'''''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''''' is the title of the newest entry in the {{ps}}. It is an enhanced port of {{p3}}, set to release for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on {{date|30|October|2020}}.

== Changes from ''Pikmin 3'' ==
The following differences between {{p3}} and the ''Deluxe'' version are known:

=== Gameplay ===
[[File:P3DX Promo Screenshot 6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|2-player gameplay in Story Mode.]]
* There are multiple difficulty modes to choose from.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1291014126924255233|Nintendo of America|Twitter|published={{date|5|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|5|August|2020}}|rname=noa_tweet}}
* Players can play through story mode cooperatively.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/1291011591706759168|Nintendo of UK|Twitter|published={{date|5|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|5|August|2020}}|rname=nouk_tweet}}
* The [[lock-on]] system has been substantially changed.{{cite web|https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch/Pikmin-3-Deluxe-1821101.html|Pikmin 3 Deluxe|Nintendo UK's product listing|retrieved={{date|5|August|2020}}|rname=nouk_listing}}
** Arrow icons appear above objects that can be locked-on to, and the cursor can go to them by pressing {{button|switch|zr}}.{{cite youtube|vdrRST_36oU|demonstrating how throwing works|published={{date|18|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|28|August|2020}}|rname=jp_site_throw}}
** When locked-on to an object that can be carried, the carrying numbers can display "0" if there are no carriers.{{cite youtube|hJcbMY1JbCg|demonstrating the sunset sequence|published={{date|18|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|28|August|2020}}|rname=jp_site_sunset}}
* [[Charging]] has been changed.
** It is now possible to order only Pikmin from a certain type in the group to charge.{{cite youtube|hSujRBzq9QE|demonstrating group control|published={{date|18|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|28|August|2020}}|rname=jp_site_group}}
** It is possible to charge ahead in the direction of the [[cursor]] without being locked-on.{{cite youtube|USUnZMZKYY0|demonstrating a fight against the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]]|published={{date|18|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|28|August|2020}}|rname=jp_site_crawmad}}
* Some controls have been moved into a mini menu that takes the shape of a D-pad. With this, the player can swap to the previous or next leader, use a [[spray]], or [[dismiss]]. It appears that the leaders available in this menu are sorted by priority left to right &ndash; Alph will always take the left spot, Captain Charlie will always take the right one, and Brittany will always be in the remaining spot.{{cite youtube|rname=jp_site_group}}
* The player can change the standby Pikmin type both to the previous one and to the next one. The HUD is also changed to reflect this: the three Pikmin standby type bubbles now have a focus on the central one as opposed to the leftmost one.{{cite youtube|rname=jp_site_group}}
* If the player swaps to an inactive leader that's surrounded by idle Pikmin, all of those idle Pikmin will be added to that leader's group right away.{{cite youtube|rname=jp_site_group}}
* The whistle expands quicker, can reach farther, and can cover a much larger area.{{cite youtube|rname=jp_site_crawmad}}
* Plucking is slightly faster in certain scenes.{{cite web|https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/ampna/material/mov/pullout.mp4|Video demonstrating plucking|the official Japanese website|retrieved={{date|29|August|2020}}|rname=jp_site_pluck}}
* Enemies have been re-balanced.{{cite web|rname=nouk_listing}}
* Hints can be enabled, which can display arrows that guide the player to the next destination.{{cite web|https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/article/cf7a50af-03e5-4b49-bff4-0db5fbc3b3cc|『ピクミン３』がデラックスになってNintendo Switchに登場。新要素を収録し、10月30日発売決定。|Nintendo of Japan|retrieved={{date|5|August|2020}}|rname=japanese_official_topic}}
* The title screen shows the logo for ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' rather than ''Pikmin 3'', naturally, but to open the main menu, the player must press two shoulder buttons on the controller together instead of pressing a face button.

=== Content ===
* There are new side stories to play through.{{cite web|rname=noa_tweet}}
** The first side story is set before the main story and is called "Olimar's Assignment", while the second is set after the main story. They star [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Louie]], who are both playable in at least one. Like the main story, these can be played in single-player or cooperatively with two players.
* The [[Piklopedia]] originating from {{p2}} has been added.{{cite web|rname=noa_tweet}}
** Each entry contains a comment by each of the five [[leader]]s, some way of seeing the creature, a general list of habitats, and the amount killed throughout the adventure.
* All the [[downloadable content]] from {{p3}} is included in the base game.{{cite web|rname=noa_tweet}}
* Players can collect badges by meeting certain conditions, such as the "Animal Annotator" badge for logging 10 Piklopedia entries.{{cite web|rname=noa_tweet}}

=== Graphics ===
[[File:P3DX Prerelease Bulborb Targeting.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A new HUD and stripes on the dirt wall.]]
* The introduction [[cutscene]] displays ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' instead of ''Pikmin 3''.{{cite youtube|wbEsKXcFA4M|of the introduction cutscene|published={{date|18|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|29|August|2020}}|rname=jp_site_intro}}
* There is a mini-map on-screen.{{cite web|https://pikmin3.nintendo.com/|Pikmin™ 3 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch™ – Official Site|Nintendo's official website|retrieved={{date|5|August|2020}}|rname=official_site}}
** The style of the mini-map differs from the Wii U game's [[radar]], in that it uses solid colors instead of textures -- terrain is dark blue, water is a lighter blue, [[out of bounds]] locations are black, and walls are cyan. Leaders and the [[S.S. Drake]] also have stylized icons with minimalist drawings, instead of smaller versions of their portraits.
* The [[HUD#Day|day counter]] is gone from the HUD, and the juice counter takes its place.
* Two on-screen prompts exist, informing the player that {{button|switch|-}} toggles the [[KopPad]], and "up" on {{button|switch|pad}} activates hints. The hint button is not always present.
* Text in dialog boxes in cutscenes is aligned to the center of the box instead of the left.{{cite youtube|aSSQ0Z6eDhU|of the announcement trailer|published={{date|5|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|5|August|2020}}|rname=announcement_trailer}}
* Lighting and shading have been changed, with sharper shadows and clearer water.
* Locking onto an object adds a blue overlay, similar to [[Pikmin 3 prerelease information|prerelease versions of ''Pikmin 3'']].
* Choosing a level in [[Mission Mode]] displays its name and time limit at the bottom of the screen.{{cite web|rname=japanese_official_topic}}
* The borders of Mission Mode levels are gray before they're played, and all stages are available from the start.{{cite web|rname=japanese_official_topic}}
* The [[Puffy Blowhog]]'s wind particles are much more dense.{{cite youtube|HNBj0mAHxSY|demonstrating a fight against a Puffy Blowhog|published={{date|18|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|28|August|2020}}|rname=jp_site_puffy}}
* Different gates in an area have different appearances, so players can distinguish between them.
** [[Dirt wall]]s have different variants of stripes on their pillars, including horizontal{{cite web|rname=noa_tweet}}, vertical, wave-shaped, X-shaped{{cite youtube|rname=jp_site_group}}, diagonal, and none at all.{{cite youtube|WNuVrbUCeqM|a Japanese promotional video|published={{date|28|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|28|August|2020}}|rname=jp_promo}}
** [[Crystal wall]]s have different variants of metal, including normal{{cite youtube|rname=jp_site_group}}, rusted, and silver.{{cite youtube|rname=jp_site_throw}}
** [[Electric gate]]s have different variants of stripes on their pillars, including no stripes{{cite youtube|rname=jp_site_group}}, two stripes{{cite web|rname=jp_site_pluck}}, and stripes on top.{{cite youtube|rname=jp_site_throw}}

=== Area differences ===
[[File:P3DX Prerelease Map Twilight River.jpg|thumb|right|200px|This map shows new grass in the Twilight River, as well as giving the player tips on the locations of fragments.]]
* The ground of the shore to the north of the landing site in [[Twilight River]] has grass, instead of decayed leaves and dirt.{{cite web|rname=japanese_official_topic}}

* The two [[data file]]s in the [[Armored Mawdad]] arena are out in the open, rather than inside mushrooms.{{cite youtube|rname=announcement_trailer}}
* The ground texture under the water in the pond where Alph lands is simpler.{{cite youtube|jEuCqq-ntwI|comparing ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''|published={{date|14|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|19|August|2020}}|rname=loot_pots_comparison}}
* Some decal textures, like pebbles or petals on the floor, have been slightly readjusted.{{cite youtube|rname=loot_pots_comparison}}
* The ground near the dirt wall next to the landing site in the [[Tropical Wilds]] is grass, instead of sand.{{cite youtube|rname=jp_promo}}
* [[Nectar egg]]s can be found behind the cinder block that blocks the Blue Onion in the [[Garden of Hope]].{{cite youtube|rname=jp_site_group}}
* The southern half of Garden of Hope is comprised of dark mud and wet dirt, rather than the dry, lighter surface of the original.{{cite youtube|rname=jp_site_crawmad}}{{cite youtube|rname=jp_promo}}

== History ==
''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' was first announced in a tweet by Nintendo of America on {{date|5|August|2020}}.{{cite web|rname=noa_tweet}} The announcement came with a promotional trailer,{{cite youtube|rname=announcement_trailer}} and a relaunch of the official website with limited information.{{cite web|rname=official_site}} The Japanese announcement came in the form of a news article on the Nintendo website.{{cite web|rname=japanese_official_topic}} The game was also listed on the Nintendo eShop on this date, and could be pre-downloaded.

On {{date|28|August|2020}}, the official Japanese website was launched, with subpages on backstory, basic gameplay, Pikmin types, combat, and structure.{{cite web|https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/ampna/index.html|Official Japanese website|Nintendo of Japan|published={{date|28|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|30|August|2020}}|rname=jp_official_website}} These pages had several images and short videos that showed some changed mechanics. The new website also came with a trailer, which showcased the different types of Pikmin.{{cite web|rname=jp_promo}} The website at this point had 3 header and footer links with a 'coming soon' message, with titles that implied that they were about the new difficulty modes, the side stories and Piklopedia, and the additional game modes of Mission Mode and Bingo Battle.

On the day of the announcement, the product page in Nintendo of America's website listed that the supported features were save data cloud and online play, in that order. Throughout the following days, this listing would get changed periodically. Around {{date|9|August}}, the order was reversed, and around {{date|14|August}}, online play was removed. On {{date|19|August}}, it was noticed that the online play blurb had returned, but on {{date|22|August}}, it was nowhere to be seen again.{{cite web|https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/pikmin-3-deluxe-switch/|''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' listing page|Wayback Machine}}{{cite web|https://twitter.com/haylsho/status/1296368963979534336|Twitter post|Twitter|published={{date|20|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|22|August|2020}}}}
