‘Pokemon’ Red, Blue, And Yellow Are Headed To The 3DS eShop!

Briefly: Took them long enough!

We’re reeling over Nintendo’s just-concluded Direct presentation, and while we’re all gasping for air over the announcement that Cloud Strife is joining the Super Smash Bros. roster (and hopefully getting an Amiibo), I’m just as excited about this announcement.

The big N has revealed that the original journey’s, Pokemon Red, Pokemon Blue, and Pokemon Yellow are headed to the 3DS eShop, and with one huge, much appreciated change: you’ll be able to trade characters using the 3DS’ wireless capabilities, instead of relying on a pesky link cable.

I haven’t touched these classics since I was just eight years old, so you better believe I’m looking forward to picking them up again.

All three games hit the eShop on February 27th, and I’ll be headed down nostalgia lane that very day. Take a look at the trailer for the re-release below, and be sure to let us know if you’re excited!
