Description
Guide plantlike Pikmin on an enhanced expedition!
Meet Pikmin: small, plantlike creatures you can grow, pluck, guide, and send into battle with creatures multiple times their size! These loyal, curious helpers come in different types, including fire-resistant Red Pikmin, Ice Pikmin that can freeze bodies of water, and Glow Pikmin that can light the way forward at night. The fate of your Pikmin is yours to decide!
Create and customise your own pint-sized explorer and traverse a world that is teeming with life. See everyday objects from a whole new perspective as you explore a planet that seems larger than life, now enhanced with high-resolution visuals for Nintendo Switch 2.
You also have a dependable partner by your side. Oatchi, your space dog companion, can help smash obstacles, carry you and your Pikmin, and now respond to voice commands through the Nintendo Switch 2 system microphone.
