The back says it will have 35 missions, the addition of a side story, add hints, badges (the "achievement" like system), difficulty options and the Piklopedia. pic.twitter.com/0gYbz2a9wQ
It also says Nintendo Switch Online is needed for certain modes. 🤔 https://t.co/41lLUj8ZJx

According to PushDustin's latest set of Tweets, a new display in Japan showcases what the back of the Pikmin 3 Deluxe Switch boxart may look like. It mentions some of the new features coming to the game, such as difficulty options and the Piklopedia, and it also mentions that Nintendo Switch Online may be necessary for some features (presumably just leaderboards). Either way, it looks like the game may have some more announcements headed our way. Here's hoping that Nintendo elaborates on the details soon!
