This suddenly turns every colorful day on this planet into a gut-wrenching race for survival. But then you realize that the hero, Captain Olimar, is quickly running out of breathable air and must repair his spaceship before suffocating horribly. The first game, released on the Gamecube in 2001, looks like a childrens’ title a cutesy adventure with plant beings carrying giant fruit. The Pikmin series has gone through a number of changes over the years. And while most of these games made the transition to Switch without many new features, Pikmin 3 Deluxe does offer some significant additions, including split-screen co-op in the campaign and a series of prologue levels that set the stage for the adventure ahead.īut the standout new feature in Deluxe is the newly-added epilogue, Olimar’s Comeback, which takes the slow-and-steady pace of Pikmin 3 and pumps it full of adorable crystal meth.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe’s arrival on Nintendo Switch is yet another example of a Wii U game being saved from obscurity with a revival on a far more popular platform (see also: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Captain Toad’s Treasure Tracker, and Bayonetta 2).
