I sure hope you’re into Pokémon. And not just any Pokémon games, but the more niche releases, including one that is almost impossible to play without transferring your Game Boy Color save file. Why? Because that’s what we got with this week’s Nintendo Switch Online update. That’s right, subscribers now have access to Pokémon Trading Card Game, while those who upgraded to the Expansion Pack can play Pokémon Stadium 2. That’s cool news, but are either of these games worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Nintendo Power, Computer & Video Games and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when these games first came out. So, go and throw out that N64 transfer cable, because you’re not going to need it for this episode of Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew.
