Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness now available via Nintendo Switch Online

nso.jpg

After being teased in the initial trailer for the GameCube Classics app and formally being announced to release in March during last month's Pokemon Day festivities, Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness has just launched on the Nintendo Switch 2 for those subscribed to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Those who have recently picked up the Nintendo Switch releases of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen will be disappointed to hear there is no GBA connectivity, with Pokemon caught in this game not being able to be brought into other titles. Regardless, it remains a fantastic standalong experience that is worth a try if you've happened to have overlooked it and have an active subscription.

Its predecessor Pokemon Colosseum is yet to receive a formal release date, though was also featured as a part of the initial GameCube Classics app announcement.

It's like a heard the voices of thousands of retro price sellers for this game cry out suddenly and were silenced

Edit: just checked pricecharting, hasn't hit them yet but I hope it does

I’d be very surprised if it did come down. Even if the game is more accessible, the GameCube disc availability hasn’t changed.

"(Please note that you will not be able to transfer Pokémon from Game Boy™ Advance titles to this title.)"

So sorry to break it to you, but it isn't possible.

It’s not. The controller adapter only does controller inputs, no accessories.

Holy shit that game is expensive. Were there only a few copies?
Lucky I've still got my copy, with no plans on ever selling it.
