When both games launch on November 16th, players will get the chance to experience many firsts for the series: couch co-op, mobile integration, and big-screen play, all in the style of Pokémon's traditional RPGs. It's a step forward for Pokémon that begins with a look back. The Let's Go games draw heavily from the handheld Pokémon titles, but they're also as close to a reboot as the game series has ever come. These new games focus primarily on the Kanto region, home to the original 151 pokémon; the player's titular partner, whether Pikachu or Eevee, prefers to hang outside of...

The game is focused on the original lineup featured in Pokémon Red and Blue (meaning catchable critters from the Kanto region). In addition to cooking and customizing a base camp, players will also be able to tailor their squad's stats using power stones and...

Following the console's inaugural year, which included the huge hits Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, fans have had to settle for only a handful of new games. Those have included a few fresh releases, like Mario + Rabbids and Kirby Star Allies, and some welcome enhanced Wii U games and indie ports like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Stardew Valley. But it's clear Nintendo fans are waiting for the next big thing, and that next big thing happens to be a Switch version of brawler Super Smash Bros. that's slated for release later this year.
