Speaking to me today at E3, Miyamoto did not give much away - but confirmed the project was still in development.

"I've been told not to share anything about this from PR," Miyamoto laughed, "but I can tell you it is progressing."

Steal all the Pik-Pik carrots if old.

 

[TheDinoman]

So...Hey! Pikmin isn't the game he was talking about after all?

EDIT: wrong image fuck

 

[Magikoopa24]

So Hey, Pikmin! isn't 4, that's a relief. Expect it to be like Fed Forces, bad game released this year, next year announce a sequel

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Yay

 

[meltingparappa]

Seriously, they should take all the time they need.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

So there'll be one after Hey Pikmin. Good to know for sure.

 

[iMax]

I was worried the "new Pikmin" that's been name dropped over the last year or two was "Hey! Pikmin", so this is good to hear.

 

[TissueBox]

Here's to that then.

 

[higemaru]

It's not being positioned as a flagship title like Pikmin 3 was so go ahead, take as much time as you need.

 

[EhoaVash]

yay !

 

[Joqu]

Good to have some confirmation again, I never thought this but I know some people were thinking Miyamoto had been refering to Hey Pikmin in the past.

 

[Chauzu]

I never for a second believed Miyamoto would count an outsourced game for the 3DS as Pikmin 4.

 

[Enforced]

I still need to get the pikmin 3. DX

 

[hatchx]

Pikmin straight into my veins Miyamoto-San. Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Pink, and Rock Pikmin.....straight into my veins.

 

[Clov]

It's alive! Glad to have confirmation that the new project wasn't "Hey! Pikmin" after all.

 

[Zedark]

Ah, so it isn't Hey! pikmin after all! Well, we might just see it before the end of 2018, get hype!

 

[J@hranimo]

So...Hey! Pikmin isn't the game he was talking about after all?

No, that game is made by Arzest or whatever that dev is called.

 

[KingSnake]

Hey Pikmin is not yet released so I guess it's progressing well.

 

[WonderzL]

YES!!!!!!! That confirms that Hey! Pikmin is not Pikmin 4. So glad. So blessed.

 

[BorkBork]

Oh thank god.

 

[Trevelyan]

Best news of the conference. Absolutely adore Pikmin and I can't wait to see what they have in store for 4 after the brilliance of 3.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

I'm fine with this. There's a lot on the way already, so they can take their time to make it the best one yet!

 

[Mory Dunz]

2018 game announced in fall 2017 imo.

Or announced in 2018

 

[KingBroly]

People should start asking him about everything. I imagine 1 out of every 5 will be 'I can't tell you about this, but it's totally happening!'

Of course it comes out in 1 anf a half month ;-) ooook, Hey Pikmin might not be 4.

 

[JRBechard]

Pikmin is the one series he keeps talking about before he's supposed to, he did the same thing with Pikmin 3, he talked about it at a 2008 Roundtable and it released in 2013

 

[Oregano]

The absolute madman not listening to the PR team.

 

[Scoops]

Excellent. I suspect we'll see it at next E3 or a Direct before then.

 

[MrT-Tar]

Pikmin 4 is starting to sound like Pikmin 3. As in that it was announced via an off hand comment, kept being a no-show at various E3s, moved from one Nintendo home console to another, and then released as an incredible game, despite many believing it was vapourware..

 

[Ocarina_117]

Looking like we will have a constant stream of quality first party stuff from Nintendo for the switch.

Combined efforts from handheld and home console will pay dividends.

 

[MLH]

Really odd that he mentioned it was near completion previously, now it's basically nothing, no footage or teaser, makes me wonder how far along it really is.

Overall some really glaring omissions from Nintendo's show: no Pikmin 4, no Retro Studios game and no mention of VC. Also disappointed by lack of MHXX localisation, but that's on Capcom.

 

[Rymuth]

What about Project Giant Robot? Hello? Miyamoto, where are you going?

 

[Vire]

Didn't Miyamoto do this before? Inadvertently just announced Pikmin 3?

Or am I imagining things. Either way I am happy to hear of its existence!

 

[sinonobu]

Guess they are being quiet because of Hey!Pikmin

I don't know, I could live with that.

 

[VendettaRed07]

but I was told that Hey You Pikachu Pikmin on 3DS was actually Pikmin 4

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

They must have run into some trouble late into development, this game was "very close to completion" all the way back in 2015 according to Miyamoto.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

He said last year it was put on hold.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Yeah, he announced Pikmin 3 back in 2009, I believe. Might have even been earlier than that. Edit - Yeah, I think it was E3 2008.

And he actually announced Pikmin 4 two years ago! Pretty crazy.

 

[Pinky]

Did people really believe that Hey! Pikmin was Pikmin 4?

 

[kuhnbeast91]

I wonder what Mr. Miyamoto's definition of almost done is.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Do Pikmin games sell that well? Felt like a huge gap between 2 and 3, now we getting them a lot quicker

 

[MrSaturn99]

It really is, LOL

Glad it's not Hey! Pikmin, much as I'm looking forward to that.

 

[Fireblend]

Great news. Hope we get it next year, I can't wait for more Pikmin

 

[Gleethor]

Crazy that people doubted that this was a separate project from hey pikmin, despite the fact that Pikmin 3 was announced and discussed in the exact same way.

I love how he's basically like "yeah I'm not supposed to say anything, but what are they gonna do? Fire me?"

 

[JimJamJones]

No but I was told that Hey! Pikmin was Pikmin 4.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I mean at E3 2008 Miyamoto said they were working on a new Pikmin game and it only released over 5 years later.

He talked about the next one in September 2015 so expect holiday 2020.

 

[Valahart]

Great, one of my favorite Nintendo franchises

 

[James Scott]

Pikmin teams are always working on the next one.

With Hey! Pikmin not being made by the Pikmin team it seems to indicate that Pikmin 4 is a different game

 

[mariachi507]

This is great news.
