After this Pikmin 3 Deluxe was announced, VICE of overseas media reported that the download version of Pikmin 3 was deleted from the Nintendo eShop where you can purchase download software etc. of Wii U. According to VICE, Pikmin 3 was sold at Nintendo eShop for Wii U in the US for $ 20 (about 2100 yen), but it seems that this was deleted. VICE said, 'It's clear that we are selling the newly announced Pikmin 3 Deluxe for $60 (the price in Japan is 6578 yen including tax).'
In addition, Nintendo is also deleting paid download content for Pikmin 3 from the Nintendo eShop. So if you own Pikmin 3 and haven't purchased paid download content yet, you'll need to purchase Pikmin 3 Deluxe to play it. Therefore, a Twitter user who said that he had Pikmin 3 but did not purchase the download content, 'I have a disk version of Pikmin 3, but I can not buy it, I can not do it. Nintendo deletes the download content Had I been notified 24 hours in advance, I would have bought it.'
Patrick please tell me you're going to be pressing Nintendo on this.I have a physical copy but I'd really like to purchase the game's DLC.If they had even given folks a 24-hours warning that would have been sufficient for me to go in and scoop it up.pic.twitter.com/ckQIleWV9X

Although the download version of Pikmin 3 has been deleted from the Nintendo eShop in the United States, the download version of Pikmin 3 ($ 19.99) can be purchased on Amazon.com at the time of article creation. In addition, when I started Wii U and confirmed whether Pikmin 3 was sold at the Nintendo eShop in Japan, the Japanese version was also sold at the time of writing the article. However, the selling price is 6270 yen.
Nintendo has deleted the game titles distributed on the old platform in the past along with the appearance of the ported version, and deleted the Wii U version shortly before the release of the Nintendo Switch version of `` Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze '' I heard he was doing it.

Mr. Hitoshi Matsumoto in downtown is also a fan of Pikmin, so in the “Pikmin 3 Direct” delivered in June 2013, he is actually playing Pikmin 3 while talking to his creator, Shigeru Miyamoto . It is now possible to see live play, which is rare in the world.
