Gale of Darkness Gets Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Today


Fan-favorite Pokémon series Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness is now available to play again via Nintendo Switch 2.

We heard last month that the classic would arrive sometime in March via the Nintendo Switch Online subscription, and today that day has now come. As ever, though, you’ll need the pricier Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack tier to play GameCube titles.

Originally released in 2005, Gale of Darkness is a successor to the Pokémon Colosseum (and earlier Stadium) titles, though it is more notable for featuring a fan-favorite story mode featuring the very cool-looking Shadow Lugia.

Nintendo will follow up today’s launch with the addition of Pokémon Colosseum to Nintendo Switch Online at some point in the future, though there’s no word yet on when.

It’s a busy time for Pokémon fans, who have also been kept busy by the launch of brilliant spinoff Pokémon Pokopia. If you’re already playing that, be sure to check out our list of all the Pokémon in Pokopia, and take a look at our Things to Do First in Pokopia guide to make the most of your first few days. To help you get started, we’ve also got a list of 17 things that Pokopia doesn’t tell you, plus How to Raise the Environment Level and How to Raise Pokémon Comfort Level.
