Do you think we're gonna see Pikmin 4 this year?

it's not outside the realm of possibility, but what i'm saying is why would Miyamoto again in 2017 mention that Pikmin 4 is in development when Hey! Pikmin had already been announced if he meant it was the 3DS game

why would he not just say "Hey! Pikmin is the Pikmin game I was referring to back in 2015", instead he specifically mentioned again for the second time that there's a Pikmin 4 in development back in 2017 

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-06-14-miyamoto-pikmin-4-still-progressing

this article was from june 2017 where as Hey! Pikmin came out in July of that year 

i'm not saying it's impossible that pikmin 4 was actually Hey! Pikmin, just that based off of what Miyamoto has said he indicates that it wasn't 

Erm, the very article you linked shows they are two seperate games and thus Hey Pikmin somehow being mistakingly called Pikmin 4 repeatedly isn't even a possibility. 

Yeah that's true, guess I mixed that up a bit there.
