We all know that Shigeru Miyamoto is one of the most important people in the history of gaming, developing numerous franchises that still endure to this day. That’s just facts. However, in recent years, he’s been working on helping grow Nintendo as a company beyond just gaming. He helped with the Super Mario Bros Movie (which will get a sequel soon enough) and was instrumental in the development and promotion of Super Nintendo World, which just opened its Orlando theme park. However, even after all of that, he still has a soft spot for Pikmin.
In an interview with IGN, Shigeru Miyamoto talked about how he wanted to expand the franchise in various ways:
We know part of that was making things like the mobile title, Pikmin Bloom, but he feels the franchise has an even broader appeal, especially due to how it can connect with younger audiences. To that end, when broached about a potential TV show or movie, Miyamoto seemed up for it:
Anything is possible, especially if Nintendo keeps cranking out box office hits.
