Pikmin: Color Splash
Pikmin: Color Splash is an upcoming Pikmin game confirmed to be released on the Nintendo NX. It has a planned release for winter 2016. At the moment, not much is known from the game other than what can be gathered from trailers and screenshots. In an attempt to make the series more accessible to wider audiences, the gameplay features massive changes from previous entries in the franchise, making it more like an RPG than a strategy game, and some core concepts that were spread out in detail in other Pikmin games were made much simpler to understand.
Although unconfirmed by Nintendo, outside sources claim that this game's creation is an attempt to boost recognition of the franchise, in order to drive the series in a new direction and with a new fanbase, with the use of Pik-Min and the Nintendo Cinematic Universe.
Pik-Min
Pik-Min is an upcoming Pikmin movie to be released in April 5th, 2016, and is the twelfth film of the Nintendo Cinematic Universe. At the moment, only its plot, characters, and poster are known. It was directed and written by Shigeru Miyamoto. In the movie, Louie must stop Hocotate Freight's greedy ploy of using PNF-404's treasures to become rich and control the planet of Hocotate. The story follows a generally darker tone compared to the rest of the Pikmin series, and is arguably canon, since it deviates noticeably from the canon series and also ties in with other Nintendo series like Super Smash Bros., in addition to the bizarrely stylized name of the movie.
