In case you missed it, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers will soon be able to gain access to a Pokémon classic.
On 9 August, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team is set to join the Game Boy Advance library - and we cannot wait.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team launched all the way back in 2005, so its comeback has certainly been a long time coming.

Unlike its counterpart Blue Rescue Team which was released on Nintendo DS, Red Rescue Team was only ever available on Game Boy Advance.
There was the 2020 remake Rescue Team DX but it didn't exactly exude the same charm as the original.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Nintendo Switch Online offers great value for money if you’re someone who enjoys diving back into favourites of yesteryear.
The top Expansion Pack tier will set you back £34.99 for one year, granting you access to bangers like the aforementioned Red Rescue Team as well as other N64 and Game Boy Advance hits like Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, and Metroid: Zero Mission.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom launches later this year. Take a look at the trailer below.
Let’s get back to focusing on the return of Red Rescue Team though, because fans are thrilled, especially given how many feel about Rescue Team DX.
“Personally I didn’t like the remake compared to the original, I’d rather play this,” one happy fan wrote on Reddit.

“So excited that this is coming to Switch! I loved the Mystery Dungeon series. Hopefully we’ll eventually get the Colosseum games as well,” added another.
To clarify, you will need a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription to access this game, as it seems many fans are wondering whether it’ll become available on the eShop.
That won’t be the case but as I said, NSO grants you access to loads of classic titles so it’s well worth investing in if you fancy a trip down memory lane.
