Nintendo will soon be adding another beloved Pokemon game to Switch’s classic games catalog. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team is coming to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service on August 9.
Originally released for Game Boy Advance back in 2006, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team is a roguelike that casts players in the role of a human who has mysteriously turned into a Pokemon. After meeting a partner Pokemon and establishing a rescue team together, players explore dungeons and embark on various missions to help other Pokemon out and unravel the mystery of their transformation.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team was originally released alongside a Blue Rescue Team version for the Nintendo DS. The two games were remade for Nintendo Switch in 2020 as Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX.
Once it drops, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon will be available through Nintendo Switch Online’s Expansion Pack plan. This premium tier of the service includes all of the benefits of the base plan along with access to select Nintendo Switch DLC and a library of classic Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, and Sega Genesis games.
A base Nintendo Switch Online subscription costs $20 USD a year, while an Expansion Pack membership costs $50 USD a year. Nintendo also offers an annual family plan for $80 that covers up to eight Nintendo Accounts, even across multiple systems.
