There will be splitscreen co-op so that you can play with one other person in Story mode. Pretty self explanatory.
The Piklopedia has been added to #Pikmin3 Deluxe! Anytime you encounter a new creature, they’ll receive an entry in the Piklopedia from each of the game’s brave explorers. #NintendoTreehouseLivehttps://t.co/MajJI8FwOP pic.twitter.com/8N3Re6GAwC

The Piklopedia will let you review notes of the various creatures, Pikmin, fruit and more as your explorers gather up data.

Last but not least are fun multiplayer game modes, with Bingo Battle shown off here. As you might expect, get a Bingo by acquiring the items on your list and win! You can sabotage your opponent, or reroll something on your board if you use the cherries you find scattered around. There’s only one map, so be quick and be smart!

Last but not least, you can get the demo and carry over your save to the full game and unlock Ultra-Spicy difficulty and other perks. What could they be…?
