Pokémon Stadium will be arriving for Nintendo Switch as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + expansion tier on April 12.
Nintendo announced the arrival of the first Pokemon Stadium for its subscription service last year, and we now know that the classic title will be arriving next week as part of the Expansion pack. Later this year, fans will also be able to enjoy Pokemon Stadium 2, although a release date for this title on the Switch has yet to be announced. A nice new addition to this 1998 classic N64 game is that the game now also supports online multiplayer battles via Switch Online.
