Pikmin 4 Gets a Free Switch 2 Demo on Nov 2, No Pikmin 5
Did Nintendo's surprise Pikmin Day Direct tease Pikmin 5?
Pikmin 4's free Switch 2 demo drops November 2, and your save carries over. The full Switch 2 Edition follows November 12. It adds 72 Dandori Academy stages over time, plus timed weekend exams.
Nintendo also made November 1 an annual Pikmin Day.
The verdict: There's no Pikmin 5, and we'd still call it worth nine minutes of your time. The free demo lets you test the upgrade before you pay.
