Pikmin, Nintendo and the animated short
Digest more
Nintendo has its own dedicated animation team. Nintendo announced it had acquired Dynamo Pictures in 2022 “to strengthen the planning and production structure of visual content in the Nintendo group,” renaming the studio to Nintendo Pictures. The studio's goal, Nintendo says, is to "focus on development of visual content utilizing Nintendo IP."
While there were hints of Pikmin in the original, this version of the short is filled with them interacting with various objects.
Don't worry: Nintendo still makes video games-- the company even used the Nintendo Today app to reveal the spin-off game Splatoon Raiders, and the Nintendo Switch 2 still has some exciting games coming up this year, such as Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
A video game market report states that the Nintendo Switch 2 has sold quite well within its first three months of availability.
