Nintendo has today rolled out an update for the Switch title Pikmin 3 Deluxe, bumping the game up to Version 1.2.0.

The English patch notes aren't live just yet, but according to the official Japanese webpage, this update increased the resolution on Switch 2, across both the portable and docked modes.

Along with this, it's also added GameShare support! (thanks, OatmealDome). Here's a rough translation of the Japanese patch notes:

Nice. Pleasant surprise for a stealth Nintendo switch 2 upgrade. Hopefully pikmin 4 is around the corner!

Good that they're still putting out free updates (still hoping for Legends: Arceus). I wonder if this one is a precursor to a Switch 2 Edition for Pikmin 4. It is September Direct season, so it wouldn't be surprising if we got one revealed soon.

Is framerate upgraded too?

I adored this game on the Wii U and I really need to revisit this franchise. I haven't even bothered to play Pikmin 4 yet either! These games are also great co-op session games. Even the ones that don't have true multiplayer are fun in co-op. Just pass the controller back and forth between each day. That is what my brother and I did.
