FULL STORY ======================================================================

You can't say Nintendo Switch Online is devoid of interesting inclusions, as an upcoming addition of an N64 classic proves.

The Nintendo Switch 's online subscription service is set to get Pokmon
Puzzle League on July 15. The N64 puzzler comes hot on the heels of Pokmon Snap which came to the service just last month.

Pokmon Puzzle League will also be the first game added to Nintendo Switch Online 's N64 roster outside of the initially announced lineup. As such, we should expect a second wave of games to start cropping up periodically throughout this year and potentially the next.

Pokmon Puzzle League is a 'Match 3' style puzzle game where you shift blocks of various colors. Line up three or more of the same type of block, and they'll be cleared from the board. In doing so, you'll hopefully be able to chain together combos of block lines to score big and set your opponent back.

Pokmon Puzzle League is somewhat unique as it's closely tied to the Gen 1 Pokmon anime that was airing at the time. As such, it features clips and
voice samples from the anime quite a rare sight on the N64 in general.

That means you'll be able to play as and against characters from that iconic first anime season. Ash, Misty, and Brock are joined by stalwarts like Gary Oak, Team Rocket, and the Elite Four.

Frankly, we've been inundated with all kinds of Pokmon titles this year. Pokmon Legends Arceus delighted players in January by shaking up the tried
and true formula. And in November, Gen 9 games Pokmon Scarlet and Violet are launching on Nintendo Switch, bringing a new locale and a slew of new pocket monsters to catch.

While the N64 wasn't home to a mainline Pokmon game, it had plenty of memorable spin-offs. Hopefully, we'll eventually get Pokmon Stadium and its sequel on the Nintendo Switch Online service, too. Not just for the cinematic battles, but also for those delightfully silly party minigames. Check out our Nintendo Switch Online N64 guide for every announced game so far
