{{for|the technical fourth installment in the ''Pikmin series''|Hey! Pikmin}} | |||
'''''Pikmin 4''''' is the upcoming fourth installment in the {{ps}}, planned for release in 2023. The game was officially announced on {{date|13|September|2022}}, though its existence was hinted at several times prior to the official announcement. | |||
{ | |||
==Known information== | |||
Only one short trailer has been shown so far, from the {{date|13|September|2022}} Nintendo Direct presentation. [[Red Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]], and [[Blue Pikmin]] can be seen, along with [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, [[Bulborb]]s, and a [[White Spectralids]]. A [[leader]] is also seen, who looks similar to [[Brittany]] but with unkempt red hair and a full red [[spacesuit]] with white gloves and boots and no skirt. | |||
In the first shot, a garden-like area with bricks and tiles can be seen, and for the rest of the trailer, another garden scene with various man-made objects such as a bench and a functioning pocket watch hanging from a nail.{{cite youtube|AYR3DVFUnyc|of the ''Pikmin 4'' announcement trailer|published={{date|13|September|2022}}|retrieved={{date|13|September|2022}}}} A still screenshot was shown after the trailer with more man-made objects, including a water tap and a stepladder. | |||
The game's logo was also revealed. The logo uses plain text (similar to the {{hp}} and {{pb}} logos) rather than the Pikmin's flower heads (seen in the logos for {{p1}},{{p2}},{{p3}}). The game's number 4 is still comprised of the Pikmin's flowers, who form the number in the trailer. | |||
Shigeru Miyamoto said after the trailer that the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s controls have made controlling the game simpler, allowing the player to focus more on strategy and management (or "{{j|段取り|dandori}}" as the developers refer to it).{{cite youtube|UJ9Iz7HhU-I|h=1|m=0|s=5|of Miyamoto talking a bit about the game's new features|published={{date|13|September|2022}}|retrieved={{date|13|September|2022}}}} He also said that players would be able to view the world from the Pikmin's perspective near the ground. | |||
==History== | |||
===Pre-announcement=== | |||
Before ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} official announcement in 2022, various information about the game was shared by ''Pikmin'' series creator [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. This information was sparse and sometimes contradictory, and the lack of official statements by Nintendo made it difficult to work out what was happening with ''Pikmin 4''. It is possible that some of these statements were referring to {{hp}}. | |||
The first of these mentions was on {{date|6|November|2014}}, when [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] was being interviewed on the recently-released {{psm}}, during which he said {{transcript|Continually launching campaigns after the release of software will lay the groundwork for the next iteration of "Pikmin" in the future. And needless to say, we want it to be one of the motivations for potential consumers to purchase Wii U. We are making a variety of different efforts.}}, indicating the possibility of another ''Pikmin'' game on the [[Wii U]].{{cite web|https://mynintendonews.com/2014/11/06/miyamoto-hints-that-pikmin-4-could-be-in-development/|Miyamoto Hints That Pikmin 4 Could Be In Development|My Nintendo News|published={{date|6|November|2014}}}} On {{date|5|January|2015}}, Smosh Games uploaded an interview with Miyamoto, in which he stated {{transcript|Well, I wanted to particularly take Pikmin and bring them into sort of that short movie format just because... within the game, we weren't able to really depict the Pikmin individually in the ways that we wanted to. And so, of course, I still have a lot of ideas about what I want to do with Pikmin, but nothing's decided yet. But of course, we will continue to make Pikmin games.}}{{cite youtube|untLD6z6aqI|of the interview with Smosh Games in which Shigeru Miyamoto talks about developing ''Pikmin'' games|m=4|s=35}} | |||
On {{date|7|September|2015}}, Eurogamer unveiled that, in an exclusive interview, Miyamoto had confirmed the development of ''Pikmin 4'', and claimed that {{transcript|it's actually very close to completion. Pikmin teams are always working on the next one.}}{{cite web|http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-07-20-pikmin-4-in-development-and-very-close-to-completion|Pikmin 4 in development and "very close to completion"|Eurogamer|published={{date|7|September|2015}}}} In the same article, Eurogamer also revealed a separate statement from a Nintendo representative, which said {{transcript|We can confirm that Pikmin 4 is in development but that is all we can confirm at present.}}. It is not known if the "Pikmin 4" mentioned in that quote is the actual name for the game that Nintendo used, whether it's a placeholder name or not, or if it's just the result of the quote's English translation. (Of note is the fact that the URL for the Eurogamer interview's page starts with "2014-07-20". Since the URLs of all news article pages on eurogamer.net begin with the article's publication date, this could possibly mean that the article was meant to be revealed shortly after the interview, but was held until September of 2015. A [[#Second Eurogamer interview|later article]] on the site states that the interview took place in July 2015.) | |||
''Pikmin 4'' | On {{date|7|July|2016}}, Gamerant interviewed Miyamoto and asked him about the status of the game's development and why there hadn't been any news in the past few months. To this, he replied {{transcript|Yes, you are right, and we’re working on [''Pikmin 4'']. So, you know, when we’re in development we have to create a list of priorities and it has been hard to kind of fit that into that list, but we’re hopefully starting to see that on the list now.}}{{cite web|http://gamerant.com/pikmin-4-update-miyamoto/|Miyamoto Updates Fans On Status of Pikmin 4|Gamerant}} | ||
A second Eurogamer interview with Miyamoto about ''Pikmin'' was conducted at E3 2017, during which he stated {{transcript|I've been told not to share anything about this from PR, but I can tell you it is progressing.}}{{cite web|http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-06-14-miyamoto-pikmin-4-still-progressing|Miyamoto: Pikmin 4 still "progressing"|Eurogamer|published={{date|14|June|2017}}|retrieved={{date|14|June|2017}}}} Nothing was said about ''Pikmin 4'' between this interview and the official announcement. | |||

{{ | ''Pikmin 4'' was officially announced in a Nintendo Direct presentation on {{date|13|September|2022}}.{{cite youtube|UJ9Iz7HhU-I|of the Nintendo Direct on {{date|13|September|2022}}|published={{date|13|September|2022}}|retrieved={{date|14|September|2022}}}} This announcement was in a section presented by Shigeru Miyamoto, which also promoted {{pb}}. A short trailer was shown, featuring a few scenes in a garden-like area and announcing a release window of 2023. Miyamoto provided some more basic details of the game after the trailer, and also showed off a new Pikmin T-shirt design based off the game's logo, which was made available to buy shortly afterwards. | ||
