Pikmin Bloom’s next Community Day has been announced for March 13, 2022. This is a bit different from usual Community Days because it is a Sunday instead of a Saturday. However, something that is carrying over from the last Community Day is that there will be real-life bonuses for those in the US.

US participants that reach 10,000 steps will be given a 50% discount code for the sustainable eyewear brand Proof Eyewear. This code can be applied to an order on their website, and it will be delivered in an email after reaching the step count. Additionally, eligible users will be entered into a raffle where 2,000 players will received wooden walls. The terms of this raffle can be found here.

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

In a new video we’re sharing today, we’re thinking about the future of Pikmin.

At this point, the series has been around for a couple of decades. For some reason though, it doesn’t feel like it and Pikmin still feels fresh to me – maybe because there are only three mainline games (a number that Splatoon is already reaching in seven years). Nintendo seems to be very fond of the IP, promoting it outside of the main games with animations, a 3D spin-off, and now the recently-released mobile title Pikmin Bloom.

With all of this in mind, in today’s video, I decided to talk about the current situation of the series: eight years without a new game, a lot of reports about a “Pikmin 4”, a recent port of Pikmin 3 for the Switch, and now a new mobile game. What do you think lies ahead for the future of the Pikmin series? Watch the video below and share your opinion in the comments.
