Pokémon Gold and Silver 3DS virtual console games to get boxed release in EU

Awesome the best pokemon generation ever

Even though i'm kinda excited about this if it's not going to cost much, it also gives me the scary thought that they could put this practice into use in other future releases and potentially strip down physical carts completely, leaving only boxes and papers for "collectors".

Pokemon is amazingly big...but their special edition always sucks. The last time i see something "good" was, the inorny is srtong in this one, with Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Unless they GameStop or whatever pur inside something extra...only digital for me and i will be happy.

I would buy it only if it cost the same amount as on the e-shop

They make these for people that can't use a credit card to purchase them for whatever reason, my local gamestop sells little cards that have download codes for 3ds games right next to the physical copies of the games, i assume for kids that save up money to get a game and also want digital?

So they release an empty box with a download code. Okay, whatever. Tell me though, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO HAVE A BIG BOX ON THE FRONT THAT SAYS NO GAME CARD ON IT. That kind of ruins the whole aesthetic doesn't it? I hope they make it just a sticker on the cellophane.

Maybe the PokeWalker is inside?

"Including GBC cartridge" Except they don't make GBC cartridges anymore lol

That didn't stop capcom for example with rereleasing ducktales for the nes.

What a waste of paper/plastics...

The games are nice, but selling empty boxes with more paper inside just to get a download code, is as I said... a waste of paper/plastics...

Also happened with marvel vs capcom 2 for ps3, just a case with only a digital code inside. such a waste.

You can also get a nintendo eshop card so you don't need a credit card to buy things.

I was slightly excited until I saw that it's just a piece of paper in a box.

HaloEliteLegend · Aug 18, 2017

Oh... There's nothing in it............ Honestly, why?

They look good... But how much extra will we be paying for the luxury of an empty box..?

Nintendo Pocket Football Club is about 15 € in Gamestop here, fwiw

Then you add the usual Pokemon markups... And we have around 35€ ^o^

DarthDub · Aug 18, 2017

I wonder if the stickers can be used in Paper Mario: Sticker Star.

Captain_N · Aug 18, 2017

lol a box with a dlc code in it. useless... I can make a box if i wanted. place an actual 3ds cart in there and ill be impressed. The box with a dlc code in it is about as useful as getting a star in Mario kart 64 on the last lap from the last set of item boxes when the other racers have already placed and your 8th......

It would be better if it was a multi-cart 3ds case holder....

I liked gen 2 Pokemon but played the fuck out of it a few years ago. I'll pass.

pedro702 · Aug 18, 2017

i hate this type of releases and they are becoming more comon each year, it reminds me of first series of ducktales remastered where you got cases with only codes, and wiiu/3ds march of the minis or whatever its called also empty boxes and manny more games.

srs why the hell do people want empty boxes you can just grab a random ps3 boxes print a sleeve and you got an empty box just the same lol. this are kinda diferent becuase they are cardboard but still they are praticaly useless.

The not-so-physical physical copy. I'm glad I bought the real thing back in 2000.

The Real Jdbye · Aug 18, 2017

Cool box and all, but it seems kind of pointless.
It would be better if it actually had a physical version of the VC game inside it, in a regular 3DS game box.

H1B1Esquire · Aug 19, 2017

I would consider buying this if it had something substantial to offer. Stickers would have been a selling point in the 90's.

Yeah! I've still got the five originals on their not so healthy boxes.

I wouldn't even so. Most of the time, the first thing that gets lost/wasted are the boxes.
