Nintendo has announced the next Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online game. Pokémon Puzzle League, a block-matching puzzle game based on the Pokémon anime, will be coming to the Expansion Pack service on the 15th. Continuing with the service's one-game-a-month release pace, this is the first game in the lineup that was not already announced in last September's Nintendo Direct, and follows last month's addition of Pokémon Snap.

The only official Pokemon game (outside of maybe some mobile game) as far as I'm aware to star Ash, and it's just Panel De Pon.

Japan is getting two games this month - Custom Robo and Custom Robo V2. (Pokémon Puzzle League never released over there)

I know it's asking a lot, but Custom Robo is one of those Japan-only Nintendo games that really should have received some retroactive late official translation. I know it's a text heavy game, so it is asking a lot. Still, those games are charming, and you can tell it's a gem of a experience on the Nintendo 64, that the West sadly missed out on.

I honestly don't remember this game on N64, Stadium and Snap? Hell yeah. This? First I heard of it.

Looks rather boring, in my opinion, they could have offered another game.

RE2 N64 version is a really good game, but that belongs to Capcom.

So this is just pokemon themed tetris attack?

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Oh, so it's not TETRIS ATTACK

 

[XDel]

Wake me up when they bring over Perfect Dark.

 

[PacBunny]

Can we just get a N64 Mini and call it a day?

 

[ertaboy356b]

Oh man, I thought it was the GBC game.

Wish they would add Robopon in the mix.

It's just yet another reskin of Panel De Pon (or Tetris Attack as they originally tried to localize it in the West). Its fine for what it is, but don't go in thinking that Pokemon is in any way important to the actual experience.

I loved this game ... had it on my N64 and my friends where always shocked when fighting against Mewtwo as he wasn't to bad.
Still won most of the time.

Just couldn't do the "3d" stuff very well

 

[duwen]

I never played the N64 version, but I still have my boxed copy of the GBC version. Fun game.

 

[SG854]

Good game still not getting expansion pack
