Where To Pre-Order Pikmin 4 On Switch - Best Deals And Cheapest Prices

i dont compulsively buy nintendo games anymore. i hope they know that im not alone, and that its something very valuable that they lost.

ill get pikmin 4 if it's good. but we all know its not a guarantee like it used to be.

Still gotta finish 3/deluxe. May not get at launch but will purchase within the window.

Pikmin, Metroid, Hollow Knight, and FromSoft games are my favorites.
I don't generally believe in pre-orders, but I couldn't buy this fast enough.

I thought Pikmin 4 pre-orders were live a while ago? I ordered Metroid Prime Remastered, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, and Pikmin 4 in the same My Nintendo UK Store order in February.

Maybe I am crazy enough to buy this instead of Tears Of The Kingdom. That’s because I am. Looking forward to it.

@Eagly Arlo’s day has almost arrived

@TheBigBlue I will buy TotK, but I am certainly WAY more excited for Pikmin 4. The Pikmin trilogy is a magical experience and IMO the most consistently great series of games. The only mis-step was Hey Pikmin, which is really not a mainline entry anyway.
I am so happy that a 4th is finally a reality after 10 years!

@-wc- it's not a guarantee? what are you talking about? all mainline pikmin games have been the best of the best

I can't wait for this game

Pikmin 4 the box art looks beautiful.

@TheBigBlue I sense a very happy arlo

@-wc- I hear ya, but I think this will be good. Strikers, Sports were duds. I think Splatoon 3 is great for those who like franchise, but I didn’t play 2 enough to warrant a purchase of 3. Same with Bayonetta and Pokémon….unless this turns out to be a complete disappointment, I am getting it….

Day one. The wait. The big wait

@-wc-

Know what you mean, be like that these days.

That box art is so cute! I love it.

TOTK first then Pikmin 4 both on release day.
Will do the £84 for two vouchers in the UK eshop.
So not to bad a cost.

I am so looking forward to Pikmin 4. The prices in the US are pretty much the same (I’m not including play Asia as I’ve never ordered through them.) I’m ordering mine through Target. With the redcard I’m getting free shipping and saving 5 percent. It’s the cheapest I could find here.

Just give me a bundle with the “miyamoto” Pikmin t-shirt

Waiting to see what pre order bonuses there are, but it's so exciting to see Pikmin back on the metaphorical shelf 😁

I'm stupid excited for the fact that purple and white pikmin are coming back, I could cry.

Buy the nintendo switch vouchers, use one for Pikmin 4 and the other for Zelda.

Oh.. I loved Pikmin on Gamecube and the demo I played of Pikmin 3 on Switch, but when they die or get left behind...I can't stand it.
I am not kidding when I say it puts me off getting another Pikmin game! They have souls, dammit.

Day one purchase!

@EarthboundBenjy they were, right after the announcement. I got mine locked in at Target for b1g1 half off. Two copies, one for me, one for my daughter.

@-wc- That's rich. Nintendo's never had consistent quality game output. Name any system, all the way back to the arcade / NES days and there are several stinkers in there that people don't wanna talk about. I don't see why you'd idealize their output in the first place tbh.

@-wc- why not? What Nintendo games have been bad?

Can't wait. Day one purchase for sure. Hopefully it's better than 3 was.

@Koxen
pikmin 1 is a brilliant, perfect little game in my opinion.

pikmin 2 takes that idea and bloats up the system about as far as it can go without ruining things.

pikmin 3 gone done it. its not the worst game in the world but it does not have the magic, for me, at all. i regretted the purchase.

(and the less said about the 3ds one, the better.)

if Nintendo's output ever since had been up to par, id be ready to buy Pikmin 4 on day 1 regardless. sadly, this is the story for me with most, not all, of my favorite nintendo properties. again, in my opinion.

@link3710
in my opinion, nintendo's output from the late NES days through the gamecube era, and to some extent the wii era, was particularly strong. the best, even. Maybe the longest, best winning streak of any games company, ever.

ive been around long enough to know that the hit/miss ratio for nintendo on the major first party releases is not what it once was. i dont even think its debatable.

@Uncle_Franklin
dont get me wrong! ill be so pleased if this ends up being a hit! pikmin is such a charming world.

@rockodoodle ( @Corvus96 too)
wow, i had forgotten about some of those, even 😔. i let myself get pretty hyped for sports, strikers, golf... those same series on prior systems were guaranteed hits. i dont think some of the people here understand the real meaning of that.

more lately, ive bounced right off some of my personal favorite series', including FE: 3 houses, metroid dread, kirby TFL. im not saying they are bad games, but they are not as good as what came before, in my humble opinion. And, there is more interesting stuff around now, to me.

OTOH paper mario origami king is completely weak sauce compared to where that series is coming from.

anyway, there are a few to look forward to! nintendo is still my favorite games company now or ever! f zero, waverace, and pilotwings please! release mother 3 and all non violent drug offenders, too. ✌️

ps - threaded comments, when? 😋

@-wc- I thought Metroid Dread was pretty good. Admittedly the only other Metroid I had played before then was Prime literally back in 2002.

However, from online, I thought most people who have played all the games thought Dread was good too.

@Phornix

im not saying metroid dread is a bad game.

i am saying, most any other 2d metroid game is utterly compelling, yet i struggled to stay interested in metroid dread. i found the EMMI "segments" pretty bolted-on feeling and pointless. i think the whole thing feels like an extremely polished fan project. a bit lifeless, and slightly off-brand. i quit playing it for good after a few weeks and now i just feel guilty for not even wanting to go back.

but everyone else seems to love it, so i guess its just me! 🙃

@-wc-

I like Bulbdog.

I hope there are more areas to explore than what looks like a park in the previous trailer and I want them to be really big for exploration

@-wc- yeah, I skipped the most recent FE, but got the Kirby remake.

@-wc- We actually do know if it'll be good, because it is from Nintendo who has an impeccable track record. It's like Sony, pretty much any game from them is guaranteed to be objectively good. It's the safest bet you can take. I'm always puzzled by people who don't know Nintendo is literally the safest bet in gaming you can take with your money. Please don't tell me you buy EA/ActiBlizz/Xbox games, because that'll expose you as a fake and lacking gaming knowledge.

@Corvus96 Virtually none. People like that prove they're not gamers/have outgrown good games. Simple as that.

@RobynAlecksys

did you read any of my other comments, or just the first one? :0)

@rockodoodle

hows the kirby remake? i definitely want it, as i missed the game the first time around, and it appears to be my kind of kirby 👍

Hurry up Nintendo, without that phone holder my device keeps falling onto the table!

If they had just squeezed a rock pikmin under that blue flower, every type of pikmin would have been represented on the boxart...

I want to start buying day one again for games I like. Gaming is a much more fun hobby if I trust the developer and am not in a hyper sceptical mood.

The only Nintendo game this generation that I can say I regretted buying was Nintendo Switch Sports( Soooo shallow...), maybe Breath Of The Wild too but that one is a complicated case of love/dislike.

And I want to buy games like this in the store. If I leave the house to buy a game I know it is worth it. Ordering games is a little bit boring.

That said I am eagerly awaiting Pikmin 4. Lovely cover by the way.
I am really curious about the gameplay with the cute dog. This dog would be a great pre order bonus as a small stuffed toy.
