Walmart is selling the digital version of Pikmin 4 for Nintendo Switch at $39.88, down from $59.99. That is a $20 discount with instant delivery.
The timing matters. Nintendo confirmed a Switch 2 Edition of Pikmin 4 launches November 12th, 2026, priced at $69.99. It adds polished visuals, voice commands for the dog companion, and a new challenge mode called Dandori Academy. Owners of the current version can upgrade for $10, meaning buying now at $39.88 gets you the full Switch 2 experience for $49.88 total.
The original Switch version is not a throwaway entry. It extends the series puzzle formula with a dog companion and leans harder into the darker narrative threads earlier games only gestured at. The full review explains why that tonal shift changes what the game actually is.
