In good news for fans of adorable plantlife, new “Pikmin 4” footage and a firm release date came with the Nintendo Direct broadcast on February 8.
The long-awaited “Pikmin 4” finally has a release date. There have been rumors of “Pikmin” on Switch virtually since the console debuted, but thus far the closest Nintendo has come to an actual release is a “Pokemon GO” remix with some familiar visuals. In good news for fans of adorable plantlife, new footage and a firm release date came with the February 8 Nintendo Direct broadcast.
Nintendo first teased “Pikmin 4” in a 30-second taster in September 2022. Since then, the developer has been largely quiet on the subject, so the February 8 trailer is a welcome update for the fans. From what we’ve seen, “Pikmin” fans can count on similar gameplay, familiar enemies, and series stalwarts like the Red and Blue Pikmin, but also a more complex and interactive game world with flourishes like flamethrowers and variable-depth water.
