Pokemon Puzzle League joins Nintendo Switch Online next week

Pokemon Puzzle League is joining Nintendo Switch Online next week, Nintendo has announced. It will be available to Expansion Pass subscribers starting July 15, 2022.

This continues the pattern of Nintendo releasing at least one new N64 title each month. However, Pokemon Puzzle League marks the first N64 game that had not been previously announced for the Switch Online service.

Here’s an overview of Pokemon Puzzle League with more details:

Welcome to Pokémon Puzzle League! Being selected to participate in the Official Puzzle League Tournament is one of the greatest honors a Pokémon Trainer can earn. In this brand new type of Pokémon battle, you’ll have to use your strongest Pokémon to compete against the very best Trainers in Puzzle League Village. To succeed in Pokémon Puzzle League, your fingers have to be fast and your brain has to work even faster. True Pokémon Puzzle Masters will discover many ways to play the game, but the basic idea is to destroy puzzle pieces by matching up three or more blocks of the same color. The more puzzle pieces you eliminate at the same time, the more points you’ll score. If you’re battling another Trainer, you can send powerful attacks to their puzzle board by completing big Combos and Skill Chains. If you can’t clear your stack of puzzle pieces before they reach the top of the screen, you’re doomed. You’ll discover many challenges as you travel through Puzzle League Village, from the exciting 3D Puzzle Mode to the brain bruising exercises at Pokémon Puzzle University. The best way to experience Pokémon Puzzle League is to bring a friend along on your adventure. Heated two-player Pokémon battles are so intense and action-packed that you just might forget to breathe! Are you ready for this new type of Pokémon Battle?
