In order to survive the planet, restore the missing parts of Olimar\u2019s ship and eventually escape, players must enlist the help of tiny plant-like creatures called Pikmin. There are three types of Pikmin, each with its own unique skills: Red Pikmin are immune to fire, Yellow Pikmin can use Bomb Rocks, and Blue Pikmin can breathe under water. Players will need to use the combined strength of the different Pikmin types to overcome obstacles, build bridges, carry ship parts and take down hungry creatures. Time to get to work!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch\/related-articles:151644 @ 2023-09-22T04:07:05+01:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;In Pikmin 2, Captain Olimar and his colleague Louie head back to the strange planet on a quest to pay off the debts of their company. With the Pikmin once again here to help, players can split Olimar and Louie into separate squads to cover more ground and achieve goals faster \u2013 teamwork makes the dream work! As well as exploring the planet\u2019s surface, players can also now dive underground into challenging caves full of treasure and dangerous bosses. Defeat them to earn special items that Olimar and Louie can use to expand their repertoire of skills. What\u2019s more, two new types of Pikmin make an appearance \u2013 the diminutive White Pikmin, who are both poisonous and immune to poison themselves, and the stout Purple Pikmin, who add some heavyweight clout to the Pikmin ranks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch\/related-articles:151645 @ 2023-09-22T04:07:05+01:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p>This release has got us wondering if anyone here in our community has been holding out for the hard copy of the game. <em>So vote in our poll and leave a comment below.<\/em><em><br \/><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"poll-will-you-be-getting-pikmin-1plus2s-physical-release-on-switch\" class=\"poll\" data-uri=\"polls\/will_you_be_getting_pikmin_1plus2s_physical_release_on_switch\" data-id=\"8152\" data-question=\"Will you be getting Pikmin 1+2's physical release on Switch?\">\n<div class=\"results hidden\">\n<h3 data-toc=\"Will you be getting Pikmin 1+2's physical release on Switch?\">Will you be getting Pikmin 1+2&#8217;s physical release on Switch?
