The game is a classic platformer that first came out in 1991. It’s a sequel to Rainbow Islands and the third installment in the Bubble Bobble series.

In the latest developer interview published for Pikmin 4 today, Shigeru Miyamoto said that he feels “Pikmin to be Nintendo’s most global characters.”

Miyamoto’s comments came about when asked what Pikmin means to him. He expressed wanting “people to have this real sense that Pikmin are all around us, that they aren’t just fantasy creatures.” Also brought up is how Mario is strictly limited to his world, but Miyamoto believes Nintendo has “finally reached a point where people can find Pikmin in various places, not just in their imaginations.”

The team behind the Dolphin emulator has cancelled plans for release on Steam following the initial announcement in March.
