\"Pikmin<\/a><\/p>\n

Miyamoto has spoken on many occasions about his love of Pikmin<\/a> and how there is effectively no restriction on where they can appear.<\/p>\n

We’ve seen them pop up in Mario Wonder<\/a>, on the back of football shirts<\/a>, and even at Nintendo’s theme parks, and their global expansion is set to continue. Speaking to IGN recently, Miyamoto has reiterated how it’s his “mission” to try and get Pikmin in any kind of Nintendo product he can.<\/p>\n

Shigeru Miyamoto:<\/strong> “I’m on a mission to try to include Pikmin in any kind of Nintendo product we put up. And obviously Pikmin can be appearing anywhere”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

Pikmin will also surface in…spoiler alert<\/strong>…Mario’s new cinematic outing, and Miyamoto’s reasoning here is that the “setting of Galaxy really lends itself to having Pikmin be there as part of the world”. The same movie will also include some other Nintendo characters.<\/p>\n

Miyamoto has previously labelled Pikmin as Nintendo’s “most global characters”<\/a> and considers “video games to be just one of the worlds in which Pikmin live”. We’ve even seen entire shorts dedicated to these tiny little creatures over the past year.<\/p>\n

How do you feel about the possibility of Pikmin showing up in any Nintendo product? Give us your thoughts below.<\/p>\n
