There's a Switch 2 bundle with Pokémon Legends: Z-A dropping on October 16
Now that AAA video games cost a full $70, console bundles are the way to go to save a few coins. Nintendo is dropping another Switch 2 bundle just in time for the holiday season, and it's a real treat for Pokemon fanatics. The Nintendo Switch 2 + Pokemon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Bundle drops on October 16 and costs $500.As the name suggests, this bundle includes a shiny new Switch 2 console and a digital copy of the enhanced version of Pokemon Legends: Z-A. The game itself will also be available on that same date.Notice I said "enhanced version." That's because Pokemon Legends: Z-A is technically a Switch 1 game, like its predecessor Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The Switch 2 Edition will feature some nice upgrades for the new console, with the company promising "improved performance, enhanced resolution and smoother frame rates." This is all welcome news, as Arceus struggled to run properly on the now-ancient Switch 1, and who knows how the new one will perform.For the uninitiated, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is an action role-playing game that differs a bit from the traditional Pokemon formula. The gameplay is a mix of real-time capture mechanics and old-school turn-based battles. It also looks to be set entirely in Lumiose City, making it something of a sequel to Pokemon X and Y.This news comes from a brand-new Pokemon Presents livestream in which Game Freak unveiled footage from a new TV show by the makers of Wallace and Gromit and released a trailer for a new season of the Netflix hit Pokemon Concierge.There was also a whole bunch of footage of Pikachu DJing for some reason. Is that electric rodent out here trying to steal thunder from K.K.
