Nintendo's Pikmin series of real-time strategy games didn't start out as a cooperative series. The first game was single-player only. That changed when Pikmin 2 arrived on the Gamecube way back in the innocent year of 2004, adding a cooperative Challenge Mode. Switch owners can now experience that classic co-op razzle dazzle, because Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 have just been released as digital downloads. Buy them individually (2 is the one to get) or together for a nice discount, play the heck out of them, and then you'll be ready for the upcoming Pikmin 4.

It's been quite some time since Pikmin 3's intrepid captains crash landed on a mysterious planet, but memories of its enjoyable co-op experience have persisted nonetheless.  Thankfully, we won't have to rely on memories (or our old Wii U consoles) much longer, as Pikmin 3 Deluxe is headed to the Nintendo Switch on October 30th of this year.

Featured in the latest Nintendo Direct, Pikmin 3 has received both its first title update and DLC pack that expanded on the solid co-op modes and the online leaderboard system.

As a game series that began almost 12 year ago and with a massive fanbase to appease, Pikmin 3 had a lot of expectations to live up to on the Wii U. Marketed to be a cute, yet beautiful title to usher in the new HD visuals of the system, it was understandable that many were looking forward to its release.

Being one of Nintendo’s current flagship titles, it’s no wonder that Pikmin 3 is getting the special treatment it deserves, and only a couple of weeks until launch at that!

Wii U owners may have been a little disappointed that they’d have to wait for Pikmin 3’s launch later this year, but delaying its release may have been a great choice for Nintendo to make.  As revealed by Satoru Iwata, Pikmin 3 will now have multiple control variations to suit almost everyone’s way to play, among the new features found within the gameplay itself.
