==Changes==
{{stub|section=y}}

===Gameplay===
* The game now sports an updated control scheme similar to [[Pikmin 3 Deluxe]].
** {{button|switch|rstick}} is now used to freely control the camera.
** In order to [[Swarm]], the player must hold down {{button|switch|l}} while tilting {{button|switch|rstick}}.
** {{button|switch|lstickclick}} now resets the cursor.
** {{button|switch|rstickclick}} now activates the [[Upgrade#Napsack|Napsack]] [[Upgrade|upgrade]].	
** Pressing {{button|switch|-}} shows a screen displaying the game’s controls.
** Motion Controls can be enabled from the Controls screen.
*** If enabled, tilting the controller while holding {{button|switch|a}} or {{button|switch|b}} will move the cursor. 
**Pressing the button repeatedly for continued plucking is no longer required, simply holding {{button|switch|a}} while plucking will have leaders continue until no more sprouts are left.
** {{button|switch|zl}} is required to be held down to rotate the camera in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] and the [[Treasure Hoard]].
* Cutscenes (excluding the end of day scenes and the cinematics) can no longer be skipped.


===Graphics===
* The gameplay and UI are now rendered at a higher resolution.
** Pre-rendered cutscenes appear to have been AI upscaled to 1080p. {{cite web| https://twitter.com/OatmealDome/status/1671612996773203968|Tweet by OatmealDome|Twitter}}
* Much of the [[Treasure#Brands|product placement]] in the original game has been removed and replaced with fictional/other brands, likely because Nintendo lost the copyrights to those treasures. This includes treasures in the [[Mystical Energy Series]], [[Massive Receptacle Series]], [[Survival Series]], [[Ancient Ad Series]], and [[Odd Logo Series]]. {{cite web| https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pikmin-2-switch/|Pikmin™ 2 for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site|Nintendo.com}}
* The number of Pikmin currently holding onto an object is now on the top half of of the [[carry]] number, like in {{p3}}.
* The text for cave loading screens is much more opaque, and cream-colored.

===Text===
* All references to the controls have been updated to reflect the new control scheme.
* The copyright on the title screen has been changed to "© Nintendo".

===Audio===
* The [[Ai no Uta]] and [[Tane no Uta]] easter eggs have been removed, likely as a result of licensing issues.

===Other===
* [[Cutscene#Attraction mode|Attraction mode]] has been completely removed. When attraction mode should play, the title screen is just reloaded.
