Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto wonders why the Pikmin series hasn't sold more and why people think it's so difficult.

Seems like time and time again, Nintendo is always trying to sell games to an audience of people who do not wish to play video games. For a sequel, I figured Nintendo should focus on their core audience of Pikmin fans but it seems like they’re always changing things to appeal to people who don’t play games while in return alienating the people who want more sophisticated gameplay and challenges.

What are your thoughts?

    I never really played Pikmin as a kid so I don’t have the same nostalgia-hook like I do for Mario and Zelda games. I’m not trying to spend $60 on a game I don’t know if I will like and don’t have prior experience with, especially when I can get a baller indie game on my Steam Deck for $10-$15.
