During the Nintendo Direct presentation that happened on June 21, fans got a deeper look into Pikmin 4, the next major first-party game launching for the Switch next month. Nintendo showed off the upgrade system for Oatchi, players' loyal dog companion, as well as an underground area, a new type of Pikmin, and much more.
For Pikmin fans out there that are interested in throwing down some cash before the game comes out, this Pikmin 4 preorder guide will show readers where they can secure a copy. We'll also go over any of the preorder bonuses for Pikmin 4, too, so enthusiasts can narrow down the best retailer to choose from.
Updated July 19, 2023: We've updated our Pikmin 4 preorder guide with new items from Target and GameStop.
Pikmin 4 Preorder Bonuses Guide
My Nintendo Store
There doesn't seem to be any preorder bonuses for Pikmin 4 on the My Nintendo Store, in the US, at least. Those that live in the UK can preorder Pikmin 4 on the shop for its base price and receive a mobile phone holder (as seen in the image below).
There's also a three-piece keyring set available for preorders, but Nintendo fans will need to shell out a couple of extra bucks. As of writing, the keyring bundle appears to be sold out, but keep checking back before the game launches to see if more stock comes in.
Walmart
Walmart currently has a preorder bonus available for Pikmin 4, and there's no extra charge. The bonus is a stainless steel water bottle with different Pikmin types walking in a line. Right now, the Standard preorder appears to be out of stock, but the water bottle version is still up for grabs.
Best Buy
Best Buy has revealed a special tote bag that Pikmin fans can get for preordering. Check it out below:
Target
For those that pick up their Pikmin 4 preorder in-store from Target can get a cute little keychain featuring Oatchie and the three main Pikmin types.
GameStop
GameStop's offering an in-store bonus for Pikmin 4 preorders, which happens to be a snazzy seven-piece pin set.
Amazon
Preorders are available on Amazon too, but there's no pre-order bonus at the moment.
For anyone looking to save a couple of bucks, it's worth noting that Pikmin 4 can be redeemed with a Nintendo Switch Game Voucher. Folks can purchase a pair of vouchers for $100 and can use them to download two select Switch titles. So, if someone were to use the voucher for Pikmin 4 and another upcoming $60 Switch game, they can save up to $20. However, to purchase the vouchers, you need to be subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online.
We will keep this guide updated as more preorder bonuses (if any) are put out by retailers.
Pikmin 4 launches exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on July 21, 2023.
