Pokémon Stadium coming to Nintendo Switch with confirmed release date
radiotimes.comTo the delight of fans, the Nintendo 64 classic Pokémon Stadium is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch. The turn-based strategy game will soon be available to those with a Switch Online Expansion pack membership. It has been rumoured for a while, but today we finally got a release date – and it's pretty soon!
First released back in 1999 amidst a global Pocket Monster craze, Pokémon Stadium was destined to be a classic. The Game Boy games were in everybody's hands, and the anime series and recent film cemented the craze. Ash Ketchum, Pikachu, and the whole cast of Pokémon were ubiquitous.
What better way to celebrate the moment than with a beautiful and colourful 3D game? We could battle our favourite creatures as three-dimensional models for the first time, and it looked gorgeous. Nintendo knew what they were doing back then – and judging by today's news, they still do.
It's great news for old-school and newbie fans of Pokémon Stadium that it's finally coming to the Switch. The console's online service offers other classic N64 titles like Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, and GoldenEye 007, so it only seems fair the Pokémon Stadium joins their ranks.
