Nintendo Switch Release Date, Latest News & Update: ‘Pokemon’ Joins List of Games Available For Upcoming Game Console

The Nintendo Switch is expected to be released in March though most are interested to see what games the latest game console will bring. Already known are the iconic “Super Mario” and “Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” but another familiar title could be in the mix – “Pokemon”. This somehow sets records straight following weeks of “Pokemon Stars” which is associated with “Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon”.

The inclusion of “Pokemon” first came out from GameSpot, but has since been taken down, Yahoo reported. The statement mentioned several games such as “Super Mario”, “Zelda”, “NBA”, “Skyrim” and “Pokemon” aside from the Nintendo Switch coming with accessories. That said, folks who were previously questioning the games available for the game console can breathe a big sigh of relief.

However, there is another angle worth noting for the games to be made available for the Nintendo Switch. This includes the game versions that would be used – meaning they may not necessarily be new versions made specifically for the Nintendo Switch. For those who could care less, the fact that they will not be limited to a handful of titles should now make them seriously consider getting one.

The Nintendo Switch will reportedly cost $300 when launched on March 3, CNet reported. This much-awaited game console will also have a Nintendo Switch online service. This will be a paid service that will initially launch on a trial basis. The said feature will be announced later in 2017.

Other noteworthy information about the console includes that it won’t be region-locked and that it will come with a battery that can last from 2.5 to 6 hours. A portable battery accessory will be available to charge it (via USB-C) on the go while the Joy-con controller can be split into two, a provision allowing two players play together.
