"Pikmin DS" was a design concept for a touch-based strategy game highly resembling the Pikmin series. [1] It was filed as a patent in January 2006 by Yuji Kando and Yutaka Hirameki who, respectively are the main programmers and level designers for Pikmin and Pikmin 2.
According to the patent, gameplay would involve players controlling Pikmin like characters with a "pointing device", until a selected object is in range of a second object. Afterwards, this would cause the selected object to interact with the second object after the stylus is released. [2]
