Join Alph, Brittany and Captain Charlie as they lead a squad of tenaciously cute Pikmin in a quest for survival on a mysterious planet. Explore lush environments full of wondrous lifeforms to discover, playful puzzles to solve and huge critters to defeat in battle. From the snow-covered Distant Tundra to the untamed wild of the Twilight River, your curiosity and tactical teamwork will help you overcome adversity and collect food for your home planet.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe brings a range of enhancements to the game in its Nintendo Switch debut, including the ability to play Story mode in co-op with a friend. This time, the adventure will also feature new side-story missions starring the characters Louie and Olimar, along with all the Mission mode DLC stages from the original game’s release.

With new difficulty options, lock-on targeting, optional hints, the Piklopedia and the choice to play at a more relaxed pace, it’s more inviting than ever to dive into all the fun the world of Pikmin has to offer. The in-game camera also returns in Pikmin 3 Deluxe, which allows you to take pictures of the game’s curious creatures and detailed environments so you can easily share your monumental discoveries with others.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe is now available at a suggested retail price of $59.99. There’s also a free demo in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch. Save data from the demo version will carry over to the full version of the game, once purchased. Calling all Pikmin pros: Defeating the first boss in the demo and transferring your save data to the full version of the game will immediately unlock the Ultra-Spicy difficulty option for the full game!
