In Pikmin 4 you are the newest recruit, and you’ll customize your character before setting off to meet the capable Rescue Pup Oatchi and the plant-like creatures called Pikmin.

Meet Pikmin – the small, plant-like creatures you can grow, pluck, command and also overpower your enemies with during your grand mission on a strange planet! These curious helpers come in different types – fire is no sweat for Red Pikmin, and the new Ice Pikmin can freeze enemies and the environment. Use your Pikmin’s miniature might (and some strategic thinking) as you explore.

You get a Space Dog, too: Oatchi can help with things like smashing obstacles and carrying Pikmin throughout your adventure. With the miniscule Pikmin and a capable canine in tow, no challenge is too big or small!

Captain Olimar and the Rescue Corps have crash-landed on a mysterious planet, and only YOU can save them! Rise to the occasion and venture forth, brave explorer!


Welcome to the Rescue Corps.

In this game, you are the newest recruit, and you’ll customize your character before setting off to meet the capable Rescue Pup Oatchi and the plant-like creatures called Pikmin.

New to the series? Don’t worry – this is a great entry point for anyone that wants to learn more about Pikmin.

Collect treasures around the planet to fix the Rescue Corp’s spaceship’s radar and open new areas to explore, including underground caves, where a completely different environment from the surface awaits. 

Pikmin 4 also features Dandori Battles – try to collect more objects than your opponent within the time limit to win and save the castaway.

Plus, for the first time in the Pikmin series, you can eventually set out for night expeditions. But nightfall sends creatures into a frenzy, so stay alert. Thankfully, you’ll come across the new Glow Pikmin to drive them away. Much more awaits on this uncharted planet.

Plus, a demo of Pikmin 4 will be available in Nintendo eShop and in the My Nintendo Store on Nintendo.com on June 28.

Pre-orders are available now in Nintendo eShop, at retail and in the My Nintendo Store on Nintendo.com.

Pikmin 4 is coming to Nintendo Switch on July 21, 2023.
