“Can’t Wait to Go Through It All Again”: Pokemon Stadium’s Launch on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Leaves the Fans High-Spirited

Nintendo has been active with the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack retro libraries lately. With one retro game being added every month, fans sure are having fun playing their childhood games again.

This month, the game launched on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack was Pokemon Stadium. Pokemon Stadium is a strategic battling game that allows players to battle their Pokemon in 3D arenas. Originally released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, this news has excited many fans of the classic game.

Fans loving the release of Pokemon Stadium

The official Nintendo YouTube channel recently released a video informing fans their beloved Pokemon Stadium game is coming on Nintendo Switch Online.

Fans were delighted to hear their beloved title was coming to Nintendo Switch. This nostalgic title has many fans reminiscing about the past times they played this game.

Some fans also pointed out that the art style of this game was top-tier, urging Nintendo to adopt the art style again.

While the release of the title on Nintendo Switch excited many fans, a fan pointed out they won’t be able to transfer their Pokemon from Gameboy.

Nintendo has left fans wondering when they will fix this problem. The Gameboy online emulator is all set up. This shows Nintendo has all the necessary things available to interconnect titles, but they are opting not to right now. A credible reason can be that Nintendo is focusing all its resources on the release of Nintendo Switch 2 right now.

With Nintendo pumping out a retro title every month for Nintendo Switch Online, fans are now seeing the value of the membership cost. Nintendo is trying its best to get users to join this membership too. They recently offered a 7-day trial for their online service.
