See what’s sprouting in Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy, available now!

Howdy, explorers! It’s time to go on an enhanced expedition with your Pikmin in Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy.

The Rescue Corps needs…rescuing?!

Members of the Rescue Corps have landed themselves in one dill of a pickle! Now, it’s up to you to find the Rescue Corps crew and fix their ship. Create your own explorer and navigate a larger-than-life world from a pint-sized perspective. Luckily, you won’t have to take on this mission alone.

Meet your squad

So, you’ve landed yourself on a mysterious planet and you’ve got a job to do. But…how do you navigate a world where just about everything is much, much bigger than you?

With a little help from some friends, of course!

Pikmin

Grow, pluck, and guide a loyal squad of Pikmin to accompany you on your expedition. To succeed, you’ll have to balance caring for your Pikmin while also leading them into some sketchy situations. But with their miniature might, you’ll be able to gather resources, find ways forward, and handle any fierce foes that cross your path.

Oatchi! Wait…what’s an Oatchi?

Resident good boy and dependable partner, Oatchi, can also help get the job done. From smashing through obstacles, to carrying you and your Pikmin throughout your adventure, with this powerful pup by your side, no challenge is too big!

Now, you may be thinking, “Wait, are you saying there’s a space dog in this game?” Yes. Yes, we are. You can even train this rescue pup to become more helpful, eventually being able to divide and conquer with Oatchi taking care of business elsewhere.

And in Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy, Oatchi has learned a new trick: listening for your voice commands via the Nintendo Switch 2 system microphone! So, don’t be shy about telling him what a good boy he is.

Pop quiz! What’s Dandori Academy?

Dandori is the art of organising tasks strategically, quickly, and efficiently. In the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of the game, you can try Dandori Academy, an extensive series of Dandori exam stages for you to test your skill and earn in-game medals! A total of 72 stages will be released over time—and they vary in difficulty, so you can choose the ones that match your skill level.

Battle with your buds

When you’re ready to take on your fellow explorers in Dandori Battles, you can do so with a friend on the same system*. You can even get them in on the fun via GameShare** locally or online via GameChat—even if they don’t have the game!

What if I already have Pikmin 4?
