"Pikmin: Nintendo's Global Gaming Icons, According to Miyamoto"
Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary designer at Nintendo, considers Pikmin to be Nintendo's "most global characters" and wants players to feel that the creatures could exist in the real world. He believes that Pikmin have a unique presence as creatures that exist somewhere on Earth, unlike characters like Mario who live in their own fictional world. Miyamoto also hints at the possibility of Pikmin appearing in various forms, including a potential cameo in the Mario Movie. The final part of the Pikmin 4 interview series also discusses nostalgia, family conversation, and making the Pikmin feel more alive.
