Good point about the Monk Maz and Impa as well as the Lizalfos general. I do see the current champions as a possibility but I'd personally prefer new characters myself.

Original HW base with free(month after launch) dlc(that made the 3 Original character villains playable) had 16 characters, with 10 heroes and 6 villains (4 being original characters with a 1:3 split). We are currently at 7 confirmed playable characters. We have 4 known but unconfirmed candidates: Robbie, Purah and the 2 Kings. Master of the Yiga, the Lizalfos General, and Kass's Master are 3 more vaguely known but undefined. That puts us at 14. So 2 fully original characters that could be filled on the hero or villain side are totally doable. And that's without throwing in bonus characters like modern characters, the previous games OCs or bonus carryover characters from the last game(like Imp Midna referencing the wolf link unlock in BOTW)

I'd like to see a new Age of Calamity map, hopefully one that is more open like the Hyrule Field map from the TGS footage.
I guess they wanna do a quick tutorial for people who aren't familiar with the series
"and now for a philosophical discussion on how pikmin are like babies being sent to...uh... die"
I assume gyro will be available in handheld mode too, but I'll wait for official confirmation before jumping on it. I do have it on Wii U already, but I do want the new content and being handheld.
Wish they could have increased the resolution on the ground texture. Looks fine when the camera is pulled back, but any closer it gets pretty ugly (like when they used the camera).

I remember Pikmin 3 looking pretty stunning when it released, but some of these textures have aged pretty poorly. Game still looks amazing overall!
Some gates/walls have been touched up weirdly enough, the dirt one now has white stripes, and the glass one looks slightly different.
What kind of bums me out about Pikmin 3 be re-released is that it was always a series I felt would greatly benefit from HD and high fidelity assets, but it was made fairly early into Nintendo's HD development, and it looks like that. I was hoping a Pikmin 4 would really look amazing, but if that's even in the pipeline it probably won't be out anytime soon because of this, if at all on the Switch
My memory is that those were always a flaw of the original.
Emily Rogers said that Pikmin 4 got a development reboot back in 2018 for some reason. It's probably a 2021 or 2022 game.
Outside of the Mario series (because of the cartoon artstyle) textures in Nintendo games always tend to be a little on the ugly side (BOTW mountains, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, etc). It's just easy to overlook because the games are so good.
This Olimar side-story feels like an extention of the mission DLC. I don't expect new areas, but I hope there's some kind of unique twist here aside from this.
New difficulty is nice.

Portable Pikmin is tempting. Got this for free on wii u so i dont feel so bad double dipping for dlc and olimar content
At fear of derailing this thread after seeing the mess that the Hyrule Warriors online multiplayer thread turned into...
Adding online multiplayer to this port ala 3D world would have been really nice between bingo mode and the addition of co-op.

This went from a "maybe" to a "I need it now". Damn you Nintendo I don't have the money!
Never played Pikmin before FYI.

I dunno. Pikmin is cool but I don't think it's for me. I keep kinda zoning out. This looks like a great package for fans, though!
Its not "live" it said at the start of the stream its pre-recorded following COVID rules or something.
