Nintendo says Pikmin 3 Deluxe is often being chose as the next title from Switch players after Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been a massive success. It has already sold over 26 million copies worldwide despite releasing this year, and has helped move a ton of Switch hardware.

While speaking about the game during a financial results conference call, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa shared an interesting tidbit. Interestingly, Furukawa said that “Pikmin 3 Deluxe has frequently been chosen as the next title after Animal Crossing: New Horizons by many consumers, especially in Japan.” It makes sense that Nintendo wants Switch owners who started out with Animal Crossing “to become aware of and play as many different titles as possible, regardless of whether those titles are new or evergreen.”

Furukawa had this to say when asked about how many of the previously released titles that hit the million mark in the six-month financial period were ones that people can enjoy playing together, and whether they were consciously recommended to Animal Crossing players:

Now that Pikmin 3 Deluxe is here and the full credits are available, we have more information about the game’s production. Although Nintendo was involved, it was actually another studio that led the way on development.

Eighting was largely responsible for Pikmin 3 Deluxe. The company took charge for the actual port as well as the game’s new additions.

Nintendo and Eighting have collaborated a few times in the past. Previously, Eighting contributed to Kirby Star Allies and Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Welcome amiibo. The team also worked with Capcom on Monster Hunter games and developed Zoids Wild: King of Blast for Switch.
