Changes from Pikmin 3

The following differences between Pikmin 3 and the Deluxe version are known:

Gameplay

Co-op gameplay.
  • There are multiple difficulty modes to choose from.[1]
  • Players can play through story mode cooperatively.[2]
  • The lock-on system has been enhanced.[3]
  • Enemies have been re-balanced.[3]
  • The player can enable hints, which can display arrows that guide the player to the next destination.[4]

Content

  • There are new side stories to play through.[1]
    • 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. Both star Captain Olimar and Louie. Like the main story, these can be played in single-player or cooperatively with two players.
  • The Piklopedia originating from Pikmin 2 has been added.[1]
    • Each entry contains a comment by each of the five leaders, some way of seeing the creature, a general list of habitats, and the amount killed throughout the adventure.
  • All the downloadable content from Pikmin 3 is included in the base game.[1]
  • Players can collect badges by meeting certain conditions, such as the "Animal Annotator" badge for logging 10 Piklopedia entries.[1]

Graphics

  • There is a mini-map on-screen.[5]
    • 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 day counter is gone from the HUD, and the juice counter takes its place.
  • Two on-screen prompts exist, informing the player that Custom-made icon for the - Button on the Nintendo Switch. toggles the KopPad, and "up" on Icon for the Directional Buttons on the Nintendo Switch. Edited version of the icon by ARMS Institute user PleasePleasePepper, released under CC-BY-SA 4.0. activates hints.
  • Text in dialog boxes in cutscenes is aligned to the center of the box instead of the left.[6]
  • Choosing a level in Mission Mode tells the player its name and time limit at the bottom of the screen.[7]
  • The borders of Mission Mode levels are gray instead of the original gold.[7]
  • Dirt walls have horizontal white stripes on the "pillars" holding them up.[1]

Area differences

  • The ground of the shore to the north of the landing site in Twilight River has grass, instead of decayed leaves and dirt.[4]
  • The area around the Swooping Snitchbug in the Distant Tundra has been made wider, an ice trail was added, and the nearby ramp was changed from a snow texture to a dirt one.[5]
  • The two data files in the Armored Mawdad arena are out in the open, rather than inside mushrooms.[6]
  • The ground texture under the water in the pond where Alph lands is simpler.[8]
  • Some decal textures, like pebbles or petals on the floor, have been slightly readjusted.[8]

Other information

  • Game size: 6.5 GB.
  • Supported play modes: TV, tabletop, and handheld.
  • Supports cloud save data.
  • Possibly supports online play; see here.

History

Pikmin 3 Deluxe was first announced in a tweet by Nintendo of America on August 5th, 2020.[1]

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 August 9th, the order was reversed, and around August 14th, online play was removed. On August 19th, it was noticed that the online play blurb had returned, but on August 22nd, it was nowhere to be seen again.[9][10]
