Nintendo is creating a number of new animated shorts based on the Pikmin franchise. Shigeru Miyamoto is personally overseeing the videos’ development, which are planned for release ahead of Pikmin 3’s arrival.

According to Miyamoto:

“They’ll be released sometime before the release of Pikmin 3. Possibly as a Nintendo video. If they’re popular we could consider selling them.”

Miyamoto developed a number of mock-ups with the 3DS’ Flipnote Studio app (why isn’t this out yet?!), and teamed up with an external animation studio to create the shorts. Some members of the press were given a sneak peak look at one of the clips which was directed by Miyamoto himself.
