NintendObs Daily. Tuesday, March 23.
By the makers of Pokémon Go, the 2016 mobile phenomenon with over a billion downloads, comes a brand-new Pikmin game for smart devices, powered by Niantic's real-world AR technology, scheduled to launch later this year. Yet that's only the beginning. This new Pikmin game will be the first in a series of apps jointly developed by Nintendo and Niantic, kicking off a new partnership with Nintendo whereas beforehand Niantic was only tangentially working with Nintendo by partnering with The Pokémon Company. The theme behind the app is that of walking in real life with Pikmin in order to color and delight your everyday walking experience, and to encourage you to walk even more. The game will be the first production by Niantic's Tokyo Studio established back in April 2018.
