Product Overview
Product Description
Command an adorable army of plant creatures to survive, explore, and solve puzzles in Pikmin 3 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch, an enhanced version of the beloved Wii U strategy game featuring all previous DLC, a fully co-operative story mode for two players, new Prologue and Epilogue chapters, improved controls with motion and button options, and a beautifully detailed alien planet waiting to be discovered.
Full Co-Op Story Mode for Two
Two players cooperate through the entire story campaign simultaneously, splitting Pikmin control to tackle multi-objective missions more efficiently and sharing the discovery of every alien fruit and region together.
New Prologue and Epilogue Chapters
Exclusive new story chapters featuring Brittany and Alph expand the narrative with events before and after the main story, adding plot context and additional gameplay for players who completed the original Wii U version.
All DLC Stages Included
Every original Mission Mode and Battle Mode stage from the Wii U DLC is included in the base game, providing substantial additional challenges on top of the main story campaign without additional purchase.
Motion and Button Control Options
Players choose between intuitive pointer-based motion controls using Joy-Con or precise analogue stick controls, accommodating both newcomers and veterans with flexible input preferences for every playstyle.
Five Distinct Pikmin Types
Red, Yellow, Blue, Rock, and Winged Pikmin each possess unique combat, environmental interaction, and traversal properties that must be managed strategically to survive each day's challenges and collect every fruit.
Time-Pressure Resource Management
Each in-game day ends at sunset, forcing players to return all Pikmin to safety and optimise every daylight hour across multiple simultaneous objectives, creating satisfying strategic tension throughout every mission.
Lock-On Tactical Control System
Lock-on targeting and throw-command queuing allow precise Pikmin deployment against specific enemies and objects, giving experienced players fine tactical control over multi-group operations in complex battle situations.
Beautifully Detailed Alien World
The alien planet's lush environments are rendered with impressive visual detail on Nintendo Switch, with giant fruits, insects, and ruins providing a sense of scale that makes the Pikmin themselves feel endearingly tiny.
