Pikmin 4's Switch 2 Edition brings some welcome upgrades to the original game, but whether they're worth the cost depends on your love for Pikmin.
While Mario might be the face of Nintendo, there’s no doubt that Pikmin also holds a special place in Shigeru Miyamoto's heart, as evidenced by the recent Pikmin Day Nintendo Direct. Although there is still no word that we’ll be getting Pikmin 5 anytime soon, Pikmin 4 is thankfully getting some new features to help tide players over as part of the Pikmin 4 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition plus Dandori Academy.
Whether you’ve already played the original and are considering the $10 upgrade pack, or never picked it up and are thinking about grabbing the full Switch 2 Edition now, it’s important to know what to expect. Switch 2 Editions aren’t a new idea, as several games have already received the same treatment, but no two have been exactly alike.
Tears of the Kingdom’s Switch 2 Edition reduced load times and introduced compatibility with the Zelda Notes app. Meanwhile, games like Mario Party Jamboree received an entirely new game mode that utilized the Switch 2’s exclusive features. Pikmin 4’s Switch 2 Edition falls somewhere between those two.
Pikmin 4 was already a decent-looking game when it released on the original Switch, so it should come as no surprise that even though it displays in 4K when docked, there’s no truly noticeable difference in visuals between the Switch 2 Edition and just playing the original version on your Switch 2.
