Nintendo often gets creative with certain properties when it comes to promoting them, and with Pikmin 4, they’re going back to that “bag of tricks.” The 4th entry in the series did incredibly well on Nintendo Switch in its opening months, selling more than any title before it by a large margin. But they know there’s still room to sell more games, so they’ve dropped a new holiday commercial featuring the Pikmin spreading some “yuletide joy” at a house and getting scared in the process. Because, of course, they do.
It’s not even a minute long, but you can feel the love and effort put into it to let the Pikmin shine and get people interested in Pikmin 4. Check it out below.
In Pikmin 4, you won’t play as Olimar or the other members of the Rescue Corps that we’ve met so far. Instead, you’ll be CREATING your own custom member of the Corps and be sent on a mission to a new planet to try and rescue them all! Crash landings are apparently an obstacle these “rescuers” can’t avoid.
Pikmin 4 is currently available for the Nintendo Switch, and there’s a demo available to play if you want to check out the game.
