Interestingly, it turns out Pikmin 4 is made using Unreal Engine 4, rather than Nintendo's in-house tech.

I wonder if this could signal Nintendo shifting away from using their own proprietary engines for first party software.

Metroid Prime was on a customized version of UE, Yoshi's Crafted World also was on UE it's something they've been exploring for some time I think as far back as the WiiU they indicated looking into UE to speed up development and output for certain titles.

The difference is that Crafted World was developed by an external studio, Good Feel, not Nintendo themselves, while Pikmin 4 appears to be internally developed.

Prime uses RUDE, Retro's in-house engine.
