Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy Launches Today
The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of offers new features to interact with its mysterious world and its tiny plant-like Pikmin creatures. That includes nine different voice commands players can give the adorable Rescue Pup Oatchi. Using the console’s built-in microphone, explorers can ask Oatchi to gather up Pikmin, transport treasures, and more.
Additionally, with enhanced visuals on Nintendo Switch 2, including up to 4K resolution in TV mode, the world of Pikmin 4 can be explored in greater detail than before.
Those who enjoy Dandori, the art of organising tasks strategically and working on them efficiently, can look forward to new ways to improve their planning and treasure-collecting skills. In Dandori Battles, up to two players can now compete using GameShare via local wireless or online via GameChat. Plus, with CameraPlay, the face of each explorer is visible in the game.
Furthermore, in the new Dandori Academy mode, players can master the art of efficiency by taking on timed challenges to see how quickly they can collect treasures, like fruits or vegetables, around a variety of stages. Using strategy and efficiency, players will practise their Dandori skills in each stage, and test them in exams held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Exams will also be available the day of the game’s launch, on Thursday, November 12th. Medals are earned based on the exam result and can be used to unlock special rewards, such as user icons. A total of 72 Dandori Academy stages will be released over time, with six available each month starting from launch.
An upgrade pack for the game is available for players that already own Pikmin 4 for Nintendo Switch. By purchasing the upgrade pack on Nintendo Switch 2, players can access all the new features and game modes.
A free demo of Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy is also available on Nintendo eShop, featuring Sun-Speckled Terrace, the first area of the main story and two stages of Dandori Academy.
