This newly published rating for Nintendo’s next-generation hardware has stirred excitement among fans awaiting enhanced editions of popular Switch games.
While an official Switch 2 version of Pikmin 3 Deluxe has yet to be announced by Nintendo, the rating strongly indicates that development is underway or a release is being considered. Pikmin 3 Deluxe initially launched on the Nintendo Switch in October 2020, following its debut on Wii U.
The Deluxe edition brought refined controls, cooperative modes, and new story content, helping the title reach new audiences and contribute to the Pikmin franchise’s growing popularity.

Recently, Nintendo provided updates for Pikmin 4, adding fresh content but refraining from integrating any technical improvements tied specifically to the new hardware, such as increased resolution or smoother framerates. Reflecting on the popularity of the series, Pikmin 3 Deluxe has enjoyed strong sales on the Nintendo Switch, benefiting from the franchise’s widespread recognition fostered by Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo’s talented development teams.
Pikmin 4, released in July 2023, further revitalized interest in the series and introduced quality-of-life upgrades and new gameplay mechanics, reinforcing Nintendo’s commitment to supporting its key IPs on both current and future platforms. While Nintendo fans await confirmation of Pikmin 3 Deluxe’s release for Nintendo Switch 2, the PEGI rating is an encouraging sign that enhanced, next-generation experiences are in the pipeline.
