Game title not yet finalized
The streamed Nintendo Direct presentation on Thursday announced that the Pikmin franchise is spawning a side-scrolling adventure game for the Nintendo 3DS system in 2017. The game's title has not been finalized.
The Pikmin series of strategy games allows players to control creatures called Pikmin in an effort to explore an unknown planet and survive against predatory adversaries, using the special properties of each kind of Pikmin to navigate the game environment.
Nintendo released the first game in the series on the Nintendo Gamecube in 2001. Nintendo released the latest game in the series, Pikmin 3, on the Wii U in 2013. Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto mentioned last year that Pikmin 4 was "very close to completion."
