Instead of a new Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, the Switch with Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Retterteam DX will release a remake of the first part, which was released in 2006 in two versions for the Game Boy Advance and the then very young Nintendo DS. In the dungeon crawler you slip into the skin of a Pokémon and explore randomly generated dungeons to help others out of trouble. Graphically, a lot has changed since the GBA. Retterteam DX presents itself in a cute picture book style. Maybe this time it distracts from the rather redundant gameplay.
In March Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is another switch branch; a demo is already available for download.
