In November, Pikmin 4 will get a free title update that adds a host of new features to the game, which lets players enjoy its brand of small-scale exploration in a whole new way. Among them are a new photo mode, new Pikmin to collect, and some new modes of play for cozy players and master Pikmin leaders alike. The new Field camera can be accessed at any time during gameplay, letting players snap the perfect shots.

Nintendo has announced a free update for Pikmin 4 that could remedy one of fans' biggest complaints about the game. (Yes, free. From Nintendo. We're shocked too, but we'll take it.) The update, which arrives in November, adds Fierce mode to make the game more challenging for those who want it. We don't know exactly what that will look like yet, but a higher difficulty level is a welcome addition to a game that is, for many players including myself, absolutely delightful.
