First released on the Wii U, Pikmin 3 now makes its way to the Nintendo Switch as a Deluxe version. You will soon be able to command on the go a crew of three explorers and a Pikmin squad to solve puzzles and battle critters as you help your team in its quest for survival .

​

The Switch version comes with all the Mission mode DLC stages from the original game’s release as well as some enhancements. These include the ability to play the whole Story mode in co-op, new side-story missions which can also be played in co-op, new difficulty options, lock-on targeting, optional hints and the choice to play at a more relaxed pace.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe launches on the Nintendo Switch this October 30th.

Omg yet again another recycled old port.

Nah, old ports would be for gamecube games, which would be pretty amazing actually since they're insanely rare and expensive to find.
Path of Radiance / Radiant Dawn collection ... plz plz

Yet another good game saved from WiiU jail.
My port wish-list grows ever smaller.

 

[EmanueleBGN]

How big is the game on Switch?

6.5 GB

I really like the pikmin games, but I don't like the time management aspect. I know it's a big part of the game, but I just want to relax and enjoy it and do everything that needs to be done.
So I played all three games with cheats to stop the time from advancing, much more enjoyable for me personally. Nice to slow down and appreciate the views, rather than rush and worry! It's still a challenge.


I think I read they are making a 4th one...? I bet re-releasing 3 is part of the plan

Been literal years since Miyamoto's claims towards that, so yeah. There's plenty ground on this one...

there is already a 4 pikmin game and people missed it its on the 3ds
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey!_Pikmin

preety sure this was what myamoto was talking about, since it was released like 6 months after he said that more or less so yeah there is a 4 game, just not the one people expected. now we need pikmin 5.


So the only good wiiu exclusive first party title besides hd remasters is mario 3d world, i bet its coming out soon too, there is no reason to not release it tbh.

This year is so weak for the Switch. For the first time ever, and I've been at this since the GB/GBA days, I am considering selling my current Nintendo portable.

 

[peteruk]

The lack of Mario not being mentioned by Nintendo has me worrying now, was so excited for sm3dw and the HD versions

 

[Drak0rex]

And still no Xenoblade Chronicles X

 

[velgis]

I'm so glad we get the Piklopedia for 3 now; I'm stoked as hell and Pikmin 3 was one of the best games on Wii U (obviously subjective). If you guys haven't played 1 or 2, 3 is quite self contained and is a great place to start.

Also I refuse to acknowledge Hey! Pikmin as Pikmin 4 I will cry if this is what Miyamoto meant.

 

[Bladexdsl]

nintendo should rename the switch to: THE PORT

 

[Imparasite]

recycle game again from old failed console. still better than nothing

 

[Hanafuda]

Omg yet again another recycled old port.

That hardly anyone ever played because it was on Wii U.

I'm ecstatic. We have the game and a Wii U, but I've still not played it. It's my daughter's Wii U, so I didn't get a lot of time on it. I do have a Switch now that's mine, and I'm very happy they're porting this game. Think I'll spend the next couple months replaying Pikmin 1 & 2.

Did I just hear Arlo scream in the wind?
*badummm tsss

But great to see this happen ... FINALLY.

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Glad this isn't stuck on the Wii U now. All we need now is Mario 3D World and all the good games on it will be ported.

We all know "good" is subjective but:

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water
Game & Wario
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Twilight Princess HD
The Wind Waker HD
Paper Mario: Color Splash
Splatoon
Star Fox Guard
Star Fox Zero
Ultimate NES Remix Pack
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Yoshi's Woolly World

 

[Rail Fighter]

Remember when this one came for free with a new Mario Kart?

How does it compare to the other two? I loved the first one but not so much the second.

The first one stands as the best one. 3 is more similar to it than 2, but not as good, kind of muzzy.

first i dont consider hd remasters to be labeled wiiu ports, becuase they are gc games so if they came to the switch they would just be another gc remasters rather than a wiiu port imo.

yoshi woolly world/nes remix already got a port to 3ds with more content so i doubt it will see a switch port imo.

splatton is basicaly a multiplayer online game and with splatton 2 just being so very close why would anyone pay 60$ for a last gen multiplayer port on the same system which the sequel exists and has everything it had and more? doesnt make sence.

for me the possible final switch deluxe titles would be
xenoblade chronicles X
mario 3d world

No paper mario game was ever remade/ported to any console before so colo splash has less chances of happening than a full remake of the first paper mario imo, the rest of those games were terrible games that sold badly and wouldnt make any money specialy at 60$ imo.

 

[Graxer]

Yoshi's Wooly World, and the two Zelda remakes and I will have everything I want... oh and 3D World, but that is almost certainly happening anyway.

 

[HaloEffect17]

If you own it Play it now.
If you don't own wait for the switch version.

I tried the first Pikmin, and didn't really dig it. It's a series of acquired taste for sure.

 

[Imancol]

Wow last the life of Nintendo Switch wishing for this moment ... with this I will be able to complete the catalog of this game and one less reason to acquire a Wii U.

 

[Agusto101]

Yeah, I knew it, it was very obvious

 

[Jayro]

Omg yet again another recycled old port.

You'd think they'd be tired of backhanding us Wii U owners in the face by now, and running out of Wii U games to port over, but I guess not. Literally nobody wants this... We wanted Pikmin 4.
