Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy is available now for Nintendo Switch 2, following its Nov. 12, 2026 release. The package updates the original Pikmin 4 experience with improved visuals and new Nintendo Switch 2-specific features, while retaining the core expedition in which players create an explorer, rescue the Rescue Corps, repair their ship, and command Pikmin across an oversized planet.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition adds voice commands for Oatchi through the Nintendo Switch 2 system microphone, letting players direct the rescue pup during exploration. It also introduces Dandori Academy, a new set of skill-based exam stages focused on efficient task management, with 72 stages planned to be released over time across varying difficulty levels.

Dandori Battles support play with a friend on the same system, and players can share access locally through GameShare or online through GameChat, subject to Nintendo Switch 2 and online feature requirements. Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy is listed at $69.99, while Nintendo Switch 2 owners who already have Pikmin 4 can purchase the Upgrade Pack for $9.99; the upgrade requires the full version of Pikmin 4, sold separately.
