As part of the Nintendo Classics series, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness (or Tempesta Oscura in our region), originally released on GameCube way back in 2005, will arrive on Switch 2 in March. Developed by Genius Sonority, the title is the direct sequel to Pokémon Colosseum, also for the Cube and strangely not yet available on the subscription service.

It is, however, a welcome return, expanding on the first installment's formula with a new story, new Pokémon to catch, and more refined mechanics related to Shadow Pokémon, as well as teasing fans of the era with the sinister Shadow Lugia gracing the cover. Here's the announcement trailer.
