Pikmin 4 sprouts up on Switch today
Plucky little guys, aren't they?
Nintendo has launched Pikmin 4 on the Switch today. The title is available both digitally and physically, and it’s priced at $60. If you go the digital route, Pikmin 4 takes up 10.6 GB of space.
Meet Pikmin: small, plantlike creatures with distinct abilities that you can grow, pluck, guide, and overpower enemies with! Use your Pikmin’s miniature might (and a bit of strategy) to explore this mysterious planet in search of your crew—and treasure.
To succeed, you’ll have to balance caring for the Pikmin with leading them into dangerous situations. Do your best out there! Pikmin grow from pellets and wildlife that you can bring to your ship. Pluck them from the ground to have them join you. Go team!
Lead your squad through vast explorable areas to find treasures, discover new paths, and battle enemies of all sizes. You can also direct the Pikmin to collect and carry resources that are helpful for your mission. Up to three Pikmin types can be with you in the field at a time—the rest will hang back until you need them.
When their task is done, the Pikmin will wait in place for you. Get close and blow your whistle to summon them to your side! This handy action can also help you protect the Pikmin from danger, do a headcount, or simply bring them with you to your next task.
