These bits come fromPersonaseries director Katsura Hashino writing in “Persona Magazine #2016 March,” as translated byGematsu....
It seems the way it goes is that you either lovedPikminor had no reaction to it whatsoever, which seems to me like a sad thing considering what a cool game it is. If you’re in the former group, you’ll surely be thrilled at the sight of these Pikmin plushies thatGoNintendospotted in the Nintendo World store.
