PIKMIN 4
First Released
Captain Olimar crash-lands on the mysterious planet PNF-404, where he discovers the Pikmin and a dog-like creature named Moss while trying to repair his ship. As he attempts to leave, he realizes Moss is gravely ill and turns back, but his ship crashes again. Captain Olimar sends out an SOS signal, which the Rescue Corps receives, but they also crash upon arrival, prompting the player to embark on a mission to rescue them, Olimar, and other stranded Castaways.
Pikmin 4 became the best-selling game in the series, surpassing all previous entries and revitalizing the franchise. It was the first game in the series to introduce character customization, allowing players to create their own unique explorer, which added a fresh layer of personalization. Its strong sales contributed to Nintendo's continued dominance in the Switch era, proving that even niche franchises could find mainstream success. This success may encourage Nintendo to invest more in the series, ensuring a bright future for Pikmin beyond Pikmin 4.
