Alright, let’s dive into this Nintendo thing. So, picture it: Nintendo Switch 2 is dropping on June 5. Honestly, it’s like a carnival of games coming out at once. We’ve got Mario Kart World—definitely not just any old racing game—and somehow Cyberpunk 2077 is squeezing in there too. How that’s even gonna work out? Not sure. Anyway—ah, hold on, I was gonna talk about something else.
Right! Old games getting new love. Always kinda funny to me. Remember when they did the whole Zelda: Link’s Awakening facelift? Or was it Pokémon Yellow? Something like that. But hey, imagine if they bring back that wacky Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. I mean, who doesn’t want to be a human-turned-Pokémon? Sounds like my dream job, honestly.
Speaking of, that series kinda spun off from Spike Chunsoft’s stuff. You ever found yourself in those dungeons? Random layouts and all, kinda like life, right? Anyway, you battle other Pokémon, turn by turn. Oh, and the side gigs—rescuing or item delivering. And, BAM, you sometimes just bump into Legendaries like Rayquaza. Way cooler than just a face on a shiny box, if you ask me.
It’s wild to think Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team are hitting their 20s soon. Back on Game Boy Advance and DS—good times! Way different from the usual “Catch ’em all!” vibe. More like “Become ’em all,” right? All based on some personality quiz. Toss that quiz in a time capsule marked “DeviantArt-era.”
And then there’s this—what was it called? Rescue Team DX. They remade it for Switch, pretty artsy look and all. Could pick whatever Pokémon you wanted to be, no quiz strings attached. Mixed reviews from folks, but hey, sold over a million copies real quick—so, clearly doing something right.
Nintendo’s doing its own thing. I mean, reviving Kirby Air Ride after, what, 22 years? Kirby Air Riders coming to Switch 2… wonder whose idea that was late one night.
But back to Pokémon. Since the last Mystery Dungeon game, there’ve been three more gens and a Legends series? The roster’s grown like weeds in a garden—new faces, like that cute apple critter Fuecoco and the musical monkey Grookey. Whole new vibes to explore. Will they dust off Mystery Dungeon for the Switch 2? Maybe at this summer’s Pokémon Presents. Fingers crossed on that one!
