After Pikmin 3 Deluxe was announced for Switch, the original Pikmin 3 was removed from the Wii U eShop. There’s good news though: the game has returned. You can purchase a digital Wii U copy directly from the Wii U eShop or through Nintendo’s website. It’s also still at the Nintendo Selects price of $19.99.

It’s unclear what exactly is happening with these Wii U removals. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for instance, is currently unavailable (at least at this exact moment) following its Switch release. Super Mario 3D World is still up on the Wii U store despite its Switch announcement yesterday.

Today’s development did at least bring about good news for Pikmin 3. Here’s hoping it remains on the Wii U eShop.

Thanks to Jake and DAMMITLOUIE for the tip.

Pikmin 3 removed from the Wii U eShop

Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

When Nintendo announced Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for Switch, you may recall that Nintendo pulled the listing from the Wii U eShop. Something similar has now happened with Pikmin 3.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe was revealed for Switch earlier today, and the original version is no longer available on the Wii U eShop. Searching for the game doesn’t bring up any results. A Pikmin 3 Wii U listing is still up on Nintendo’s website (for now anyway), but there’s no option to buy a digital copy.
