Nintendo has just rolled out a new update for Pikmin 3 Deluxe, the 2020 Switch port of a Wii U banger, and this one’s targeted squarely at players on the newer Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.
The patch notes for Pikmin 3 Deluxe version 1.2.0 are small, but add two crucial new things – a resolution increase and GameShare support for Switch 2.
The official support page doesn’t specify what the new resolution is on Switch 2, and simply touts a “sharper image” in both handheld and TV mode.
Here’s the patch notes:
