Would you recommend playing the first three Pikmin games first (now that they are available on the Switch) before diving into Pikmin 4?
Is there an overarching story between all the Pikmin games that I would miss by jumping straight into Pikmin 4?
There's a light overarching story, but you don't really need to play all 3 previous Pikmin games. I also think that only Pikmin 3 is available on Switch, not 1 & 2.
You can look up a brief synopsis of the storylines in the previous games, but the story is pretty simple in all of them.
A package of 1 and 2 released on the eShop.
