Pikmin 4 has been gathering all kinds of hype recently, and fans of the series are all set to buy this game and embark on a new adventure. And let’s be honest, this game had been a long time coming. Pikmin 3 launched for the Wii U years ago, but thanks to the state of that console, the game never took off.

Hence, Nintendo brought it to the Nintendo Switch, the game found a big enough audience on this console.

Now, to celebrate the launch of the latest game in the series, Nintendo decided to shadow-drop the first two games on the Nintendo eShop. These games would feature a bunch of modern features, including improved resolution.

As a bundle, these games would cost $49.99, and individually, they are available for a price of $29.99 each. It’s indeed a hefty price to pay for games that are years old, but they offer an impressive amount of value. But still, it appears that buying these games as a bundle and saving $10 would be a better thing to do.

As of yet, it remains unclear if these games will include any modern control options such as gyro, etc. Yet many of the fans are still very hyped for them.

Fans cannot contain their excitement for these two games!

Fans everywhere seem to be very excited about this announcement. Most of them are already planning to make this purchase without giving it a second thought.

Some are planning to wait for the physical version of this collection. The physical version would be launching sometime in September 2023.
