Pikmin 3 Deluxe

Revision as of 22:00, August 5, 2020 by Untitled-1 (talk | contribs) (More consistent with how other NIWA wikis categorize "Deluxe" games. Also, the graphics are clearly the same as the Wii U version, so I don't think calling Pikmin 3 Deluxe a "remaster" is accurate.)

Pikmin 3 Deluxe is the title of the newest entry in the Pikmin series. It is an enhanced port of Pikmin 3, set to release for the Nintendo Switch on October 30th, 2020.

Changes

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

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.[4]
  • The player can enable hints.

Content

  • There are new side stories to play through.[5]
    • One of them is a prologue and the other is an epilogue. Both star Captain Olimar and Louie. One of them is titled "Olimar's Assignment". Both can also be played in single-player or cooperatively with two players.
  • The Piklopedia has been added.[6]
    • Each entry contains a comment by each of the five leaders, a photo, 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 of Pikmin 3 Deluxe.[7]
  • Players can collect badges by meeting certain conditions, such as the "Animal Annotator" badge for logging 10 Piklopedia entries.[8]

HUD

  • There is a mini-map on-screen.[9]
    • 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 the "-" button toggles the KopPad, and "up" on the D-Pad activates hints.

Visual changes

  • The ground of the shore to the north of the landing site in Twilight River has grass, instead of decayed leaves and dirt.[10]
  • Dirt walls have horizontal white stripes on the "pillers" holding them up, at least in the Piklopedia.[11]

Other information

  • Game size: 6.5 GB.
  • Supported play modes: TV, tabletop, and handheld.
  • Supports cloud save data.
  • Supports online play.[12]

History

Pikmin 3 Deluxe was first announced in a tweet by Nintendo of America on August 5th, 2020.[13]
