Since the announcement that the original Pokémon games (Red, Blue and Yellow versions) were getting the 3DS treatment was made a lot of fans have been waiting for details on the eShop exclusive games.
After an Amazon listing leaked the price of the digital-only games, Nintendo and the Pokémon Company have remained relatively silent regarding the details. That is Nintendo has announced the Wii U release date for Pokken Tournament and with the press release came the price for the individual digital games.
Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow versions will be available on Feb. 27 for $9.99 each, the same as the Amazon listing leak.
But if you are a little iffy about buying the vintage games on the eShop separately, Nintendo did announce some awesome 3DS bundles. In North America, players can buy the New Nintendo 3DS (not the XL versions) for the first time in this region with both Pokémon Red and Blue Versions already installed.
Not only do the 3DS come with the games, but come with two faceplates that have the original box art for the Red and Blue versions along with a special Pokémon theme. This Pokémon 3DS bundle will be available on Feb. 27, the same day as the individual digital games for $199.99.
The Pokémon 3DS bundles are a great way to get your hands on this version of the handheld system and now that North America has access to it, perhaps the faceplates that are available around the world can come stateside or you can just import them from Europe.
So what do you think of the prices of the games and bundles? Will you be buying more than one version? Sound off in the comments section.
