If this is an AR game that uses the camera to show Pikmin like all over your garden or whatever, that could be pretty cool.

I love Pikmin but it is so comical how little we've gotten since "Pikmin 4 is almost done"

but this does sound cool, will download for sure

This might actually show some promise as well as raise awareness for Pikmin. Color me curious.

Niantic is a good fit for an AR Pikmin project.

It doesn't actually say these are games. Just "mobile titles" and "applications." Could be something more fitness orientated, which Pokémon GO was designed to be.

edit: The blog - "The app will include gameplay activities to encourage walking and make walking more delightful."

I bet the game is going to involve putting small household objects in the grass and then your phone makes it look like Pikmin are carrying it across the lawn

Think title should be updated that this is the first of a series of AR apps from Nintendo and Niantic with Pikmin being the first one.

I can't hate, I still play PoGo nearly daily so Niantic can clearly make something that keeps people coming back. I als bust out the AR on PoGo more than I ever imagined I would. Between their improvements and the latest phones, the shots you can take are pretty good.

Since this is supposed to be the first in a series of mobile games, maybe they'll do something for Ring Fit Adventure that can connect back to the original game.

Travel the world and pick up trash and rubbish with the help of Pikmin, drop it off at your nearest "dustbin" rocket ship and to get in-game Picorats and make the world a cleaner place.

Hire me Nintendo.

Pikmin Lives Again. Even if it's vastly different than PoGo. Can't wait to see what it looks like
