Pikmin Bloom Celebrates 3.5 Years with Classic Nintendo Console Theme

Pikmin Bloom is set to celebrate its 3.5th anniversary next month, and Niantic is bringing back some nostalgic gadgets to mark the occasion. The festivities will kick off with an exciting event starting on May 1st, 2025.

The Update Is a Cool Throwback to the Good Old Nintendo Days!

Over the years, Pikmin Bloom has delighted us with various fun decorations, such as Pikmin adorned with Mahjong Tiles and Playing Cards. For its 3.5th anniversary, the game is bringing back classic Nintendo game consoles from the 80s and 90s.

Additionally, a new Playing Card (Clubs Suit) Decor Pikmin will be introduced. This is a tribute to Nintendo's early days when they were primarily known for producing playing cards before venturing into video games. The designs of these cards are inspired by Nintendo's vintage playing card decks.

The event will run from May 1st until May 31st, 2025, offering you a full month to engage in missions and collect unique new Pikmin. Completing Event Challenge missions will reward you with random items like Game Button Cells, seedlings that can grow into Nintendo Consoles ‘80-‘95 Decor Pikmin, and flower petals.

During the event, Brilliant Mushrooms will appear. Destroying these mushrooms will yield Mystery Boxes containing items such as Game Button Cells, flower petals, and more. The Nintendo Consoles ‘80-‘95 or Playing Card Decor Pikmin are particularly effective at taking down these mushrooms.

Pikmin Bloom 3.5th Anniversary Also Brings Big Flowers in May

In May, the big flowers in Pikmin Bloom can bloom into a variety of beautiful blooms including carnations, sweet peas, lilies of the valley, freesias, canola flowers, or anniversary roses, depending on whether you plant red, yellow, white, or blue petals around them.

A new nectar update will also be implemented, so that fruits obtained from mushrooms during May will provide nectar for regular flowers as well as special ones like carnations, sweet peas, lilies of the valley, freesias, canola flowers, and anniversary roses.

There are many other exciting activities planned, including a Community Day. Be sure to download Pikmin Bloom from the Google Play Store and get ready for the 3.5th anniversary celebration.
