Nintendo launches first Pokemon game for the Switch

A Nintendo Switch game console is displayed at an electronics store in Tokyo, Japan March 3, 2017. The Switch already enjoys a healthy collection of Nintendo first-party games, but last night the first Pokemon game was announced for the system. What's more, it's already available to download and play! The game is called Pokemon Quest, but it's very different from the core Pokemon games we are used to seeing on Nintendo's handhelds. This is Pokemon-lite, and it's a free-to-start game that's also heading to Android and iOS platforms.
