I feel like that is the 100x time repeating this. No, hey pikmin and pikmin 4 are not the same game. Hey pikmin was developed by Arzest wich is a 3rd developer. The pikmin team with Shigeru Miayamoto are working on a core brand new pikmin game. I cant wait for the official announcement so this debate end once for all.
