Meet Pikmin, small, plantlike creatures you can grow, pluck, command, and overpower your enemies with! These curious helpers come in different types—fire is no sweat for Red Pikmin and the brand-new Ice Pikmin can freeze enemies and the environment. Use your Pikmin’s miniature might (and a bit of strategy) to explore this mysterious planet. You get a dog, too! Oatchi, resident good boy and dependable partner, can help with things like smashing obstacles and carrying Pikmin throughout your adventure. With the miniscule Pikmin and a capable canine in tow, no challenge is too big!
This podcast may have been running for over 13 years but did you know that happysalad is much older than that? Over 20 years in fact, maybe more... we're old. It seems Mario might be feeling the age too as the "New" leaves the name of Super Mario Bros. Wonder. We also cover the rest of the Nintendo Direct and some redaction mishaps. There's plenty of the "Z-word" too.
Life literally got in the way last week. Luckily a lot of news happened in the gap so there's a bunch to talk about. Rob checks out a shadow drop from Tango Gameworks, Zac tries some upcoming "base building" games and we cover the first "directs" of the year.
It's been an eventful peiod of time here in the UK, one we cannot possibly do any justice representing. We'll rely on our old friend, gaming news, to help us through.
In this episode we'll cover Sony's State of Play, Nintendo's Direct and Ubisoft's Forward. On top of that Rob's been playing Splatoon 3 and Zac's been drinking virtual beer.
