3DS

Famitsu posted a report about the Pikmin short films and Shigeru Miyamoto’s appearance at the Tokyo International Film Festival. Read on below for a summary of what was shared, courtesy of NeoGAF’s “StreetsAhead”.

-The films were screened in 3D at the event.
-The films are ‘Late-Night Juice’ (2 mins), ‘The Treasure Inside The Bottle’ (8 mins), and ‘The Rough Day’ (13 mins).
-Miyamoto showed off some of the storyboards he made in Flipnote 3D at the event.
-He joked that with the time he put in making these short films he probably could have made about 2 games.
-He was reticent to use the Rock Pikmin idea at first, but with the mechanic involing breaking glass/crystal in the game came to the conclusion that rocks breaking it would be easiest to convey.
-Rock (and probably Flying) Pikmin don’t appear in the films since they were made at the same time as Pikmin 3 and they hadn’t finalized everything about those types yet.
-He mentioned that he’s working on the Star Fox game for Wii U.
-They’d like to release the Pikmin 3 demo on Wii U and the films on the 3DS at the same time.

If you have SpotPass enabled on your 3DS, you should see a new visitor arriving at the StreetPass Mii Plaza shortly. Nintendo is sending out a Mii for “Kyle” – apparently to promote National StreetPass Weekend and Halloween.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
