Pikmin Bloom is hosting another Community Day, this one taking place on February 19, 2022. The Community Day will last all day in the respected time zone, and special in-game bonuses will be up for grabs.

In-app bonuses:

  • Big Flowers will bloom into plum blossoms when you plant regular blue, red, yellow, or white petals around them
  • Players achieving the 10,000 step goal on this day will be awarded a special Plum Blossom Flower Badge
  • Seedlings in your planter pack will grow at 1.5x the usual speed (and more, if you’re flower planting!)
  • Receive 1 bonus coin per 250 flowers planted instead of the usual 500 (capped at 60 coins/day)

In addition to these in-game bonuses, there will also be a real-world tie in for players that live in the United States. Pikmin Bloom is partnering with the flower subscription service BloomsyBox to give out discounted subscriptions to players that reach 10,000 steps on Community Day.

A number of new games were announced for Switch during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, including No Man’s Sky. What you might be surprised to hear is that it’s been a big passion project for developer Hello Games.

In a blog post, Hello Games managing director Sean Murray mentioned that the studio has been tinkering away on the Switch port for a “couple of years”. There were points when the team wasn’t sure if it would be possible, “only to have someone stride in the next day with a unique technical solution.” Hello Games is also “taking the time to make this feel completely at home on the device, both on the big screen, but importantly as a portable version of No Man’s Sky.”
