Though there’s still lots of mystery around what exactly is going on with Pikmin 4 behind closed doors at Nintendo HQ, fans of the series can at least rest easy knowing that the 2D spin-off Hey! Pikmin is only about a month away from seeing a release on the 3DS. Given that Arzest is the studio behind this one, some fans are a bit concerned as to whether this one will be any good, but much of the footage that Nintendo has released thus far seems promising at the very least.
In order to start building up hype for the game’s launch, My Nintendo was recently updated in North America with a few new Pikmin rewards. Most notably, those adorable Pikmin shorts that Nintendo released a few years ago around the release of Pikmin 3 are up for grabs, and there’s a new Hey! Pikmin wallpaper available, too. Here’s what the rewards will cost you:
- Hey! Pikmin Wallpaper – 50 Platinum Coins
- Pikmin Short Movies HD – 40 Gold Coins
- Pikmin Short Movies 3D – 40 Gold Coins
Will you be getting any of these rewards? Do you think Nintendo should continue pouring into its cinematic side? Share your thoughts in the comments below

Nice! I'll be grabbing those short movies...
I guess I'll be getting these as there is NOTHING else worth getting and my points are all gonna be expired soon.
Waste of coins if you ask me. As archaic as it was, Club Nintendo had some pretty great rewards for Nintendo fans. I'm still waiting for Nintendo to truly succeed their former rewards program
@Pichuka97
I mean, I'd rather spend coins (that will expire) on these shorts as opposed to $4.99.
Sure, there should be much better rewards for a program like this in general, but given its current track record right now, I'd say that for this at least...

@OdnetninAges True enough. I never actually knew they expired till right now ¯(ツ)/¯
You guys are so lucky. It costs 10 gold coins more in Europe. I'm not really a fan of pikmin but I spend 50 gold coins on the shorts
Those shorts are stupid adorable.
I guess they are worth 5 dollars, but note that it's about 30 minutes worth of content.... that said I bought them twice so
I remember when Europe got the Pikmin Short Movie rewards last month and I was so jealous. Well, better late than never.
I got the shorts when they were first released on the e-shop... I've loved Pikmin ever since my friend lent me the first game... it's one of the few games that I'm happy to replay multiple times.
Even the new game... I'm not that interested in side-scrollers usually, but having tried the demo, the new game looks great... I can't wait.
"Remember those awesome Pikmin cartoons?"
If so, then you probably have them already. Well, I like that these are an option for those who don't have them. They are adorable little shorts.
Brings back memories. I am not into Pikmin, just never played the games, but I picked it up to see the shorts, and the Flipnote storyboards.
I think it's rather telling that Nintendo did not show Hey! Pikmin at E3. I am willing to bet that it's less than "Nintendo Quality."
Well......expiring coins and free movies I don't have so I guess I will get them, Nintendo needs to step up their game with this program or just get rid of it. I'm not nearly the consumer most of you are and I still can't use my coins. At this point it is annoying
I bought the Pikmin shorts back when they first came out and I love them. My kids and I have watched them several times.
I really hope Nintendo makes more of them eventually.
I'm passing on Hey Pikman and the Club Nintendo extras for it. Just concentrating on RPG Maker right now
I'll get the wallpaper, but I don't have enough Gold Coins for the movies 😔
@jswhitfield8 I'm due to play some Metriod Prime soon too, happy gaming!
Some days I wish I didn't dislike pikmin. Perhaps good news for others?
wow mynintendo is lame
Is there anything left to do in MyNintendo at this point? There's nothing for me at least. I have 3000 Plat Points and they're all going to waste every month as a few get expired with no use due to Nintendo not doing anything for the platform. They better introduce more rewards, or no one will use it at this rate.
Would have much preferred the movies to use platinum points. Or better yet, make a way to exchange platinum points for gold points. Roughly 1 gold = 10 platinum, right? I wouldn't even mind a convenience fee like 120 platinum for 10 gold (though of course would prefer direct conversion, no fee).
Eh, I think I'll save my gold coins for a rainy day...provided they don't expire by then.
Something to waste my coins. Besides this videos cost more since Switch launch. So getting them free is better to pay the increased price.
