The original 151 Pokémon are here, and the roar of the stadium is calling your name – but do you have what it takes to be the very best?
Starting April 12, the Pokémon Stadium game is bringing thrilling Pokémon battles to the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online library for everyone with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. Originally released on the Nintendo 64 system in 2000, this battle arena game features every Pokémon from the Pokémon Red Version, Pokémon Blue Version and Pokémon Yellow Version games alongside a bevy of solo and multiplayer* modes designed to test your mettle as a Pokémon Trainer!
In Pokémon Stadium, you can battle it out solo with your chosen team of six Pokémon across four tournaments in Stadium mode or run it back against Kanto’s elite Trainers in Gym Leader Castle. Winning in either of these modes will secure a spot for your champion team in Victory Palace, but completing both modes will unlock a final battle to challenge even the ultimate Trainer.
Looking for some multiplayer free-form fun? Compete in no-holds-barred battles with friends in the 1-4 player Free Battle mode, or party it up with a collection of nine minigames in the Kids Club. It might be called the Kids Club, but even seasoned Trainers may feel the heat in the Sushi-Go-Round kitchen, or after reaching new heights in Magikarp’s Splash!
With a Nintendo Switch Online membership, you can enjoy online play and the Save Data Cloud feature in a large selection of compatible games, along with access to a growing library of classic NES™, Super NES™ and Game Boy™ games, a smartphone app that enhances features of supported games, and the competitive online battle game PAC-MAN 99.
The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership plan features all the same great benefits of a Nintendo Switch Online membership, but with access to an additional library of Nintendo 64, SEGA Genesis™ and Game Boy Advance games with added online play. A paid Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership also grants access to the Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass and Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion DLC** at no extra cost.
Plus, save on two digital games with Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers***, available as a Nintendo Switch Online member exclusive!
