Pikmin 4 devs on how Oatchi came to be, considered letting players ride and control creatures
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The space dog Oatchi is a brand new addition for Pikmin 4, and Nintendo has now discussed its origins while also providing other interesting insight. This comes as part of an official interview published today.
The company’s Yuji Kando revealed that one idea that came about early on was letting players control a Bulborb. Continuing on from that, Nintendo then considered letting players “ride and control various creatures in the story”. However, “it became difficult to weave it all into a coherent game.” Oatchi was born from these ideas.
