Pikmin 3 Deluxe, as the title suggests, is the deluxe version of the original Wii U game - featuring all of the DLC and some brand new side-story missions starring Olimar and Louie. To further encourage players to revisit Nintendo's garden gem, various retailers are offering some extra bonuses alongside the retail and online release.
Following on from Nintendo UK's coffee cup and microfibre bundle, the retailer GAME (also in the UK) is now offering a free bonus t-shirt and microfibre cloth for anyone who pre-orders a physical copy in-store or online for £49.99. Here's a look:
This deal is available in limited supply, so if you want this "exclusive pre-order bonus" be sure to act fast. To see where else you can pre-order Pikmin 3 Deluxe ahead of its October release, be sure to check out our guide.

I'll wait for the budle with the Pikmin pants and a cutlery set
I’ll stick with the base game, thanks. The goodies provided for the other set seem condescending and dull in comparison.
Who asked for this? I need answers.
Or don't, pre-order from elsewhere and save yourself 8 or 9 pounds...
Since I never bought the DLC for this game on Wii U I'll probably buy the "deluxe" version, also interested in it for the new Olimar and Louie story.
Hopefully the U.S. gets some good pre-order bonuses.
I actually like that t-shirt...;;
Oh bums I didn’t want to spend that much on a game I’ve essentially already played to death but that t-shirt... I’ve got to have it you sly dogs!
I have noticed the word 'free' is no longer used and is replaced by 'exclusive'. Because you are paying for this junk.
And no I won't pay again for a game I have already paid Nintendo for when I bought the original. Even if it's got a few extra bits.
But then this game is not ment for the few of us who bought the Wii u, it's for all those who deserted Nintendo after the Wii and came back for the Switch. To them it's a brand new game, along with all the other ports.
A quick search on Amazon shows that you can get : Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, Paper Mario and several 3rd party games for under 40 quid.
It's crazy that Nintendo is pricing Pikimin 3 at that price.
It should cost around 30/35 pounds max and that's being generous.
Nintendo charging premium prices for a game they've already released. The pricing for this and donkey kong,when that also released, are a pisstake. If they had bundled 1&2 with it,then there'd be a good enough reason to charge full price. Whats worse is its highlighted more because there are no NEW GAMES to get people excited. I'll pick this up when its half price......in 2025 🙄😏
Great game. Really enjoyed it. I’ll buy this version of the deluxe deluxe port on the switch 2
As basic a design as a t-shirt can get, not worth the extra cost over other retailers / sites unless you're REALLY into Pikmin. Even the cloth is meh.
@PlayedNSlayed you said everything.
They should have it bundled with 1&2 to try to justify the price.
Heck, you can get Assassin's Creed, Bioshock and Borderlands for less than 30 pounds and they are all bundle games.
Also agree that they don't have anything really new to get people excited.
It's been a very poor year for Nintendo, only 3x really new games released in 8 months.
And one of these games is a board game collection - not very exciting.
Still haven’t seen what the Deluxe is
How are Game still a high-street chain?
@zool I have a wii U and still did not buy pikmin 3! Yeah, this switch release is new to me as well.
I wish that shirt were a different color. This thing would make me look paler than I already am.
@Incarna also shop4 is great i use it for getting games sent switzerland and shipping is only 1 swiss franc. beats the scary price here for games
@Incarna Nintendo Life will list whichever retailers offer affiliate link schemes.
That t-shirt looks kinda nice, but it's not so nice that I would sell my soul and do business with GAME for, or pay more than £20 for a game I mostly have already.
Too bad this isn't available in the US
That t-shirt looks cool. Simple.
@Incarna
They get paid for affiliate links. Advertising is what pays for the website. Nothing funny about it.
That’s why it says “ Please note that some external links on this page are affiliate links, which means if you click them and make a purchase we may receive a small percentage of the sale”
