Keep in mind that since it’s a Game Boy Advance game, users will need to have an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription in order to play. As a reminder, or in case you’ve never played Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, in this adventure players aren’t running around capturing Pokémon: they are a Pokémon. Befriend fellow Pocket Monsters and explore dungeons together when the game becomes available next week.
