Pikmin 1 & 2 Digital Options

If you prefer to own the games digitally, here are your options:

Standalone

If you only want to play either Pikmin 1 or Pikmin 2, you can find each game available as a standalone release on the Switch eShop for $29.99 / £24.99.

Digital Bundle

Alternatively, you can choose the digital bundle on the eShop, which includes both games at a cost of $49.99 / £39.99. This option offers a more cost-effective way of getting both games, so it is recommended if you want to play both.

Cheapest Way To Play

As you can see, the digital bundle provides the best value for money (unless there are any current physical discounts). However, you can actually purchase both games for an even lower price by using discounted Switch eShop credit. By purchasing a $50 eShop voucher at 5% off using the code NLIFE5, you can get an extra 5% off the already discounted bundle price.

In the UK, the bundle is priced at £39.99. UK readers can either purchase a £50 voucher to cover the cost or buy a £15 voucher and a £25 voucher. Don’t forget to use the code NLIFE5 for a 5% discount, allowing you to save even more.
