Shigeru Miyamoto Declares November 1st Pikmin Day In Surprise Nintendo Direct

Anything can happen on Halloween. A dog can turn into a cat. Canada can eliminate daylight savings . Shigeru Miyamoto can drop a new holiday altogether. This morning, Nintendo announced a spur of the moment Nintendo Direct. In it, Miyamoto declares that tomorrow, November 1st, will henceforth be known as ‘ Pikmin Day.’ While the Direct had updates for two of the most recent Olimar adventures, it did not provide information about any new games. “Starting this year, we’re going to start calling November 1st Pikmin Day,” says Miyamoto behind a banner of clovers and distant Pikmin chants .
