In it, Miyamoto declares that tomorrow, November 1st, will henceforth be known as ‘Pikmin Day.’ While the Direct had updates for two of the most recent Olimar adventures, it did not provide information about any new games. “Starting this year, we’re going to start calling November 1st Pikmin Day,” says Miyamoto behind a banner of clovers and distant Pikmin chants. “Going forward, I want people to know more about Pikmin.” Released on the GameCube in the fall of 2001, the original Pikmin only debuted around this time of year.
