Some time before April Fool's, some [http://www.niwanetwork.org/ NIWA] members gathered around to discuss the possibility of a collaborative April Fool's joke. the premise would be that Nintendo announced a new franchise, the Nintendo Cinematic Universe, as a parody to the {{w|Marvel Cinematic Universe}}. Like the latter consists a collection of Marvel franchise films, the joke would involve a series of movies about different Nintendo franchises. Being a collaborative joke, other wikis would make fake articles about the Nintendo Cinematic Universe and whatever movie they wished, all keeping the same theme.

The ''Pikmin'' movie in this line-up was decided to be a parallel to ''{{w|Ant-Man (film)|Ant-Man}}''. Given that in both the ''Ant-Man'' and the ''Pikmin'' franchises, human(oid) heroes are of a small size compared to their surroundings, and are able to control an army of colony insects, the connection was clear as day straight from the start. The similarity between the two series' names also made the final movie's name an easy choice: ''Pik-Min''. | The ''Pikmin'' movie in this line-up was decided to be a parallel to ''{{w|Ant-Man (film)|Ant-Man}}''.
