And here’s what other reviewers had to say:
My Nintendo news – 8/10:
“For beginners who have yet to experience the magic of Pikmin 4, the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is the best place to start. Not only is the native 4K resolution a significant upgrade that allows the colorful world of Pikmin to shine brighter than ever, but Dandori Academy brings some interesting new content, held back only by Nintendo’s monthly tiered distribution method. While it’s not as extravagant as some of the other Nintendo Switch 2 editions we’ve seen recently, the low-end price “$10 for the upgrade pack is an appropriate price for what Pikmin 4 has to offer on Nintendo Switch 2, with the base game being in a class of its own.”
Game Informer (no note):
“The main takeaway is that Pikmin 4 is still great, and I was grateful to transfer my save file from the Switch version (and was tempted to start a new game + save), but Dandori Academy isn’t a strong incentive to return if you’ve already played the game. It’s a nice bonus and an interesting concept that reinvents the familiar time trial mode found in many video games, but the original campaign remains the main attraction.”
Nintendo Insider – 6/10:
“Pikmin 4 remains one of my favorite titles released on the original Nintendo Switch, but unfortunately this update left me a little disappointed. While the game has seen a visual upgrade and the Oatchi controls are certainly a new addition, the drip feed of its major new Dandori Academy content is proving more frustrating than anything else. More Pikmin is never a bad thing, but having to wait months to see it all, well… It’s a hindrance.”
Vooks.net – 4.5/5:
“Pikmin 4 is already a good time; Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy is just the icing on the 4K cake. If you don’t have the original Switch version, then it’s an easy recommendation; if you’re here for the upgrade/adds, then the visual upgrade will help. Dandori Academy won’t be for everyone, but over the next year it will continue to add additional challenges. The upgrade price cheaper helps make it an easier recommendation.”
