Pikmin 4 Free Update Adds Decor Pikmin, Photo Mode

Over two years after its initial launch, Pikmin 4 has a new free update on the way. Nintendo announced plans and shared a trailer for the new content, which adds Decor Pikmin, updates to creature activity levels and a new photo mode. The Decor Pikmin were first seen in the Pikmin Bloom app, which celebrates its fourth anniversary. You’ll find them sporting decorative items throughout the world, so keep an eye out. Beyond that, photo mode introduces an in-game field camera and the new Relaxed mode adjusts creature activity levels so they won’t attack unless you attack them first. There’s also a Fierce mode that flips creature activity in the opposite direction. You can see a sample of what’s new in the trailer below.

Decor Pikmin you gather in the new Pikmin 4 update can also be transferred to your squad in Pikmin Bloom, including some that are completely new! Field Camera : Take stylish photos of your character, your squad and whatever you like with this new feature. Set the scene with various angles, hide characters, and decorate your pics with filters, frames and stamps. The camera may even be the key to adding Decor Pikmin to your crew … New Creature Activity Levels : Move at your own pace and enjoy the new Relaxed mode, where creatures won’t attack unless you attack them, or kick things up a notch in the fiery Fierce mode. These modes can be selected when starting a new game or changed at any point after from the game’s settings. Source: Press release
