NINTENDO SWITCH PIKMIN 3 DELUXE

PIKMIN 3 DELUXE is a real-time strategy and puzzle video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U video game console. It is the sequel to the GameCube games Pikmin (2001) and Pikmin 2 (2004), and was released in Japan on July 13, 2013, and in all other regions within the following month. Shigeru Miyamoto announced Pikmin 3 on July 16, 2008, for the Wii console, later stating at E3 2011 that it had transitioned to Wii U.

The game builds upon existing elements of the Pikmin series, adding more player characters, Pikmin types, and support for Off-TV Play and downloadable content. In the single-player campaign, the player controls three alien captains, who explore the surface of a planet they name PNF-404 in search of cultivable fruit seeds to save their home planet, Koppai, from famine. They befriend the Pikmin who assist them in combat, solving puzzles, and amassing resources.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe, an enhanced port for the Nintendo Switch, was released on October 30, 2020. A stand-alone sequel, Hey! Pikmin, was released in 2017 for Nintendo 3DS, while a direct sequel, Pikmin 4, is set for release in July 2023 on Nintendo Switch.
