Everything Announced During Pikmin Day 2026


Earlier this week Nintendo declared November 1st as Pikmin Day, a day to celebrate all things Pikmin, and with that came a few announcements.

Here is everything that was revealed during the Pikmin Direct, including gameplay for Pikmin 4 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy.

Pikmin Day Announcements:

Pikmin 4 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy: In this enhanced version for Nintendo Switch 2, players can now give voice commands to the Rescue Pup Oatchi. Tell him to “Rush!” or “Go to work!” and the built-in Nintendo Switch 2 microphone will register 9 different commands. Experience the new Dandori Academy, where players can take on challenges to see how quickly they can collect treasures, like fruits or vegetables, within a stage. Using strategy and efficiency, players will practice their Dandori skills in each stage, and test them with exams held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. A free demo of Pikmin 4 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy will be available later today on Nintendo eShop.

Pikmin Bloom: A new adventure is being added to the smartphone app Pikmin Bloom. To enter the Secret Caves, users will need cave maps that they may receive together with postcards. But be warned, there are creatures lurking within the caves! Users can send a lot of their Pikmin at once into the caves to explore and battle. Plus, players who take exams in Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy and have linked the game to Pikmin Bloom can send their results to the app to collect special in-app rewards.

“Hello! Pikmin”: A new series of short movies called “Hello! Pikmin” are on the way! There are already new episodes to enjoy on the Nintendo Today! app and other Nintendo channels, with more to come. Like the Pikmin Close to you video that released last year, the movies are produced by Nintendo Pictures in collaboration with Mr. Miyamoto.
