Product Description
Grow a squad of adorable, plantlike Pikmin to traverse a strange world and save your planet
Command a capable crop of different types of Pikmin™ to strategically overcome obstacles, defeat creatures, and find food for your famished home planet! You can even bring a second player along to divvy up tasks as you explore a world that seems larger than life from a pint-sized perspective.
Pikmin at your pace
Return to your ship before time runs out, or you (and your Pikmin) could be in big trouble. If you prefer a more casual approach, a variety of difficulty settings, lock-on targeting and optional hints have been newly added. With less pressure, you have more time to strategically command your Pikmin and take in the lush scenery.
Play side-story missions, head-to-head matches and more!
This deluxe version of the Pikmin 3 game includes new side-story missions featuring Olimar and Louie, the ability to play Story mode with a friend and all DLC stages from the original release. Feeling competitive? Enjoy fierce head-to-head Bingo Battles against another player!
Three brave explorers land on planet PNF-404 on a mission to find food for their starving home planet. After a crash landing, these explorers must work with Pikmin to complete their mission.
Direct, toss and grow Pikmin with different abilities and strengths—winged Pikmin can fly, while blue Pikmin can breathe underwater.
When you aren’t busy collecting fruit and saving your planet, try out Mission mode to accomplish set requirements like defeating enemies or collecting items, or play the multiplayer mode Bingo Battle.
Download the Nintendo eShop demo to sample Story mode, Mission mode, and even explore together with a second player! Your progress will even transfer to the full game, once purchased. As an added bonus, defeating the first boss in the demo and transferring save-data to the full version of the game will immediately unlock the “Ultra-Spicy” difficulty option for the full game.

If you are looking for a game with a very long story or a single experience that you finish once that is worth your money, you may not want this game, as its Story Mode is short. Think of it more like an Arcade experience of a Short-n-Sweet adventure that could easily be replayed for years to come. Again, a great title to anyone's Switch collection!
For reference, he's been playing the switch for over a year and is accomplished at Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros, Mario Party, Pokemon, and all the Kirby games. He has a little trouble with Crash, Spyro, Splatoon, and (winning) Mario Kart. He doesn't understand Mario Maker at all. If your kid is along the same skill-level, they would probably enjoy it. There are nuances that make it fun for older players too.
The only downside is that my kid goes 100 on his interests and also wants toys of the games he likes. Pikmin toys are hard to find and can be very expensive. (I got a red Pikmin, blue pikmin, and Olamar for about $40 on eBay, out of box.) This probably won't be a concern unless you anticipate needing a Pikmin Birthday party or Halloween costume- you'll have to get creative!
I would give it a full 5 stars but they really didn't add that much to the game. The biggest thing was co-op campaign mode which they clearly had support for in Pikmin 3 on the wii-U so I can't give them points for including a feature that should have already been there.
They added a mini-story about Olimar and Louie which was basically just a few added missions from mission mode. And they MIGHT have added more missions, it's been a long time since I played the original and I'm not actually sure about that.
Everything else about the game is pretty much the same. It looks like the majority of their effort was spent porting it over to the switch. The controls are a bit more confusing without the wii-U pad but they made them work for the most part.
Since they didn't really add that much more content, I would've expected more quality of life changes but there are still quite a few issues.
- Dividing pikmin up between both players in co-op mode is pretty difficult. We were always accidentally stealing each others pikmin, especially during boss fights.
- If you pull a player into your squad, they follow behind but it's pretty janky and they keep making annoying sounds.
- You can chop the monsters by yourself but in this version, the chop doesn't always seem to activate.
- The pikmin desync sometimes, where they just stop following you for a few seconds. This seems to happen pretty frequently in mission mode.
- Blue pikmin will shoot off in random directions out of the water when trying to fight enemies.
- All pikmin shoot off piles of buried stuff rather than starting to dig sometimes.
- When locking onto a monster, purple pikmin tend to land right in front of them and get eaten rather than latching on. And the squash effect is just gone now?
I also would have liked being able to choose between the characters in the various modes. Like maybe being able to choose Olimar or Louie in subsequent story playthroughs or something.
All in all I still recommend this to anyone and everyone. Pikmin is a fantastic series and Pikmin 3 is probably the best addition so far. I only deducted a star because the "Deluxe" version wasn't all that "Deluxe"
