"US7762893" was a design concept for a touch-based strategy game highly resembling the Pikmin series on a device that bears a remarkable resemblance to the Nintendo DS. [1] It was filed as a patent in January 2006 by Yuji Kando and Yutaka Hirameki[2] who, respectively are the main programmers and level designers for Pikmin and Pikmin 2.
According to the patent, gameplay would involve players controlling Pikmin like characters with a "pointing device", until a selected object is in range of a second object. Afterwards, this would cause the selected object to interact with the second object after the stylus is released. [3]
