The moment we’ve all been waiting for.
With a new update available for the Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics application on Nintendo Switch 2, version 1.6.0 introduces the addition of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. For a quick reminder as to what the game entails, here is the official NSO description:
Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness (Nintendo)
Released in: 2005
Number of Players: 1 – 2
Experience the extra dimension!
Shadow Pokémon have reappeared in the Orre Region in this role-playing game, released for the Nintendo GameCube™ system in 2005. You are a young boy living at the Orre Region’s Pokémon HQ Lab with his mom and little sister who gets swept up in a grand adventure when an incident occurs at the lab. With your Aura Reader, which can detect Shadow Pokémon that have had the doors to their hearts shut, and the Snag Machine, which can capture Shadow Pokémon from evil Trainers, it’s up to you to save the world. Stand against evil and reopen the doors to the shut hearts of the Shadow Pokémon to restore them to their natural selves! (Please note that you will not be able to transfer Pokémon from Game Boy™ Advance titles to this title.)
