Nintendo Has Removed Pikmin 3 From The Wii U eShop Ahead Of The Switch Release – Nintendo Life

Did you handle to get a digital copy of Pikmin 3 for Wii U prior to it was removed? How do you feel about Nintendo taking down games from the Wii U eShop while this digital shop is still up and running? Leave a remark listed below.

Its official: Pikmin 3 Deluxe is arriving on the Nintendo Switch this October and will come jam-packed with all of the DLC and even some brand name brand-new side story content including Olimar and Louie.
What does this mean for the future of Pikmin 3 on the Wii U? While we would not typically be asking a question like this – as discovered by Nintendo Everything, the original variation of this video game has now been delisted from this specific eShop (this includes the removal of the DLC too). Yep, its gone!
On the Nintendo site, the Wii U game page for Pikmin 3 is there, but theres no longer a way to purchase the game. If you own a physical copy of this title, you can clearly still play it on your Wii U and if youve already bought a digital copy from the systems eShop, you shouldnt have any problems downloading the game.
Nintendo has actually pulled this very same relocation in the past with games like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze – ahead of Deluxe re-releases on Switch (although in stating this, Tropical Freeze has actually given that gone back to the Wii U eShop and is available for purchase). Pikmin 3 on Wii U was priced at $19.99 and the Deluxe version is valued at $59.99 on Nintendos hybrid system.
