Pokemon Blue, Red and Yellow to be 3DS digital downloads

Nintendo has announced that Pokemon Blue, Pokemon Red, and Pokemon Yellow are headed to the 3DS eShop as digital downloads.

All three games will be presented exactly as they originally were with one notable exception: trading via the Game Boy Link Cable has been replaced by wireless trading.

All three games will hit the eShop on February 27, 2016 -- 20 years to the day from Red and Blue�s original Japanese release in 1996.

Over the years I've learned how to repair both consoles and cartridges in order to preserve the classic gameplay of the older Nintendo games. I'm wicked excited about this news! Anyone else?

Wow, I never thought they would actually do this! Fans have been asking for this for years!

[Brickhaus]

Well, I know what I'm buying three and a half months from now.

I am soooo excited for this!!

[Todoroki]

Hell ya i'm excited !! :o_o:

They're already free if you just download an emulator and the game.

It's really easy to do :)

That's sweet! I kind of wish they would reinterpret the newer Pokemon in the style of the earlier games because I'm all about nostalgia.
I haven't played Pokemon since diamond version, is it worth getting a 3ds to play the newer ones (as well as other games on the platform)?

Yeah, imo the 3DS is great(Or the cheaper 2DS if you don't care about the 3D option). It's gotten some great titles now in terms of large names like Super Smash Bros 3DS, and the new Hyrule Warriors 3DS, as well as indie games like Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.

I'm hoping the wifi integration allows for battling as well as trading tbh, that would be a little disappointing not to have.

Nice, looking forward to it. First thing I ever fixed was my crystal edition cartridge lol.

Emulators are great but I always find myself hitting the 16x speed and ruin the experience!

Praise the helix

I'm excited about this! But I also remember how slow the walking speed is on those games >____> lol


I hope they're gonna do more for the 20th anniversary though! It's a big one, and everyone has been speculating on the next main series game a lot in the last few months.

IDK how I feel about going back to the old games lol I already got used to the physical/special split :|

you guys know that gen 1 aged badly

I am thrilled to see this happening, I will definitely be purchasing all three to relive that.

Aged bad?

I've donated emulators over the years to relive them glory days so can't wait I'm super excited.

Hoping they remake yellow for the 3DS like Ruby and silver (soul silver) would be awesome to relive ash in better graphics and a nice updated map :D

Still remember walking through that first dark cave and not having/knowing about Flash then all I did was adjust my contrast on my black and white gameboy :D

I CANT WAIT FOR THIS *-*

I feel this is relevant again as Blue/Red/Yellow is now available on the virtual console. I bought Red for myself and just defeated Brock. :D
