Finally we're getting some old Pokemon games added to the eshop! This makes me super happy that we're getting Fire Red and Leaf Green, I was hoping we'd get older Pokemon GB games to the Switch at some point, I guess Nintendo just wanted us to wait for Pokemon's 30th anniversary. I'll be buying Leaf Green for sure! I had a "friend" borrow the game almost 20 years ago and he never gave it back. :evil: https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/po ... languages/

Yep but hey it's good for everyone else who wanted to play the games again in a legit way without having to pay an arm and a leg. xD

Sounds like the game is leaking early on the eshop, people are starting to play it.

Well dang I guess I better buy it then so I can play it early. xD Though they might have fixed that...

I think they did, I think Nintendo leaks stuff on purpose for a bit to drum up talk lol.

Dang oh well we just need to wait less than 24 hours then it'll be available lol. Though I believe you can play it now if you're in Japan or have a Japanese Nintendo account.

I'm in no rush to play them, hopefully the games get huge sales so Nintendo does more of this.

Yeah I hope we'll see older games come to the Nintendo Switch Online service. Here in a minute I'm going to play Leaf Green lol.
