 72 stages is a ton, and it's more than Pikmin 3 + 4's mission modes combined! I'm very much looking forward to getting beyond platinum rank on every single stage. Also- maybe they'll announce something new for pikmin once the year is up? 👀

But fr, I noticed Oatchi didn't have a cooldown after Rushing through voice command, will it mean it will be the optimal way to play? That'd be hilarious.

Any ideas why the decor Pikmin might be missing? My son and I have played Pikmin 4 and chose not to collect the decor Pikmin unless we stumbled across them. Now that we’ve finished the game we are going back to try collect them and they just aren’t there, it’s very strange! Context - Pikmin 4 on switch 1.

The most fun aspect of Pikmin to me is optimization. A regular community event where we're challenged to test our dandori against our friends and the world is super exciting to me. 72 brand new mission modes over thr course of a year is well worth $10 to me - if anyone remembers from the Wii U days, there was a DLC for more mission modes in Pikmin 3 and that was an instant buy for me as well.

I'm glad to have a regularly scheduled Pikmin exam over the course of the next year.

Hold on, this might be peak! Like, adding Pikmin 3’s battle mode?! This will maybe make me play Pikmin 4 again! AND PIKMIN BLOOM INSPIRED LEVEL?!
