Good news, Pikmin fans – Pikmin 3 will not be the final entry in the franchise. Shigeru Miyamoto stated in an interview with Smosh that he has more ideas for the series, and additional games will be made in the future.

His words in full:

“I still have a lot of ideas about what I want to do with Pikmin, but nothing is decided yet in terms of anything else, but of course we will continue to make Pikmin games.”

Here’s another fan project that you may be interested in: a remake of the very first Paper Mario game. “New Paper Mario” is looking to replace all textures in the game with larger, redone ones. Players will be able to access the results in an emulator once everything is complete.

Nintendo doesn’t appear to be working on a new F-Zero game at present, though Shigeru Miyamoto hasn’t ruled out a return to the franchise in the future.

During an interview with Smosh, Miyamoto mentioned that a new entry could be possible “if we create a new type of controller interface and we find that controller interface is particularly suited for F-Zero”.

Here are Miyamoto’s words in full:

We see a lot of other designers who are kind of making more traditional racing-style games, so we try to focus on something that feels a little bit more gamey. So maybe if we create a new type of controller interface and we find that controller interface is particularly suited for F-Zero, then maybe we’ll do something again with it in the future.

Has the Little Mac amiibo already been discontinued at retailers? We’re not ready to jump the gun and say what’s going on either way, but there may be a reason to be somewhat concerned.

GameStop pulled its Little Mac amiibo listing on December 31. All other figures can still be located on the website. GeekParty reached out to GameStop and was told the following about the situation:

How about another retailer? Like Toys “R” Us, perhaps. When you search for the figure on Toys “R” Us’ website, Little Mac is nowhere to be found. He also seems to be appearing in the retailer’s systems as no longer active.

Again, we can’t say for sure what’s going on with Little Mac at the moment. If you happen to see him online or in-store, you should probably snag him just to be safe!

Thanks to Ryan R for the tip.
