2013 was the last time we got a numbered Pikmin release. This is a fun franchise with some memorable and cute characters. Now, 10 years later, we are getting a new entry. During today’s Nintendo Direct, Pikmin 4 was announced. With it, a lot of new things came to light. Things like how we’ll be experiencing the game, how the Joy-cons will play a massive part in it, and more. The Pikmin 4 release date has a window now. No specific date, though. Yet, while we wait, we can continue playing Pikmin Bloom, which also got a bit of time during today’s Nintendo Direct.
