=== Content ===
* There are new side stories to play through.{{cite web|rname=noa_tweet}}
** The first side story is set before the main story and is called "Olimar's Assignment", while the second is set after the main story. Both star [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Louie]]. Like the main story, these can be played in single-player or cooperatively with two players.
* The [[Piklopedia]] originating from {{p2}} has been added.{{cite web|rname=noa_tweet}}
** Each entry contains a comment by each of the five [[leader]]s, some way of seeing the creature, a general list of habitats, and the amount killed throughout the adventure.
* All the [[downloadable content]] from {{p3}} is included in the base game.{{cite web|rname=noa_tweet}}
* Players can collect badges by meeting certain conditions, such as the "Animal Annotator" badge for logging 10 Piklopedia entries.{{cite web|rname=noa_tweet}}

=== Graphics ===
* There is a mini-map on-screen.{{cite web|https://pikmin3.nintendo.com/|Pikmin™ 3 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch™ – Official Site|Nintendo's official website|retrieved={{date|5|August|2020}}|rname=official_site}}
** The style of the mini-map differs from the Wii U game's [[radar]], in that it uses solid colors instead of textures -- terrain is dark blue, water is a lighter blue, [[out of bounds]] locations are black, and walls are cyan. Leaders and the [[S.S. Drake]] also have stylized icons with minimalist drawings, instead of smaller versions of their portraits.
* The [[HUD#Day|day counter]] is gone from the HUD, and the juice counter takes its place.
* Two on-screen prompts exist, informing the player that {{button|switch|-}} toggles the [[KopPad]], and "up" on {{button|switch|pad}} activates hints.
* Text in dialog boxes in cutscenes is aligned to the center of the box instead of the left.{{cite youtube|aSSQ0Z6eDhU|of the announcement trailer|published={{date|5|August|2020}}|retrieved={{date|5|August|2020}}|rname=announcement_trailer}}
* [[Gate#Dirt wall|Dirt wall]]s have horizontal white stripes on the "pillars" holding them up.{{cite web|rname=noa_tweet}}

=== Area differences ===
* The ground of the shore to the north of the landing site in [[Twilight River]] has grass, instead of decayed leaves and dirt.{{cite web|rname=japanese_official_topic}}
* The area around the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] in the [[Distant Tundra]] has been made wider, and an ice trail was added.{{cite web|rname=official_site}}
* The two [[data file]]s in the [[Armored Mawdad]] arena are out in the open, rather than inside mushrooms.{{cite youtube|rname=announcement_trailer}}
