Pokémon Winds & Waves Give Me Hope for Another Open-World Nintendo Series

It’s hard to say for sure if Pokémon Winds and Waves, the first game exclusive to the new Switch 2, will be a truly groundbreaking title. But I was really impressed by the trailer! I even caught myself excitedly pumping my fist in the air – it felt like a scene from an 80s teen movie. What really got me thinking, though, was the game’s improved and detailed art style. If the Switch 2 can do this for Pokémon, I think it will make the Xenoblade Chronicles series look absolutely incredible.
