Where To Buy Pikmin 1 + 2 On Switch - Physical Release And Digital Discounts

Will pick up the physical when it’s out, £35 is fair enough. I was ready to grab the first digitally but for £25? Absolutely not.

I hadn't noticed that 1 until you pointed it out @BenAV but now I can't unsee it and it's driving me crazy. 😝

Just preorder it. Is awesome have the entire series in the Nintendo switch!

I just wish Nintendo could read the room a little better.

I know there are Pikmin fans and it makes sense to dump these out so the entire series is on the Switch before 4 releases, but man have the voices been shouting loud for years for that GC Zelda HD Double pack, or the HD upscaling of F-Zero GX.

I'd include the Prime Trilogy in my ramble (and kind of still want too) but there was so much care put into Prime 1's remaster/remake that it earns them a bit of reprieve from me XD

So I just had a thought, do we know if both games are on the cartridge or if it’s going to be a Bayonetta 1 and 2 kind of deal where only one game is on the cartridge and you get a download voucher for the other game? I was holding off for the physical release but thinking about it now if one of the games will be digital anyway why bother waiting for this release?

@Sonicka I agree with you, however, I have to wonder if they did actually give us a remastered F-Zero GX, would it actually sell well enough for Nintendo to see it as a success? Or is it more the vocal minority crying out for it? How many of us will actually put our money where our mouths are? I’m sure people like you and I would, but maybe Nintendo isn’t completely out of the loop about this as much as it hurts to admit it. I want either a new F-Zero or at least a remaster of GX with online. Heck I’ve been saying for a while what they should do is make F-Zero GX + AX and give us the arcade tracks. I just don’t know if Nintendo sees a big enough active fan base for it unfortunately. As for the Zelda remasters I wouldn’t worry about them. If not on Switch they will most certainly make it to the next console. With TotK released just last month it was too soon to talk about them, give them at least to next year

...and EU? nothing?

Pikmin 1 + 2 on Switch is a second chance for me to get two Pikmin games in HD with cheaper price since the Gamecube and Wii version are really get inflated price on online shopping website.

@LavaTwilight those were the original cover for the japanese versions

@Darthmoogle I think both games are on one cartridge, as both games together come out to 2.1 GB which isn't hard to put on a cartridge

@RupeeClock - yup that sadly did occur to me. I suppose he wants to nurture his series as much as possible (and that’s great for Pikmin fans of course)

@Darthmoogle - honestly? I agree. With F-Zero it probably wouldn’t sell, But I place a lot of the blame on Nintendo for abandoning the series several console generations ago.

It’s a shame they don’t hold value in what makes this IP so fantastic, and it’s especially annoying that their previous comments in trying to revive the series not working have always been they feel they need to iterate to make it more interesting or unique, when really it’s one of the few series they own where they could just release “yet another but similar”.

I can’t find any futuristic racers out there with the blistering speeds (and 30 Cars on track) that they’d be competing against. There is a market saturated with futuristic racers (most inspired by F-Zero) but none still hold a candle to it (Fast Racing Neo came close) - and this is what makes this more tragic.

For Zelda, It’a more that we have those two HD remasters locked to the Wii U Console that bothers me. They were really great HD ports and it’s such a shame they are stuck on Nintendo’s worst selling console. Like a lot of other Wii U ports I feel these are deserved of a Switch release given the very large install base, it would make more sense than waiting for the next console at this point.

Perhaps it is simply that it’s too close to TOTK to announce? But then, considering it’s their best selling Zelda title, I would want to capitalise on that by saying “look what’s coming later this year…” You’d please the traditionalists with a re-release on one end, and bring in a whole bunch of new players from BOTW / TOTK to see what came before.

I’m probably just being impatient. ^^;

I don't mind digital these days if I can get them cheaper. Saving money is what I am about these days. I got that Nintendo double pack for being subbed to Nintendo online, and picked up Mario RPG and the New Mario game. I did this last month as well for zelda and pickman 4. I don't see a discount for Pikman 1 and 2. So I will get the double pack when it hits physical because no price difference

In the US, I usually buy my games at Target. If you use the red card, you save 5 percent. Might not be much, but it’s the cheapest option I’ve found for buying games unless they are on sale somewhere else. But when everybody is full price, using the red card is my cheapest option.

Ok, nerdy question here. Wonder if anyone has any thoughts on! If you get the digital bundle, will you have 2 separate icons in your library or 1 for both? Guessing the physical cart will be just 1 icon rather than 2. It’s silly but even tho I prefer physical for major 1st party releases (guess this isn’t technically major anyway lol) I’m just thinking about how I’d rather see each game on its own in my library rather than 1+2 together and 3 and 4 on their own.

So excited! All pikmin on one system! Thank you Nintendo!

@JohnnyMind yea that would make sense! Fingers crossed heh
