Pikmin 3 Deluxe will feature multiple difficulty modes, new story missions with Louie and Olimar, and will include all DLC from the original. The Pikmin series follows space adventurer Olimar and friends as they fight for survival and survive in an alien world with their army of Pikmin creatures.

The game’s official page gives some insight into the game, “By employing the unique abilities of these tiny Pikmin creatures, players will solve puzzles, battle dangerous predators and recover food needed to save the explorers’ depleted home planet. Since the Switch’s release, Pikmin fans have long been anticipating the release of a port or sequel for the series. The latest trailer released shows off the new quality of life changes made to the game, along with visual improvements and new features available.
