Pikmin Short Movies: Difference between revisions

On {{date|5|November|2014}}, Nintendo released the ''Pikmin'' shorts, for both 3DS and Wii U. The 3DS version featured 3D elements to it, while the Wii U version is in HD. He explained that storyboard was created using ''{{w|Flipnote Studio}}'', instead of ''{{w|Flipnote Studio 3D}}'' that he said in a Japanese interview some time ago, possibly a form to hide the ''Flipnote Studio 3D'' delay since July 2013 in North America, Europe and Australia (however it was eventually released in February 2015 in North America and in March 2016 in PAL regions). During the Direct, Miyamoto also mentioned that a ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' demo would be released after the direct, as a way for people who enjoyed the movies to get a feel for what Pikmin was like. During the same direct, Miyamoto stated that they would be holding various Pikmin events via Miiverse, the first of these being an [[Miiverse#Pikmin Spotted!|''Art Academy: Sketchpad'' contest]]. After the direct, Miyamoto also stated that "continuing campaigns such as these may lay the groundwork for the next iteration in the ''Pikmin'' series", leading fans to believe that Miyamoto may have hinted at a fourth ''Pikmin'' title being worked on for the Wii U.{{cite web|http://mynintendonews.com/2014/11/06/miyamoto-hints-that-pikmin-4-could-be-in-development/|Miyamoto Hints Yhat Pikmin 4 Could Be In Development|My Nintendo News}}

On {{date|22|November|2014}}, a Japanese Miiverse user by the name of Marichan interviewed Shigeru Miyamoto about the movies. During the interview, Miyamoto revealed professional screenshots of the official storyboard, concept art of the opening to ''The Night Juicer,'' and gave a better look at the bulletin board seen in the same movie. He also discussed the making of the movies and some more minor details.
