I clicked on this thinking my version of Pikmin 3 was getting updated.

I play it on Wii U.

Seeing how poorly Nintendo's servers can handle Smash, with just 4 players and some items at most...
I imagine that actual online Pikmin 3 Bingo Battle, with 4 captains, 100 pikmin, dozens of enemies and treasures, and random items, all being projected across multiple cameras, would completely destroy their servers to host. It definitely has to be hosted client-side, in a way that doesn't have to synch all that information across both consoles.
Which is exactly what they've given us. They could probably set it up in a way that lets Switch 1 players in on the fun, but logistically this was the most efficient approach. Weird that it's only Bingo Battle though.

Haven't seen the video yet. PLEASE don't give my hope up! I've been wanting an online mode for 13 YEARS! THIS BETTER NOT BE CLICKBAIT!
Edit: So it kind of is. It's switch 2 only, and it's game chat. Honestly though, this is the closest we've gotten, so I'm happy, although I dont have a switch 2

NINTENDO !! ADD ONLINE MATCHMAKING WITH STRANGERS TO A PIKMIN VS MODE AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

Online Bingo Battle may be the first solid reason to buy the Switch 2

i wish i had friends

crazy to think this guy first uploaded 2 weeks ago and now has almost 100 subs

I imagine that since these are free updates, that the people responsible for working on it were told to not put too much effort into it. That probably explains why they took the easy route of screen share "online" co-op instead of actual online

Ohh that was what the update was for

Have now tried bingo battle on gameshare and it is as good as expected... but I would have liked it to be fullscreen mode... nevermind.  But this MUST be possible for co-op mission mode! WHY did they nor do it? Wwhhyyyy!????

BINGO BAAATTTLLLEEEEE

0:57 yes I am because I prefer Pikmin 2 vs to bingo battle

Mission mode is the best, my kids and I, love battle enemies and find treasure modes, they should make these modes two player on gameshare... unless I missed it and this is what they did?
I think leaving these out of Pikmin 4 was a big mistake, the dandori slop modes are so lazy in comparisson.

ofcourse theres a catch... </3
no multiplayer for the other game modes kinda sucks

Was I the only that heard it was only switch 2 and got dissapointed? Why did Miyamoto do this 🥀


Also having to Pay for Nintendo Switch Online and Online of any other console should never happen. Why do WE have to spend more.

Bros flexing on me that he has friends and I don't. Well I have the switch2 I'm not lonely... You are

Why no 60fps??

I don’t mean to flex but I did run a bingo battle tournament via parsec and yuzu that took 4 months and it was something I’m literally buying a switch 2 just for online bingo battle

I hope for Pikmin 3 Online Story Co-op sometime

Pikmin 4 doesn't even have local co-op, only that stupid little brother controller mode from Mario Galaxy, I doubt they even wanna touch Pikmin 2 to begin with, despite it being a native switch version, and there's absolutely no hope for Pikmin 1, but Pikmin 3 would be enough for me

why don't you have a switch 2.
