Topic: Pikmin World for Nintendo Switch

@Haru17 All the images were removed, including the games we already knew about. Don't read too much into it though.

I want to believe

The image was something along the lines of this:

I bet some store somewhere has an image like that on their servers for Half Life 3. Don't read too much into it, it was just a placeholder. Though I do think Pikmin 4 is very likely. I don't think Hey Pikmin is the Pikmin that has been in development for a long while.

@skywake buts its fun to look into it with suspicion, why take the placeholder down?

why have a hidden placeholder? What would be the beneift of having a placeholder hidden and if there is a benefit why remove it when its discovered ?

not arguing just curious

Does your uncle work for Nintendo? @Octane hehehe Joking 😂 Anyways there is a possibility for this game because if I remember back when there were rumors, there were Pikmin 4 rumors and thn there were Pikmin World rumors. And Even if this is a placeholder name why would anyone place it for Pikmin 4 when everyone knows it as Pikmin 4 and the game already being confirmed? So it's likely it's a placeholder for a different Pikmin game, could be a casual game but could be another Pikmin.

I can't remember, but what was the "leak" from before the switch event? I think it might have been Emily Roger's or lkd who described a sort of soft reboot pikmin title.

@Operative2-0
It isn't Emily. Since she became a dev she stopped leaking stuff, the last stuff she put up were the Rabbits game I think. Maybe LKD?

Still, don't you find weird that all the Pikmin games have been using numbers and for this one they change the name? (World instead of 4). Seems fake to me.

@Operative2-0 @Luna_110 I don't think it's that weird. Many people skip games because there's a number in the name. "I haven't played Pikmin 1, 2 and 3, so I'm not sure if 4 is something for me." Whereas people are way less hesitant to pick up a game that doesn't contain a number.

Counterpoint: The sale numbers of every other sequel ever made

Nothin' announced yet right? Well no biggie, still need to finish Pikmin 3!

So, you're thinking Pikmin 3DS is the shiny new Pikmin game everyone was waiting for?

@Megal0maniac No, that's Pikmin 4 or whatever it will be called.

Pikmin World is a place holder name that was put up by an obscure retailer. They're the last people to know about "Pikmin World" if it was a real thing.

And a friendly reminder that we already have a Pikmin 4 thread over here: https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/nintendo-switch/pikmin_41
