Maybe it’s just the incredibly long wait between entries, but any mention of more Pikmin has a tendency to make a fan take notice. In a recent Japanese interview, which can be found here for the those of you who can read it, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that the team behind Pikmin 3 is exploring the idea of adding to the game through downloadable content.
To quote the legendary developer, “So, using the internet [the team] thinks it’d like to add new missions and maps to the game little by little.”
This of course far from any sort of official announcement or confirmation, but it is still heartening to know that Nintendo might not want to wait 9 years to deliver the incredibly unique gameplay experience fans of the series really cannot find anywhere else.
