Pikmin 3 Deluxe Delivers New Missions, Cooperative Play Options and All Previous DLC
REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 5, 2020 – At the far reaches of space lies a
mysterious yet oddly familiar alien world … filled with cute creatures, hidden surprises and larger-than-life fun.
Clear a landing zone, because the Pikmin
3 Deluxe game is headed to the
Nintendo Switch
family of systems on Oct. 30. Pikmin 3 originally launched on
Wii U, and now it’s making the leap to Nintendo Switch with new content,
more options for cooperative play and a range of settings that make it
easy for newcomers to jump in. These tiny Pikmin
are ready to make your acquaintance in their biggest adventure yet, so
take a peek at your Pikmin platoon in
the game’s debut trailer.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe
isn’t
your garden-variety adventure. Command a crew of three explorers and a
squad of adorable Pikmin in a quest for survival packed
with puzzles to solve and copious critters to battle. After a
crash-landing, you’ll explore a variety of lush environments, such as
the snow-covered Distant Tundra, the Twilight River and the Garden of
Hope, all teeming with wondrous and formidable lifeforms.
“Pikmin 3 Deluxe
brings this classic franchise to life on Nintendo Switch, introducing a
new audience to its beloved characters and gameplay,
while also welcoming back returning players with new challenges,” said
Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and
Marketing. “With
Pikmin 3 Deluxe, the Nintendo Switch library of software continues to grow with a variety of games for everyone to discover and enjoy.”
Pikmin 3 Deluxe
delivers a full suite of additions and enhancements, including the
ability to play the whole Story mode in co-op with a friend, new
side-story missions which can also be played in co-op and all the
Mission mode DLC stages from the original game’s release.
With new difficulty options, lock-on targeting, optional hints and the
choice to play at a more relaxed pace, it’s easier than ever to join in
on the Pikmin fun, enjoy the game’s beautiful scenery and get a taste of
what this vibrant world has to offer. Fun
features from the original game also return in Pikmin 3 Deluxe,
such as the in-game camera, which allows players to snap photos of the
game’s lush environments and curious creatures from a pint-sized
perspective.
With
a number of Pikmin to befriend and command, you’ll have a willing team
at your disposal to tackle whatever
obstacles you face. Different colored Pikmin offer a variety of helpful
abilities and strengths for your missions. For example, Blue Pikmin can
breathe underwater, helping you collect items other Pikmin can’t reach,
while Winged Pikmin, distinguished by their
pink hues and fluttering wings, can fly over terrain such as water and
pits. Strategically selecting the right Pikmin for the task at hand,
delegating projects and changing between captains can help secure
victory.
For seasoned players who are ready to deploy their Pikmin-plucking skills in some new challenges,
Pikmin 3 Deluxe adds new side-story missions featuring Olimar and
Louie exploring planet PNF-404. And for a bit of friendly
Pikmin-flinging fun, there are even head-to-head multiplayer matches
available in Bingo Battle.
Your large team of small Pikmin are ready to join you as you embark on a giant adventure! To learn more information about
