Including a game literally too big for Virtual Console.

Two Switch Online libraries will be adding new Pokemon games shortly.

During the Pokemon Presents, both the Pokemon Trading Card Game (GBC, 1999) and Pokemon Stadium 2 (N64, 2001) were confirmed for release "shortly after the presentation". The GBC game was announced in February with the reveal of the library, while the N64 game was announced last September.

Stadium 2's addition leaves only 1080 Snowboarding, Excitebike 64, and Mario Party 3 left from last September's announcement.

Kind of disappointing. I'd noticed we were coming up to 4 months since an N64 game had been added to the service and that last game was Pokemon Stadium. To have the next release be Pokemon Stadium 2 is rather meh to me. Give me DK64, you cowards! Oh well, got plenty of other stuff to play so not like it's really anything to care that much about.

Still, I had wondered how soon it would be for N64 additions to slow down after the pace of about 1 per month last year and it didn't take long for that to happen with only Goldeneye, Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Stadium 2 being the only additions for this year so far. It may now be a pace of a game every three months now.
