From Nintendo:
The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition offers new features players can use to interact with the game’s mysterious world and its tiny, plantlike creatures called Pikmin. Using the system’s built-in microphone, explorers can choose from nine different voice commands to ask the adorable Rescue Pup Oatchi to gather Pikmin, go to work and more. Plus, with enhanced visuals on Nintendo Switch 2, the vibrant world of Pikmin 4 can be explored in greater detail than ever before.
Those who enjoy Dandori – the art of organizing tasks strategically and working on them efficiently – can look forward to new ways to improve their planning and treasure-collecting skills. Up to two players can partake in Dandori Battles locally on the same system, and now with GameShare3, you can battle it out via local wireless or online via GameChat, allowing you to test your strategic mettle against friends near and far!
In the new Dandori Academy mode, players can master the art of efficiency by taking on timed challenges to see how quickly they can collect treasure around a variety of stages. Players will practice their skills in each stage, then put their strategies to the test in Dandori Exams held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Players will earn medals based on the exam results, as well as points which can be used to unlock in-game rewards. A total of 72 Dandori Academy stages will be released over time, with six available each month starting today.
