Today, Nintendo offered up lots of new information aboutPokemon Let’s Go PikachuandPokemon Let’s Go Eevee. The company released an impressivenew trailer detailing Celadon Cityas well as some exclusive Pokemon moves. That’s not all, though, as Nintendo also unveiled new Switch hardware bundles that will launch alongside the new games.
The Nintendo Switch hardware bundles will go on sale on November 16th (thePokemon Let’s Gorelease date). The console design in both bundles is identical: the Switch dock features two adorable images of Pikachu and Eevee laying down while the back of the Switch tablet itself is adorned with silhouettes of Pikachu and Eevee playing together.
There’s also a pair of Joy-Con controllers, which are designed to match Pikachu and Eevee’s color schemes. The left Joy-Con is a tan and beige color while the right Joy-Con is yellow with a darker shade of brown. Both bundles also include thePoke Ball Plus controllerwhich allows players to take their Pokemon for “walks” and “carry” them outside of the game in order to receive rewards when they return. The peripheral has been in high demand ever since being announced, so the bundle is likely to be a hot property just for that alone.
The only differences in the two bundles, it seems, is the choice of game it comes with. One bundle comes with eitherPokemon Let’s Go PikachuorEeveepre-installed. Pikachu is world-famous and is likely to be the most popular option but both characters are equally adorable so it could be a tough choice.
ThePokemon Let’s Gogames are already some of themost hotly anticipated gamesof the holiday season and are expected to be Switch system sellers. These newly announced bundles should only boost that.
The games should also help Nintendo hit its Switch sales target ofsell 20 million unitsthis year. This will be off the back of exclusives likePokemon Let’s Goas well asSuper Smash Bros. UltimateandSuper Mario Partywhich both launch this holiday season.
Pokemon Let’s Go, PikachuandPokemon Let’s Go, Eeveeare set to release on July 05, 2025, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
