Pikmin 4 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy Adds Voice Commands And A New Time Trial Mode

Acclaimed strategy title Pikmin 4 is making its way to Nintendo’s successor console later this year. Launching on November 12, Pikmin 4 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy introduces substantial technical enhancements alongside an innovative feature that lets players issue direct voice commands to Oatchi via the console’s integrated microphone.

This upcoming enhanced version also bundles Dandori Academy, a robust time-trial mode designed to test players’ organizational prowess. Enthusiasts can hone their strategies throughout the week before participating in official weekend exams—held every Friday, Sunday, and Saturday—to cement their records on global and friend leaderboards. Nintendo has outlined a roadmap featuring 72 distinct Dandori stages to be rolled out progressively post-launch.
