Nintendo of America has also released a new Switch trailer featuring Christina Aguilera and her family playing Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Among Us and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which you can view below.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus was announced last February, alongside DS remakes Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl, during a presentation scheduled to coincide with the franchise’s 25th anniversary.

Blending action and exploration with Pokémon’s RPG roots, it features one of the most unique settings in the history of the series – the Hisui region, before it would eventually become the Sinnoh region.
