Originally published on Nintendo Castle.

Nintendo surprised us this month with the return of our little friends from the fan favorite Pikmin series. Now with even more features than the Wii U release, Pikmin 3 Deluxe was announced for Nintendo Switch!
Pikmin 3 was originally released on Wii U in 2013 showing us a brand new adventure with three new characters: Alph, Brittany, and Charlie. Now the Switch will be receiving a definitive version on October 30th of this year, featuring all Pikmin 3 content plus the DLC and more.
The trailer teased us with some of the new features, here's what we know so far:
- Two Player Co-Op: you can use the help of a second player in your journey to divvy up tasks as you explore the huge world of PNF-404 that awaits!
- New Adventures: play side-story missions featuring Olimar and Louie and all the DLC stages from the original release.
- Gameplay Improvements: expanded exploration, enhanced targeting systems, difficulty modes, and more!
- Piklopedia: wanting to know more insights about the Pikmin world? Get into this new encyclopedia full of unique perspectives on each creature you come across in the world of Pikmin.
- Bingo Battle: if you want a more competitive multiplayer option than the co-op story, there's a new bingo battle mode. Face off in this bingo battle using all the characters featured in the game.
- Mission Mode: online leaderboards are the focus here: each mission contains a particular goal. You can compare your times and rankings with your friends and others.
We have a rather short trailer, it's currently unknown if there are additional features coming to this remaster. Stay tuned for further news to find out. Pikmin 3 Deluxe will be released on October 30th for Nintendo Switch.
