Pokemon Stadium (N64)

Could this be the "definitive" Nintendo game...

Game of the Day

Name: Pokemon Stadium

Released: 1999

Developer: Nintendo

Platform: Nintendo 64

One of the more obscure and original titles in the Pokemon franchise, Pokemon Stadium brought the 2D world of Pokemon into the third-dimension. Unlike most of the other Pokemon games, this game had no storyline but simply involved Pokemon of your choice battling each other in a stadium or against gym leaders depending on the game mode. While it seems simple, what makes this game so memorable and a contender for the title is its amazing 3D graphics blended with the conventional RPG gameplay that would be familiar to Pokemon fans. Definitely a game for the nostalgic.
