Well? I myself remember playing the first three games and enjoyed it quite well. Was this a good move by Nintendo?

Of course it was a good movie. A lot of people will buy it just because of nostalgia, so it will be a good chunk of money.

And it's not re-release. It's Virtual Console.

Unless you wanna use the wifi features really badly, I see no point in buying them. You can easily find roms for each game.

Yea, it's a fantastic move. About time they ported them to the 3DS.

If I find someone to play with, I'll buy one of them, but at this point I have no plans. I own the original red, blue, and yellow version.

I'm looking forward to these, even though my original games still work I think.
Not sure if they'll be something I'll buy off the bat, but if the nostalgia ever bites, I'm in.

I'm excited for this release. I grew up with the Pokemon, but never played the games. I watched the show and a couple of my friends were into the trading card game. I just got into the games with the last 2 releases, so I'd like to play through the originals.

I've seen people complaining about the price, but I don't think it's much at all. It's 3 games for half the price of current new games.

Also, seems like Amazon is going to start selling digital downloads now. Kinda cool. I had only noticed Gamestop doing that in the past.

The originals are broke as hell gameplay wise, not excited to go back to these. But good for the people who never got to play it.

Yellow was my first Pokemon game but I more fondly remember FR&LG, much better in my opinion.

What made you think they would they do this? They already did a remaster for GBA. They're basically admitting they don't want to do another one if they're going to the trouble of fixing the Virtual Console copy to run multiplayer on a new console.

I think most people already intrested in playing it again already played them to absolute death and back again from emulators on PC and modern phones. And even playing the originals isn't farfetched if you still have your Game Boy working used copies of them without the box are pretty reasonable if something happen to your old one.

Myself I bought and played Fire Red when it first came out, bought in played Heart Gold when it came out , and that was pretty much it for me for the classic pokemon I think the pokemon games have gotten to a point for me where there really isn't anything more I can get out of them at this point, I didn't realize this until half way through playing X when it came out.

They certiaintly aren't bad by any means but I've just done it all before. I remember thinking about a year ago that after having played a number of increasingly sophisticated and amazing RPG after pokemon, it made it more difficult for me to get that same child like enjoyment out of it. As a child a huge portion of my enjoyment o the game was about me playing it almost totally blind and discovering things new things/how to overcome challenges with almost no familiarity and experience to guide me, almost like a journey of my own lol

Yeah, I've got all three, and I don't even like Pokemon that much lol.


Older people probably already played it, while younger people will probably be put off by its age (let's be honest, the game has not aged well). Plus, the price they are charging is way too expensive; should be $3 a piece, tops.

even $3 is overpriced imo, considering the games are about two decades old
and all they did was add wireless transfer (which i doubt took very long to implement)
maybe if it was an iOS/android app, but it's locked to 3ds only.

a courtesy free download option would have been nice and a chance for a good PR, but alas.

What can $3 buy? Most shit games on Steam are $3. A loaf of bread is $3. A bag of chips is $3. Why is $3 overpriced to play a legacy game that gives you a chance to relive your childhood. I would have to pay ten times that amount if I wanted to find a working gameboy (advance) and a cartridge with a working battery. $3 for a copy of the game to take on the go, with a backlit screen, with functioning trading features?

You all sound pretty spoiled to me.

I need to say more? $9.99 is expansive for a 20 years old game. It's even more expansive than SNES and GBA titles in VC.
yeah but your point contains a major flaw. RBY could go on sale at any point in the future, just like the two games you mentioned. Castle Crashers goes for $16 off sale, as does Battleblock Theatre. $10 is only 60% of that price, and it's a game that isn't just a broken copy of the game hastily ported to Virtual Channel. I'm sure they'll drop the price eventually, but refusing to pay $10 for this game that you treasured so much from your childhood? So very spoiled you gamers have become. 'Nintendo deserves better fans' indeed.

edit: more than that, you guys are absolute tools to the highest power. You blindly believed $10 was the price they were going for when any simple google search will tell you that's a rumor. There is no official price. It could just as easily be free for all you guys know. GBC games on the shop go for $4 a piece. I don't see them marking the game up 250% just to exploit people's nostalgia.

It was a good move as plenty of people will buy it.
Will I buy it? No, I have them for my Gameboy, which is the same reason I didn't buy omega ruby or sapphire.

Its the same game except slightly changed and I don't like all the different shit they keep adding into the new pokemon games mega evolutions and other shit + they ran out of stuff to model off 2 gens ago so most of the new pokemon are shit or plain stupid.

I imagine they will re make all the GameCube, GameBoy and DS games for the 3DS, since I have the originals for most of them I doubt I will get any of them tbh...

grimer -> muk, blob of slime -> bigger blob of slime. diglet -> dugtrio, diglet -> three diglets. In fact a large number of the evolutionary lines in all generations just get bigger with very little aesthetic changes beyond that. Voltorb -> Electrode...seriously?

Amazon started the pre-orders of gen I games. So, I believe the price is $9.99 (I don't think amazon made a mistake with the price). Yes, Nintendo is charging 250% more than usual just to exploit people's nostalgia. Not the first time, the same happened with Earthbound which cost slightly more than other SNES titles in VC.

Nintendo rarely drops the prices or make deals. Zelda Skyward Sword is the first example that comes to my mind. I'm pretty sure the game still cost $60.
lol how can they release a preorder for a VC game. Use ya head. It's a pre-order, of course the price is marked up. Also did you ever consider the fact that it could just be AMAZON exploiting nostalgia? Since when does Amazon = Nintendo?
