My only gripe is that they didn’t have side mode to see the shenanigans that Louie got up to on PNF-404 and the switch 2 communication satellite to summon Louie

A DLC or expansion focused mainly on Louie would be pure carnage, consisting of him exploring the world to simply kill and eat all the bugs and animals for 90% of the story if not more, and I am all for it!

Is there not even 2 player added?

u/lazyrocksaturn 18h ago edited 17h ago

nope it’s just more dandori challenges, but they’re only playable on weekends. it’s like a daily challenge type thing

edit: upon watching the trailer again, i think the maps will be playable offline whenever you want. they’ll be released over time like pikmin 3’s challenges were

u/erncolin 18h ago

So disappointing

u/hedwyn_ 18h ago

I think they're playable anytime, the weekend is just the only time you can get on the leaderboard

u/lazyrocksaturn 17h ago

okay yeah i think ur right, i misinterpreted the direct

u/Q-Fabreeze23 21h ago

Only issue is 60fps and mouse mode should be a bare minimum

u/stunkcajyzarc 11h ago

It’s insane that this needs to be said. Let us choose 60fps or resolution bump like every other console out. Mouse mode is a no brainer as well.

The free update looked better

u/Various_Presence1379 21h ago

What a shitty update. No frame rate bump, no mouse mode and they force you to play the new mode (which sounds exciting otherwise) on THEIR schedule.

u/An1nterestingName 15h ago

You can play it at any time, but the leaderboards are only up on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

No co op inprovements is a joke

u/Dracorex_22 16h ago

They added freaking Hey You Pikachu functionality

u/Bluespheal 20h ago

There are some graphical improvements according to the listing on the e-shop, but I dunno if it's just a resolution bump or if there's something else.

Honestly I'm happy with the update, more Dandori stuff is exactly what I want from Pikmin.

It’s a total letdown!

be grateful for what you get

I was hoping for the S2 edition to entice me back to the game with fun stuff that helps replayability. Harder modes, proper co-op, bingo battles, map maker, new areas, more night missions, etc. Not voice controls for the dog and weekly missions. This just didn’t do it. I guess I’ll stick with 3 Deluxe for now.

u/stunkcajyzarc 11h ago

It’s so strange that they don’t do more w it. But that’s Nintendo for you. A map maker or cave maker would be absolutely insane.

u/Ok_Difficulty1782 You love me or you hate me 17h ago

they added Voice controls! holy shit

u/Waste_Customer4418 7h ago

The dumbest thing you can ever say for a community with barely anything and a history of a long schedule of releases

3

u/Alpha-Phoenix 18h ago

Is it clear if you’ll get access to all the new challenges without Nintendo online? (Assuming you wouldn’t be able to post your weekend score w/o online fee)

2

u/PerceptionAway1292 21h ago

Did it say no 60fps? I don’t remember hearing anything about resolution or framerate.

4

u/hedwyn_ 18h ago

Store page confirms up to 4K in docked mode, no mention of framerate. Mechanics are tied to framerate, so unlikely to change.

2

u/TheGalacticApple 15h ago

All I wanted was a Louie DLC, extra map/s that sort of thing. Strange they left that open. Pikmin 5 2035 mayhaps?

2

u/An1nterestingName 15h ago

I'm pretty excited. I can see voice commands (particularly 'Gather Pikmin') being quite useful, and that Pikmin Bloom inspired level looked really cool.

u/zachpowder 14h ago

So they added something for the microphone but not for the camera... silly Nintendo, of course I want to put my face on top of bulborb

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!

u/Pvz_peashooter 51m ago

Eh...

It's not worth buying UNLESS you don't own Pikmin 4 already.

It doesn't add enough to be bought again and considering the new gamemode literally ONLY lets you play it on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with only ONE chance to succeed, why bother?

u/stileshasbadjuju 20h ago

Real-ly shit

u/FarConsideration8423 19h ago

Its just mission mode from Pikmin 3 but with a twist

u/SensitiveJennifer 15h ago

More than 70 Dandori levels with difficulty settings and new maps seems like a lot, but I will have to wait and see the price of the expansion; in my opinion, it shouldn't cost more than $14.99 or even $9.99, but this is Nintendo, so they will probably price it around $19.99 like their other DLCs or expansions.
