Nintendo Switch fans rejoice!  Pikmin 4 is here!

 

The fourth iteration of the game has returned – this time with a new furry friend. Help the small but mighty plantlike creatures grow, guide and gather their way through a mysterious planet with your dependable partner Oatchi! Along the way, you’ll be tasked with overpowering enemies, leading your team through dangerous situations and exploring new paths in search of your crew – and treasure.

Meet Pikmin: small, plantlike creatures with distinct abilities that you can grow, pluck, guide, and overpower enemies with! Use your Pikmin’s miniature might (and a bit of strategy) to explore this mysterious planet in search of your crew—and treasure. To succeed, you’ll have to balance caring for the Pikmin with leading them into dangerous situations. 

Grow

Pikmin grow from pellets and wildlife that you can bring to your ship. Pluck them from the ground to have them join you. 

Guide

Lead your squad through vast explorable areas to find treasures, discover new paths, and battle enemies of all sizes. You can also direct the Pikmin to collect and carry resources that are helpful for your mission. Up to three Pikmin types can be with you in the field at a time—the rest will hang back until you need them.

Gather

When their task is done, the Pikmin will wait in place for you. Get close and blow your whistle to summon them to your side! This handy action can also help you protect the Pikmin from danger, do a headcount, or simply bring them with you to your next task.

Customize your own explorer and lead the charge each day to find your crew and fix the Rescue Corps ship, the S.S. Shepherd. If you have been playing Pikmin all along or are new to the franchise, you are sure to love this adorably fun game!
