Pikmin 4 is slated for release on Switch on July 21. 1 Pikmin fan, Shigeru Miyamoto, says the new Pikmin will be easier to control than past games. Outside of character creation, Pikmin 4 will introduce a new type of Pikmin, the Ice Pikmin, which can freeze enemies and bodies of water and Oatchi, a canine that can help the Galactic Rescue team with things like smashing obstacles and carrying Pikmin around. There are at least two expressions: concerned pursed tiny mouth (à la Olimar) and grumpy frown. You can make your own weird little person with a variety of options, including skin tone, body type, haircut, hair color, and expression. Pikmin 4 - like Splatoon 3 and Nintendo Switch Sports before it - is embracing character creation.

Nintendo hasn’t said much about next month’s new Pikmin game for Switch, but a brief new trailer for Pikmin 4 reveals a small, but welcome new detail: You can make your own custom character, as a member of the Galactic Rescue team whose mission is to save the stranded Captain Olimar.
