In an interview, Miyamoto said that he wants to maximize the presence of Pikmin throughout the company's ecosystem. His goal is to "place Pikmin in every possible Nintendo product," regardless of format.
The first results of the strategy are already visible. Pikmin have appeared in the Super Nintendo World theme parks, and also made a cameo in the animated film "The Super Mario Bros. Movie". This is an important step, as the Pikmin series has never been as popular as the publisher's main hits. Nevertheless, Miyamoto has for years considered it one of the most important projects in his career and consistently increases brand awareness.
Pikmin is a real-time strategy series that started in 2001. Pikmin 4 became the most successful release in the history of the franchise. Miyamoto's statement indicates the direction of development: Pikmin should become a brand that goes far beyond video games, including films and other media projects of the company.
