Pikmin 4, coming soon!

Nintendo has confirmed "Pikmin 4", the previously unannounced next iteration in its real-time strategy series, is in advanced stages of development. 

Speaking during an interview with Eurogamer in July 2015, series creator Shigeru Miyamoto said Pikmin 4 is "actually very close to completion."

Pikmin is a real-time strategy video game developed and published by Nintendo for the GameCube in 2001. It was created and designed by Shigeru Miyamoto, and is the first game in the Pikmin series. The player controls Captain Olimar, an astronaut who crash-lands on a mysterious planet. Olimar befriends creatures he calls "pikmin", and utilizes their abilities to collect the missing parts of his spaceship he lost during the crash. The player has 30 days to recover the pieces and repair the ship. Both Olimar and the Pikmin are approximately one inch in height. 

The game was both a critical and commercial success. The game has spawned two sequels,Pikimin 2(2004) for the GameCube and Pikimin 3(2013) for the Wii U. In 2009, Pikimin was re-released for the Wii as part of the New Play Control! series.
