Miyamoto Can’t Get This Nintendo Movie Idea Out Of His Head
Nintendo’s Pikmin series might not be as well-known as Mario or Zelda, but that hasn’t stopped Shigeru Miyamoto from wanting to bring the sprite-sized characters to the big screen. While Miyamoto did work on some Pikmin shorts a decade ago, he wants to try his hand at a feature-length movie or even a television series.
In a recent interview with IGN, Miyamoto discussed the collaboration process with Universal for the Super Nintendo World expansion as part of Epic Universe. The park has many details, such as Pikmin hidden all around, which the iconic game director wants to make as notable as his other creations, especially if that involves adapting it into other media.
“I spent a lot of time the past five, six years really wanting to grow Pikmin. Obviously, a lot of that is focused around Pikmin Bloom, and there was also new Pikmin titles that released. But I wanted to see if there’s other ways that we can have people engage and get to know Pikmin that’s outside of the population that plays video games, for example,” he said.
