New ‘Pikmin 3’ DLC Brings on Hordes of Enemies

This morning, Nintendo announced that the latest batch of Pikmin 3 DLC is available for purchase on the Nintendo eShop. Adding four maps consisting of areas from the game’s story mode, these missions have been added to the “Battle Enemies” section of challenge mode.

As with the last set of content, the maps can be played both alone or cooperatively, where would-be astronauts will lead their army of Pikmin to take out as many predators within a certain time limit. One of the maps will be released for free with the latest update for the game, whereas the rest can be purchased together for the low low price of $1.99 if the first taste keeps you wanting more. All and all, I think it’s a pretty good deal.

New and old enemies alike seem to be making an appearance.

I was worried when Nintendo stepped into the realm of DLC, but considering the way they’ve been handling it, (low prices, mostly unique content and usually developed post release,) I have to admit that these updates are a welcomed surprise. I mean four maps for two dollars? That’s better than horse armor, that’s for sure.
