Pikmin Bloom Celebrates 3.5 Years with Nostalgic Nintendo Console Event

Pikmin Bloom is all set to celebrate its 3.5th anniversary next month, and Niantic is pulling out all the stops by bringing back some nostalgic gadgets to the game. The festivities are set to start with a brand new event 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 a variety of fun decorations, from Pikmin adorned with Mahjong Tiles to those sporting Playing Cards. For its 3.5th anniversary, Pikmin Bloom is taking us back to the classic era with Nintendo game consoles from the 80s and 90s.

Adding to the nostalgia, a new Playing Card (Clubs Suit) Decor Pikmin is being introduced. This is a tribute to Nintendo’s origins in the playing card industry before they ventured into video games. The designs of these cards are inspired by Nintendo’s vintage playing card decks.

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

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

Pikmin Bloom 3.5th Anniversary Also Brings Big Flowers in May

The May flowers in Pikmin Bloom can transform into carnations, sweet peas, lilies of the valley, freesias, canola flowers, or anniversary roses when you plant red, yellow, white, or blue petals around them.

There's also an exciting nectar update for May. Fruit obtained from mushrooms will provide nectar not only for regular flowers but also for special ones like carnations, sweet peas, lilies of the valley, freesias, canola flowers, and anniversary roses.

Alongside these updates, there will be other exciting events, including Community Day. Make sure to download Pikmin Bloom from the Google Play Store and get ready to join in the 3.5th anniversary celebrations.
