automatic software update.

The pack of four stages is based on locations from the game’s Story Mode

stages in Mission Mode, these new challenges can be played solo or
cooperatively with a friend. High scores earned in this mode will be
displayed on a global rankings leaderboard, encouraging friendly
competition with other players all around the world.

To purchase the new downloadable content, Wii U users with broadband

new stages from the Mission Mode menu in Pikmin 3 after the game
has been restarted.

Pikmin 3 is the latest installment in the fan-favorite Pikmin
series. Designed by Shigeru Miyamoto, the game finds three space
explorers leading an army of adorable Pikmin on a quest to find supplies
for their home planet. The new stages in “Battle Enemies!” mark the
second set of downloadable content in Pikmin 3. Additional
downloadable content for Mission Mode launched earlier this year in the
Nintendo eShop.
