Pikmin 4 is in development, series creator Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed.
“It’s actually very close to completion,” Miyamoto told Eurogamer back in July. “Pikmin teams are always working on the next one.”
Nintendo also added the following in an official statement: “We can confirm that Pikmin 4 is in development but that is all we can confirm at present.”
Miyamoto didn’t say which platform Pikmin 4 is planned for, but NX is certainly a possibility.
Thanks to JurgenMcGurgen for the tip.
Tomorrow, a new rule set will be added to Devil’s Third in Europe and Japan.

Before this new content is added in, Devil’s Third will be undergoing a few hours of maintenance. Online play will be affected between 2 AM and 5 AM CEST.

If you want to get the coveted Sharpedonite, you need to rank in the top 11,000 in Europe, the top 18,000 in North America or the top 50,000 in Japan. If you manage to rank in the top 2,500 in Europe, the top 3,500 in North America or the top 10,000 in Japan you’ll receive a Mega Speedup in addition to the Mega Stone. If you don’t get the Sharpedonite but rank in the top 16,000Â in Europe, the top 25,000 in North America or the top 70,000 in Japan, you’ll receive an Attack Power Up as a consolation price.

A brand new New Nintendo 3DS Bundle is headed to Japan this fall in the form of Hello Kitty, releasing on November 28th. We’ve seen tons of bundles release for the New Nintendo 3DS, but this is the first that actually has the AC Adapter included.
The Hello Kitty bundle – which is a collaboration with Sanrio – will also include a specialized faceplate. This plate will also be sold separately for those who would like one but already have a New Nintendo 3DS.
From small girls to adult women, the globally popular Hello Kitty is beloved by ages of all generations. The new faceplate included summarizes the overall color of baby pink, and is finished with a soft atmosphere that will appeal to all women.
