Pokemon Let’s Go seems to be on everyone’s mind right now, especially for those still play Niantic’s popular augmented reality game. After all, Pokemon Go and Let’s Go are said to be tied to one another. Gamers can expect Pokemon Let’s Go to be released on or by November 16, 2018 on the Switch.
Besides Pokemon Let’s Go, Switch gamers can also look forward to Pokemon Quest and a third RPG Pokemon game. According to Eurogamer, Pokemon Quest is already available on the Switch. Meanwhile, the Pokemon RPG does not have a title yet and is expected to be released late in 2019.
As the Nintendo Switch continues to rise in popularity, more game developers will probably be interested in creating something for the hybrid console. However, there are still some game creators who don’t see a future with Nintendo’s hybrid console, despite its growing popularity. There are some game developers who seem interested in investing some time on the Nintendo Switch but must solve some compatibility issues first. For instance, Team Ninja seems to be interested in releasing Dead or Alive 6 on the Switch but must solve certain technical problems before the game is released on Nintendo’s portable console.
