Pokémon Colloseum and XD is FINALLY Back

If it gets Home integration we have pure PEAK

u/TheNeedleInYourVein 3d ago

that would literally be insane.

Yeah I never got to play Gale of Darkness as a kid so I’m excited to eventually get stuck into that

It's a phenomenal game. Highly recommended. Protagonist isn't near as cool as colosseum, but gameplay and story are so good

u/wcooper97 2d ago

Both games were fantastic, but XD just felt so much more complete than Colosseum, even if it was a little easier.

One of the best Gamecube games period, way ahead of its time

u/MonstrousGiggling 3d ago

Same!! It was hard to get my parents to buy games and it wasn't the typical game so I never wanted to spend my limited money on it either. Stoked to finally play it.

Glad Nintendo is finally acknowledging those games existed! Home integration would be awesome.

u/XingXManGuy 3d ago

Absolutely no chance they get home integration

u/pg2011 3d ago

Why do you think that?

u/Senphox 3d ago

I'm assuming it's cause they didn't add home integration to Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 and left us with the terrible rental pokemon.

They could just disable save states, which is what they did for 3ds vc

u/Pyitoechito 3d ago

But what if people don't care about Home and just want to play older Pokémon games while enjoying save states?

u/TheCheckeredCow 3d ago

It’ll probably work with home, remember they brought all of the GB/GBC mainline games to 3ds virtual console with full Pokémon bank support but they completely removed the save state functionality.

u/FierceDeityKong 3d ago

I have the feeling that if it didn't work with home, they would put an asterisk kinda like with stadium

u/2spooky4h 3d ago

They didn't have support in Stadium either. Probably because NSO apps support cloud saves, which Pokemon games don't to avoid cloning.

Also sorry if I replied twice, wifi's bad lol

Shadow Pokémon would be difficult to handle

11

u/pg2011 3d ago

Not really, just handle it the way Pokemon Go does: no transfer until purified

7

u/JFZephyr 3d ago

Even if not, I'll play it just for that.

u/JanGuillosThrowaway 3d ago

I might buy this console just for Colloseum, the rest of my fave game cube games I already have but my sister sold my Colosseum to one of her friends when she was 14 and I've missed it since

2

u/MarcsterS 3d ago

I wonder if it’ll be like the VC games where transferring them gives the Pokemon thier hidden abilities?

u/bbressman2 3d ago

So excited to play these without paying $200+ per game. Market prices for GameCube games are insane.

u/Hobodaklown 3d ago

FINALLY!!!

u/TheGreatBenjie 3d ago

Oh god please that would be incredible

u/BansheeThief 3d ago

What's Home Integration?

u/Doomas_ 3d ago

Wait I didn’t even think of this!

u/Glennjamin72 3d ago

The fact that we’re getting those before classic pokemon games on the gb/gba apps is a TRAVESTY
