Why it matters
The spread from 100 to 60 splits along the same line in almost every review: the main game and the new Dandori Test mode land well, and the paid upgrade's scope is what reviewers argue about.
Key Facts
- Pikmin 4 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Everybody Challenge! Dandori Test released for Nintendo Switch 2 on November 12, 2026.
- The game holds a Metascore of 84 across 24 reviews.
- Player 2 scored it 100/100 and Nintendo Insider scored it 60/100.
- Nintendo Life called it a bargain at 8 pounds/$10.
- ElDesmarque said the content available at launch is sparse.
Player 2 gave it 100, Nintenduo 92, Gfinity and IGN Benelux 90, ElDesmarque 82, Nintendo Life 70 and Nintendo Insider 60. Reviewers praise the base game and the new Dandori Test mode, while several call the added content modest.
The new mode, Everybody Challenge! Dandori Test, is the part reviewers keep returning to. Gfinity described weekend Dandori Test showdowns and 4K graphics as making the game a weekly habit, and Nintenduo called the package the most complete Pikmin 4 yet and the series' most formidable challenge for veterans.
The doubts run the other way. ElDesmarque said the launch content is sparse and the technical improvements leave potential unrealized. Nintendo Life called it a bargain at 8 pounds/$10 but said the mode is still only sprouting. Nintendo Insider said the improved graphics alone justify the version for newcomers, and called it yet another Switch 2 port that is merely good.
