Pokémon Stadium Brings the Minigames to Nintendo Switch Online April 12

 

The next Nintendo 64 game to officially join Nintendo Switch Online has been unveiled – the seminal Pokémon battler, Pokémon Stadium. A new trailer for the game was released showing its scaled-up graphics on the back of a classic PokéTune. 

 

 

Sadly, one of the main draws for the game, sending Pokémon from your classic adventures on Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow, won’t be available for this iteration of Pokémon Stadium, likely due to the fact there’s no way to connect the Game Boy (or Nintendo 3DS) to the Nintendo Switch at this time, nor are the games on the Game Boy section of Nintendo Switch Online.

 

Luckily, the minigames from the original release are still here and intact!
