Is speedrunning on the switch going to be allowed?

With the official port to switch being announced and released I am wondering whether runs on it will count?

Im not a mod but i am predicting that there will be another subcategory for the switch. I am hoping it will be on the leaderboards because i haven't gotten my hands on the GCN version of the game. But try asking in the pikmin discord.

from mods: General announcement: we will be waiting a few days at least before making a decision on boards for the ports. We will see how the game pans out then go from there.

great! exited to try runs on the switch version.

The switch controls are a bit wonky if you haven't tried it already. Maybe it's better if you're used to the wii version but I found it borderline unplayable, even after setting up custom controls on the Switch menu. The c-stick is now a two-button combination and I can't customize a two button combination, so it just hurts my brain.

I hope switch speedrunning gets allowed soon, ive done a few super casual speedruns on the wii and gamecube versions and am eager to actually submit a time on the switch port

personally i think the switch has the best version of the controls for 1 and 2 once you get used to them, and i dont use motion controls

I learned the game on the wii version, so finally having a controller version where i can swap the pikmin im holding is great

Looking forwards to seeing how optimized these Pikmin remasters are, and how fast we can speedrun them!
