Oh hey it's you. Sup man.

Maybe it's just nostalgia but there's something so perfect about the opening cutscene with the music used, the pacing, the way the characters are voiced, the simple to understand plot that has more going on beneath the surface. It's just so good.

Playing 3 again so will see where that lies.

It’s stock footage with Louie plastered on top. It’s truly amazing, a complete masterpiece of technology.

4:30 - 4:40 is so nostalgic to me. The fact the music cuts is so perfect and you actually don’t notice anything abnormal until Olimar notices that Louie is not there so the surprise is a very good in this scene.

Looking at them side by side, especially the final moments of the credits with Louie looking at the camera, they really did a good job overhauling these cutscenes, they’re just how I remember them considering I replayed the GameCube version a week before playing the Switch version and the ones on Switch look like how I remember the GC ones but side by side the GC ones look really grainy and muddy

I love how over exaggerated the expressions of everyone are in the cutscenes

I love the early 2000’s sci-fi aesthetic so much, so these cutscenes are super nostalgic and reminiscent of that. I love it so much!!

I love the treasure completion scene. It gives me sadness that oilmar is leaving the pikmin alone for 10 years.

And then he deliberately stayed behind, eating the various animals to survive. Until he encounters the Titan Dweevil. Since the thing likes metal, Louie gathers weapons and juryriged them to his power supply on his back. This allowed the Titan to use them against you. Louie literally tried to kill you to avoid the secret being spilled.

I always liked the treasure completion scene the most. The Pikmin send out a light show like an aurora on the land to show their friendship to Olimar.

I was really surprised to see that they re-rendered the cutscenes for the remaster in higher-res. So many other devs would just reuse the old, compressed cutscenes instead. Which is not entirely their fault, its rare that studios would keep game assets around years after development finished to be able to do that sort of thing, especially for this era and earlier. The fact that they even still had them at all for Pikmin of all things amazes me.

@Tokuto-kun

Woah, is that how they did that? They just had the original project files for Pikmin 2's pre-rendered cutscenes lying around? I mean, I guess they did hold onto Luigi's unused Super Mario 64 model for two decades along with many, many more stuff so maybe it's not that surprising.

My mind might be playing tricks on me, but I think they actually might have just straight up redone the cutscene for Louie exploring PNF-404 by himself. All the other cutscenes look pretty much like they did on the Gamecube, just now uncompressed/in hd, while Louie's model in the fake credits cutscene genuinely looks way more high quality then anything in any of the other cutscenes, especially how the reflection in his helmet. If I'm correct, I wonder if why they did that had something to do with the hybrid nature of the og cutscene.

I looks so much better than on the Wii and GameCube, it’s like the cutscenes were made for HD

Tbh I really wish we got to see more of the non-Pikmin planets in the games, Planet Hokotate in particular looks and sounds like a very interesting place

2:25 I love that detail in that Louie is fuming over the idea that Olimar brought his son a souvenir from his near brush with death, but not for him. From just this scene, Louie is trouble before we even learn of his dark secret.

Did they boost the quality of these cutscenes? Because these look REALLY good
