Nintendo fans are scratching their heads over a recent leak suggesting a new game is coming to the Switch 2. Nintendo released its latest console earlier this year, and several older games have been enhanced to take advantage of the new hardware. Some, like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, have received major upgrades, while others, such as Super Mario Odyssey, have gotten minor improvements through free updates. Now, a leak points to another older game being improved for the Switch 2, but fans are confused as to why Nintendo would choose this particular title.
A listing for Pikmin 3 Deluxe recently showed up on the PEGI ratings website, suggesting Nintendo is working on a version for the upcoming Switch 2. Pikmin 3 first came out on Wii U in 2013, and Pikmin 3 Deluxe – an updated version with better graphics and extra content – was released on Switch in 2020. If this rating is accurate, Nintendo is planning to enhance Pikmin 3 again for the Switch 2, though details about what changes will be included are currently unavailable.
Nintendo Fans Don’t Understand This Choice
Nintendo fans are confused by a recent leak suggesting the company might upgrade Pikmin 3 for the Switch 2 instead of Pikmin 4. Considering Pikmin 4 is the newest game in the series, released in 2023, and offers excellent gameplay and replay value, it would seem like the more logical choice for a Switch 2 upgrade. It’s puzzling why Nintendo would focus on improving the older Pikmin 3, especially since they were still releasing updates for Pikmin 4 as recently as October.
While information shared on ratings websites is usually reliable, this listing could still be an error. So, until Nintendo officially confirms an update to Pikmin 3 for the Switch 2, it’s best to view this news with caution. We’ll keep you updated on ComicBook if a new version of Pikmin 3 or Pikmin 4 is announced.
