When asked if Pikmin fans will have to wait another decade for the next instalment, Pikmin 4 producer Takashi Tezuka said: "We'll try not to let everyone wait."
"I spent a long time mulling over how we could convey these points as 'interesting' rather than 'difficult,'" the legendary Nintendo designer says.
The timeless quality of Pikmin 1 and 2 persists in these Switch ports, even if the ports themselves are fairly conservative.
HD versions of both games are available digitally via the eShop, while a physical bundle will be launching in September.
Ahead of Pikmin 4's launch in a month's time, fans of the franchise can also play the first two games on the Switch starting today.
A leaker seems to be hinting at imminent announcements that Pokemon and Pikmin fans will want to keep an eye on.
The clock is always ticking in these games, whether you know it or not.
Sink or swim.
Well, that was unexpected...
Nintendo making a new IP? Hell hath frozen over.
