Pikmin 3 – Website Shut Down

Pikmin 3 – Website Shut Down

Some fans noticed that the official website for Pikmin 3 seems to have shut down and now directs users to Nintendo eShop listing for the Wii U version.

Why does this matter?

Back in 2018, the Animal Crossing website was filled with placeholder text shortly before the reveal of Animal Crossing: New Horizons which has led many fans into believing that an announcement of the heavily rumored Nintendo Switch port of Pikmin 3 may possibly be coming.

Well quite frankly I really reaaaaaly hope so, Pikmin 3 was and is an awesome title;

About Pikmin 3

On a hostile planet, command a giant army of tiny ant-like creatures to protect yo. Lead two new Pikmin types as you explore a rich and diverse world, oversee the action in this unique blend of action and strategy.

Aim your Pikmin with total precision: fling them to latch onto enemy weakspots or pass over gaps. Whichever control option you choose, you can watch over the action with an overhead view on the GamePad and quickly switch between areas by sliding your finger on the touch screen, allowing you to keep track of your teams with ease.

Crack enemies’ tough outer shells and break down barriers with the new Rock Pikmin, and use the new Winged Pikmin in combination with the individual skills of other Pikmin types to proceed. Decide how best to divide your Pikmin teams to assign them the most appropriate tasks, and maximise your progress in each day.

Explore an expansive single-player adventure, and take on discrete challenges in Mission Mode, where the aim is to amass as much treasure as possible within a strict time limit. At the end of each stage, use the action replay feature to review your performance and formulate new strategies, increasing replay value.
