Singapore Is The First Country To Experience Niantic & Nintendo’s Pikmin-based Mobile Application

What would it be like to have a fun walking experience surrounded by Pikmin?

AR technology company Niantic, Inc.(HQ: San Francisco, CA USA; CEO: John Hanke ) and Nintendo Co., Ltd. (HQ: Kyoto Minami-ku; Representative Director and President: Shuntaro Furukawa) are partnering together to jointly develop apps that combine Niantic’s real-world AR technology with Nintendo’s beloved characters.

The first title the two companies are developing together is based on the Pikmin franchise, with gameplay activities designed to encourage walking and make the activity more enjoyable. This application is scheduled to launch globally later in 2021, with Niantic as the publisher.

To prepare for the official launch later this year, this “Pikmin-themed new app” is available from today only in Singapore as its first test market. Please try the new walking experience with Pikmin. You can register at www.nianticlabs.com/newappsignup. We appreciate your feedback!
