Take, for example, the Nintendo Life Ash reader. He sent an email to show that a new search category has been added to the Nintendo UK site that mentions the portable Pokémon Mini device. In the “Initially for” section, Pokémon Mini now has its own list, along with Game Boy, GameCube and Super Nintendo.
What is interesting is that there is also a category “Other systems”, which is where you would do this. wait Nintendo to place Pokémon Mini – unless, of course, there are plans to revive the device in some way.
Look, we realize we’re making a pretty big assumption here, but think about it – Pokémon Mini is ripe for rediscovery, especially when you consider that many younger fans wouldn’t have been around to experiment for the first time.
Given that it is included in the “Original for” category, we would assume that some kind of digital relaunch would be most likely. Nintendo may want to launch a Pokémon Mini app for Switch or smartphones, which can be downloaded for free, but allows you to purchase individual Pokémon Mini games for a small fee, Capcom Arcade Stadium?
In case you don’t know what Pokémon Mini is, it is a small Tamagotchi device that was launched in 2001 and allows you to insert small cartridges containing mini-games. Costing around 40 USD (30 GBP in the UK) and with around 20 USD / 15 GBP software on pop, it had the potential to be a massive hit, but it may not have sold as well as Nintendo had hoped. it quickly disappeared from view – something that could be attributed to the fact that it was released in the same year as the Game Boy Advance.
Only ten games have ever been produced for the Pokémon Mini, each with a Pokémon theme, so it would make an ideal digital collection for the Switch.
