This latest update to the game adds content for new and returning players to explore:
- Decor Pikmin: Originally seen in the Pikmin Bloom*1 smart device app, these curious Pikmin are marching their way to Pikmin 4. Decor Pikmin (like the name implies) are Pikmin that don some form of decoration found in the world – you may see them adorned with something like a wind-up toy, a doughnut, a snow hat and much more. Decor Pikmin you gather in the new Pikmin 4 update can also be transferred to your squad in Pikmin Bloom*2, including some that that can only be found in Pikmin 4.
- Field Camera: Take stylish photos of your character, your squad and whatever you like with this new feature. Set the scene with various angles, hide characters, and decorate your pics with filters, frames and stamps.
- New Creature Activity Levels: Move at your own pace and enjoy the new Relaxed mode, where creatures won’t attack unless you attack them, or kick things up a notch in the fiery Fierce mode. These modes can be selected when starting a new game or changed at any point after from the game’s settings.
Coinciding with the fourth anniversary of the app, Pikmin Bloom is welcoming Ice Pikmin to the app. Ice Pikmin were first discovered by explorers in Pikmin 4.
A short animation video by Nintendo Pictures called “Close to You”, which has been revealed in the Nintendo Today!*3 smart device app, is now also available on our Nintendo social channels. Take a look to see some more Pikmin if you have yet to watch.
In Pikmin 4, you’ll embark on a grand mission with the dependable Rescue Pup Oatchi by your side, and a squad of plant-like Pikmin in tow. On your adventure, you’ll trek across a mysterious planet, rescue those in need, collect curios and resources, and more. You can even play with a friend on the same system in co-op mode and strategic Dandori Battles. For more information, watch the Pikmin 4 – overview trailer.
Pikmin 4 is available on Nintendo Switch and can be played on Nintendo Switch 2. Players can give this pint-sized adventure a try today with a free demo and transfer their save data to the full game, if they decide to purchase it.
