Pikmin 3 Deluxe (Switch)

Pikmin 3 Deluxe and the Pikmin 1 + 2 compilation offer distinct experiences for Nintendo Switch owners. A notable divergence lies in the age appropriateness, as Pikmin 3 Deluxe is rated suitable for ages 3 and up, while Pikmin 1 + 2 carries a higher age rating of 7. Furthermore, Pikmin 3 Deluxe boasts a significantly broader range of listed genres, including elements like 'Turn based' and 'Flight simulator' alongside 'Adventure' and 'Strategy,' compared to the more focused Action/Adventure/Strategy pairing of the older titles. While both are published by Nintendo and come on a physical cartridge for the Switch, Pikmin 3 Deluxe appears to target a slightly broader, possibly younger audience with its expanded genre tags. Ultimately, the choice depends on whether you prefer the newer, arguably more accessible title or the bundled classic entry.
