Graphics that are too beautiful.
The beautiful graphics, with flowerbeds, benches, and other objects reminiscent of modern-day Earth, make us wonder where this game will take place...?



The main character? and Pikmin and their friends

In the released image, we can see a person who seems to be the main character and Pikmin and their friends.
Although we can only see the back of the figure, it looks closest to Britney, the main character of the previous "Pikmin 3" among the main characters that have appeared so far.
However, Britney's appearance with only her left ear sticking out is impressive.
The main character in the image may be a completely new character, asboth ears are sticking out and her hair color is almost red.
Also, no new Pikmin could be confirmed for the crucial Pikmin.
There are many aspects of the game that we are interested in, such as the connection with the previous game and the timeline, but there is not enough information at this point...we will have to wait for further information!
Pikmin 4 will be released on Nintendo Switch in 2023!
