Miiverse is an application on both the Wii U and the 3DS. It allows users to share messages and in-game screenshots with other users. Currently, Pikmin has two communities present: Pikmin 3, which is for discussion of the game and the Pikmin Short Movies, and the Pikmin 3 Developer Room, where Nintendo developers, specifically Shigeru Miyamoto, discuss updates to both Pikmin 3 and other important events in the Pikmin franchise.
Pikmin Spotted!
On the 7th of November, 2014, Miyamoto announced a Pikmin art contest for Art Academy: Sketchpad[1]. The theme for the drawing challenge was titled "Pikmin Spotted!", and users were tasked with drawing Pikmin in different situations. Requirements for entries were as follows:
- Pictures must be drawn using Art Academy: SketchPad, which is available for purchase on Nintendo eShop.
- Pictures must feature characters appearing in the Pikmin series.
- Entries are limited to one original work per person.
Entries were submitted as comments on Miyamoto's posted in the Art Academy: SketchPad community on Miiverse. The challenge ended on the 1st of December, 2014. On the 16th of December, the winners were announced.[2] The user under the name くらげ?, lit.: "Jellyfish" won first place, with a drawing of Olimar and Louie being followed by some Pikmin carrying an orange behind a windowsill, startled by a common house cat.
