Back in March, Nintendo and Niantic announced an untitled Pikmin mobile game that would be the first in a series of apps developed together. It was supposed to make walking more fun while using Niantic’s AR technology. Today, both companies finally revealed Pikmin Bloom (Free) and it is out now in Australia and Singapore. Pikmin Bloom has you walking to grow more Pikmin with more joining your squad as you walk more. Collecting flowers from your Pikmin’s heads and planting them as you walk will make flowers bloom as well. At the end of the day, you see your step count and path with pictures to remind you of the day with your memories being logged. Watch the Pikmin Bloom launch trailer below:

Pikmin Bloom will have a monthly Community Day event as well and more details for the first one will be revealed soon on the official Pikmin Bloom Twitter and Instagram accounts. As of now, you can download Pikmin Bloom for free on the App Store for iOS here and Google Play for Android here in Australia and Singapore. It will roll out globally in the coming days. Pikmin Bloom is free to play with in app purchases. Considering how the Pikmin brand is stronger than ever thanks to the Nintendo Switch enhanced release of the Wii U game in the form of Pikmin 3 Deluxe, it is going to be interesting to see how Pikmin Bloom does globally. What do you think of Pikmin Bloom so far?
