​

In the last Nintendo Direct, we were given the announcement that the GameBoy Color classics, Pokémon Gold and Silver would both be getting the virtual console treatment on the Nintendo 3DS. The games would also support Pokémon Bank, allowing for players to transport any creatures caught into the modern games. However, Nintendo of Europe had a curious Tweet today, showing off physical versions for these games. Stylized to look just like their original boxed release, both Gold and Silver will be sold on store shelves. As to the contents of the box itself, the only thing inside is a 3DS e-Shop download code and some stickers. This has only been announced for Europe at the time of writing, and doesn't appear to be scheduled for America.

Update: They're 9 pounds per game, one copy each limited per consumer.

Nobody would buy Gold/Silver if they released Crystal (it'll most definitely come later because $$$)

Aside from the empty box have guys notice that there is no Celebi event? Like the one we get for Mew for the VC relase.

What about Heart Gold and Soul Silver?

 

[ZachariasBarnham]

Uhhh....

*scratches head*

Oh-kay, then...

*reads opening post and all other posts*

I would actually laugh if I saw that at my local Walmart or Gamestop. My first Gen 2 game was Silver, so when the remakes came out, I played SoulSilver first.

*goes back to lurking in the shadows...*

 

[DJPlace]

wow this is dumb at least have a heart gold soul sliver game cart come with it for a 20 bucks more you bastards.

 

[Beerus]

May be asking for a remake of the remake. Gaming companies are getting their business by doing that. -_-

 

[Windaga]

Huh. That's cool I guess. Would be cooler if they included a map And a mini guide or something.

i guess that is a thing, no idea it actualy had a remake on the snes but i bet those games are very far and between getting remakes of remakes unless they were remade on snes era lol.

 

[Eightcoins]

I dunno,I cant really complain,since it does look pretty good.
But I kinda already like collecting useless shit way too much.

 

[SuzieJoeBob]

They could have at least included the original Game Boy cartridges in the box, making it actually valuable.

I would be fine with just a reprint of the cartridge shell for an extra $10. You wouldn't be able to play it because the cartridge is empty, making it perfect for display purposes.
