With Pikmin 4 releasing nearer to the end of this week, Nintendo has seen to it to make sure Pikmin 4 was the latest game to get the “Ask the Developer” interview treatment. Across the interview’s multiple instalments, we got to hear from the likes of Shigeru Miyamoto, Yuji Kando and more.
During the interview, Shigeru Miyamoto discusses his involvement as the Producer for Pikmin 4:
Miyamoto on his Involvement as Producer of Pikmin 4:
Shigeru Miyamoto: I checked to see if it captured the characteristics of the Pikmin series. Also, since there have been other recent developments to the franchise, such as Pikmin Bloom, I checked that it met the standards of a mainline Pikmin title. That said, because my words carry a lot of weight, people would get flustered if I said something even remotely random. All I’d have to say is, “The sound effects…” and they’d respond, “The sound effects?! Which sound effects?!”, so I had to be very careful. (Laughs)
