Anything can happen on Halloween. A dog can turn into a cat. Canada can eliminate daylight saving time. Shigeru Miyamoto may completely abandon another vacation. This morning, Nintendo announced a Nintendo Direct on a whim. In it, Miyamoto states that tomorrow, November 1, will henceforth be known as “”Pikmin Day.’ Although the Direct provided updates for two of the most recent Olimar adventures, it did not provide any information on the new games.
“Starting this year, we will start calling on November 1 Pikmin Day,” Miyamoto says from behind a banner of shamrocks and distant Pikmin chants. “In the future, I want people to know more about Pikmin.”
Released for the GameCube in the fall of 2001, the original Pikmin only made his debut around this time of year. Miyamoto’s reasoning is that if three Pikmin stood side by side, they would look like the date “11.1”. While this conflicts with Day of the Dead, experienced players know that there are likely deceased Pikmin spirits that you could atone for. It doesn’t hurt that in two weeks the Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Pikmin 4 will fall. Although the surprise livestream didn’t provide any surprise new games, it did provide information on what the new edition will offer, as well as an update on mobile. Pikmin Flower.
Thanks to the integrated microphone, the Switch 2 version of Pikmin 4 will allow you to command voice instructions from your dog-like assistant, Oatchi. I hope it’s more reliable than what Hello there, Pikachu! could succeed. The new version will also feature a new exclusive mode, “Dandori Academy,” a timed treasure race. You will only have one attempt in this mode from Friday to Sunday, where your score will be submitted, but you will be allowed to practice and perfect the essay over the coming week. A demo of this new mode will be available on Monday, before the launch on November 12.
As for Pikmin Flowerthe even smaller Pikmin adventure, you’ll soon be able to send your little guys underground. Caves are added to the mobile game. Similar to the gauntlets in the console series, these caves promise piles of treasure at the risk of total Pikmin devastation. The live ended with a new cartoon Pikmin in short, adding that the once mysterious cartoons will soon become a monthly occurrence. Miyamoto also introduced the actress and Pikmin Ambassador Fuka Koshiba, who attracted his attention by crocheting hats.
Happy Pikmin In the evening, everyone. I hope you’re well.
