Miyamoto said the date was chosen because three Pikmin standing shoulder to shoulder resemble the numbers 11.1. He stated that going forward, he wants people to know more about Pikmin.
The Direct provided updates on Pikmin 4 and Pikmin Bloom but did not announce any new games. A Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Pikmin 4 is scheduled to release in two weeks.
The original Pikmin was released on GameCube in fall 2001, around this time of year.
