Nintendo has declared November 1 as Pikmin Day, celebrating the franchise with a special Direct presentation. Shigeru Miyamoto shared new information about Pikmin 4 for the Nintendo Switch 2, including the use of voice commands and a new Dandori Academy mode with challenges and leaderboards. The Pikmin Bloom mobile app will receive an update with Secret Caves, where players can battle enemies and find treasures. A new series of shorts, Hello! Pikmin, will debut with the first installment on Pikmin Day, followed by monthly releases.
The Pikmin Day Direct also highlighted the creative reasoning behind the date, with Miyamoto explaining that November 1 resembles the number 11 when three Pikmin stand together. The presentation featured a new Pikmin Original Short Movie and showcased the involvement of Japanese actress Fuka Koshiba, who helped build excitement for the series.
