During the recent Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that in addition to Pikmin 4 coming next month to Switch, the original two titles, Pikmin and Pikmin 2 would also be coming to the platform. The wait for them is not long though, as both games are available now.

Here is a little info on each game.

Pikmin

A crash-landing, an uncharted planet, and a strange but exciting discovery for Captain Olimar! Rebuild his spaceship with the help of tiny plant creatures called Pikmin and explore an overgrown world .

Pikmin 2

A captain’s work is never done! Return to the strange planet and hunt for precious treasures, using the talents of the Pikmin and your new assistant to lighten the load.

The intriguing part of the news is that Nintendo keep saying they are HD versions of the GameCube titles, which sure that is where they started. But during the Wii era, we also got ports of the games to that platform that used motion controls and was branded under the ‘New Play Control’ series. So I wonder if the games are based on the GameCube originals, or the Wii releases of them.

Either way you can get the games on their own for $39.95 each or in a twin pack for $69.95. If you want to buy them one at a time you can get Pikmin here and you can get Pikmin 2 here. Hey Pikmin is now the only game in the series not on Switch, or that will be when Pikmin 4 releases.
