Top comment"Piranha plant might not be a popular character but it packs a hidden punch. Unlike my normal practice of consuming plants (both in solid and smoke form), this plant will consume YOU; or at least, hopefully, your enemies. ...Nintendo isn’t as bad as other companies but after being released on the Wii U then coming to switch it should’ve had every character included."

Piranha Plant joins the battle as a stand-alone fighter in the Super Smash Bros.™ Ultimate game. With its powerful bite, poison breath, and ability to call in Petey Piranha for a larger-than-life final smash, this fighter's ferocity is as sharp as its teeth. Ready your pipes and flowerpots; your opponent won't see you coming. Then again, Piranha Plant doesn't really see either. It doesn't have eyes. Note: Piranha Plant is not a part of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass. Therefore, this fighter does not come with a stage or selection of music. This item cannot be returned or refunded, please visit to learn more.Top comment"Piranha plant might not be a popular character but it packs a hidden punch.

Top comment"The last time a new main line Pikmin game came out was on the Wii U (Hey Pikmin doesn’t count it’s a side game). ...great game, nice graphics, a sequel of popular game"
See all customer reviewsSee all Physical Video GamesProduct Description
Raise a crop of plantlike Pikmin and guide them on an endearing expedition! Meet Pikmin, small, plantlike creatures you can grow, pluck, guide, and send into battle with enemies multiple times their size! These loyal, curious helpers come in different types, including fire-resistant Red Pikmin and brand-new Ice Pikmin. The fate of your Pikmin is yours to decide—will you carefully avoid danger or rush into situations despite potential…losses? Create your own explorer and navigate a big planet from a pint-sized perspective. Customize your look then embark on a journey to find and rescue fellow explorers. Traverse a world that seems larger than life as you see everyday objects like plants, benches, and pots tower over your explorer and Pikmin. Revisit these diverse areas at night and use brand-new Glow Pikmin to light the way forward…just watch out for berserk wildlife. Go explorer vs. explorer in Dandori Battles. In the world of the Pikmin 4 game, explorers like to get in on some friendly competition. Throughout the story you’ll encounter characters itching to compete in Dandori Battles—see who can collect the most objects within the time limit. Gathering plenty of Pikmin to carry even more treasure is a key part of Dandori Battle strategy. You can also face off in Dandori Battles on the same system against a friend or family member, with more stages to play as the story progresses.Top comment"The last time a new main line Pikmin game came out was on the Wii U (Hey Pikmin doesn’t count it’s a side game). ...great game, nice graphics, a sequel of popular game"

Resident Evil 4 joins Leon S. Kennedy six years after his hellish experiences in the biological disaster of Raccoon City. His unmatched resolve caused him to be recruited as an agent reporting directly to the president of the United States. With the experience of multiple missions on his back, Leon is dispatched to rescue the president’s recently kidnapped daughter. Leon tracks her to a secluded European village, however after making first contact he discovers a fervor beyond reason grips the local populace. As a title that set the standard for the later Resident Evil franchise, the original Resident Evil 4 introduced the Third-Person-Camera to the long-running series, which has shipped over 127 million units worldwide since the first title debuted in 1996. Now, this reimagined tale of survival in the face of overwhelming terror returns to deliver a visually stunning modern gaming experience that is true to the promise of the original release. Many team members from the production of 2019’s top-selling and critically acclaimed Resident Evil 2 also make their return to delve deeper into the essence of Resident Evil 4. Fans and newcomers alike can revel in both the new and familiar, as RE Engine heightens the design and creative direction of the original game.Top comment"Classic made modern...An already amazing game remade with a modern feel turned out to be sensational!...Modern....Modern shooter controls and visuals make this classic survival horror game a must play for any gamer."

Two years have passed since the original Splatoon™ game was released, and two years have also passed in Inkopolis! So expect a fresh wave of fashion, not to mention new weapons and gear. Dual wield the new Splat Dualies or stick to mainstays like chargers and rollers, which have been remixed with new strategic possibilities. As always, Turf War is the favored sport among Inklings, but they also dig ranked battles, taking down Octarians in a robust single-player campaign, and battling enemy Salmonids in one dangerous part-time job! This item cannot be returned or refunded, please visit to learn more.Top comment"Best Game...This is one of the best switch games I own.
