The new app from Niantic and Nintendo launches officially today!
We only just got the name for the new Niantic app inspired by the Pikmin video game series, yet the game launches globally today.
Niantic and Nintendo have teamed up to make a series of apps similar to their success of Pokemon GO and the first app is titled Pikmin Bloom, which features the plant-like creatures from the puzzle-solving game and garden strategy series, Pikmin.
Pikmin Bloom
The main aim of Pimkim Bloom is to leave a trail of flower petals behind you as you walk, to make the world a prettier place. The player will have a finite amount of petals, which can be topped up by sending Pikmin out to find and bring back fruit. This can then be fed to your Pikmin as nectar, which makes them grow new petals for you to collect.
Just like Pokemon GO, the game will encourage players to exercise more by making them go outside and walk. You can even unlock bonus content with higher step counts for shoots that hatch Decor Pikmin, who wear cute costumes. These can be tied to certain locations and businesses you might encounter.
Players will also be able to take photos on their walk and save them in their Lifelog- a dairy hat stores the number of steps you’ve taken each day.
There was already a beta version available on Test Flight in Singapore, yet today marks the official launch date for the AR app.
“For both me and everyone at Niantic, helping this app take shape has been a new experience and lots of fun. My hope is that everyone will be able to create lasting memories together with Pikmin.” – Shigeru Miyamoto, Creator of Pikmin.
Currently, Pikmin Bloom is available in Australia and Singapore on the iOS App Store and Google Play, and we can expect it to arrive in Europe soon thanks to a tweet from the official Nintendo account.
Pikmin Bloom will also be coming to Europe soon! Stay tuned for more information. https://t.co/FwBnsA1GkQ
