Pikmin 4 not enough Pikmin 4 you? Well then it’s your lucky day; Nintendo has announced it’ll be launching Pikmin 1 & 2 on Switch, with both titles getting a surprise release on eShop today.
The first Pikmin introduced the world to Captain Olimar and his titular half-vegetable, half-animal pals back on GameCube in 2001. A sequel followed in 2004, expanding on the original’s real-time strategy style puzzling with new Pikmin, cave exploration, and more in 2004.
Since then, both titles have received gentle updates for Wii, introducing a pointer-style control system. However, it’s not entirely clear which editions of Pikmin 1 & 2 are coming to Switch, with Nintendo only referring to them as “HD versions”.
