OUT NOW!
Pikmin are back for yet another grand mission in Pikmin 4 for Nintendo Switch! These tiny, plant-like creatures inhabit a mysterious planet. Grow, pluck and command them, as you traverse this new world with their help.
Imagine the world you live in from a different perspective, viewed from close to the ground – what do you think you’d find? The answer might surprise you! Between the flowers, the rocks, the blades of grass exist tiny creatures you might never have imagined…
It’s here, down among the flora, that we find the Pikmin. These strange plant-like creatures may seem tiny and vulnerable, but don’t be fooled! What they lack in stature, they make up in both strength and numbers. A species not to be underestimated indeed!
On a peculiar far away planet, a group of space travellers are stranded and awaiting rescue. Are you the right rescuer for the job? Pick up their SOS signals and explore an uncharted world inhabited by a curious crop of creatures.
Thankfully, some of them are friends, not foes! Meet the Pikmin – these spirited helpers might be small in stature, but boast strength in numbers. Grow, gather and guide them to tackle tasks big and small.
Explore, hunt for treasure in vast open areas, battle wild critters, solve puzzles and rescue the stranded travellers together.
Oatchi, the adorable Rescue Pup, will also join you on your adventure. This dependable companion can smash obstacles, transport heavy objects and carry you and a whole host of Pikmin on his back.
As you progress through your adventure, you’ll discover useful raw materials that can be used to construct bridges, craft helpful gear and more.
Be on the lookout for sparkly things too! These treasures contain Sparklium – a valuable energy source. Use it to power up your spaceship and expand your planetary search for stranded travellers.
Explore and take it all in at your own pace. Just don’t forget to pick up any stray Pikmin and head back to your ship before the sun sets!
