Gameplay

  • The game now sports an updated control scheme similar to Pikmin 3 Deluxe.
    • the Right Stick on the Switch (dual Joy-Con) is now used to freely control the camera.
    • In order to Swarm, the player must hold down the L Button on the Switch while tilting the Right Stick on the Switch (dual Joy-Con).
    • Left Stick click on the Switch (dual Joy-Con) now resets the cursor.
    • Right Stick click on the Switch (dual Joy-Con) now activates the Napsack upgrade.
    • Pressing the - Button on the 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 the A Button on the Switch or the B Button on the Switch will move the cursor.
    • Pressing the button repeatedly for continued plucking is no longer required, simply holding the A Button on the Switch while plucking will have leaders continue until no more sprouts are left.
