These should really be 5 USD. It would only be worth 10 bucks if it were in 3D or they merged R/B/G into one game, which should be a cake walk. I'd only play through one game but 10 bucks is way too much for a retro game at this point, considering its not even physical.

Honestly, the fact that they said there will be more news/info on them between their reveal and February could mean they've added post-game content of some kind or done some major additions that don't effect the experience/change it, but rather extend it. Even if left practically untouched - there's a good chance we'll see some nice bonus content. This is Pokemon after all.

No, that doesn't require a lot of resources. You don't need a big team to edit code and test the programming for trading wirelessly. So, the $10 charge more than likely isn't there to be a supplement to pay for the coder's time.

One reason could be, assuming that $10 is really that exorbitant, is that maybe it's only R/B/Y in name alone. The code may have been freshly written by GF's programmers, made to follow modern day code standards. While it may be programmed to look and function just like R/B/Y, it might not be the same game under the hood.
Unless VirtualConsole is a GB engine that allows you to play a true port of an old game, in which case nevermind.

It's still cheaper than the original cartridges were back in the day.

Thats what I'm hoping for. Look at Super Mario Maker. Newer enemies were given retro sprites, with new content added so I'm hoping there is something new in retro form. Perhaps they redid the battle system to allow for the physical special split. Also in the Pokemon red/blue anime, Red was given a mega stone so maybe we can get those as well? I would love to see mega Pidgeot in retro form.

I'm definitely getting Yellow first because it was my very first Pokemon game (which I never got past the first gym in) and I aspire to finally beat it!

It was my second game, and i never got past the first gym either. A few months ago, my brother played it and used double kick nidoran to get past Brock. The nostalgia factor alone will convince me to buy the it, and that is probably why it is ten dollars instead of five.
 
My first game was red and that's definitely what I'll be getting first. I still have my yellow and blue cartridges. I might just plunge and grab all 3. I loved playing those games so much, I still do.

I really don't think $10 is all that bad. Though, I'm used to getting games on PS3/PS4 for download.

This is awesome. Now I can play the games without having to pay $50 dollars for each game (unless you want to collect all of the Pokemon games)
 
This is a new piece of information that came across via Serebii regarding the upcoming Virtual Console release titles of Red, Blue and Yellow.

"The manual for the upcoming Virtual Console releases of Pokémon Green, Red, Blue and Yellow has gone online and has provided a very interesting bit of information. For the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U Virtual Console games, there's an option for you to use Restore Points in the VC menu on the touch screen so you can save a position in a game and return to it afterwards in case you make a mistake. However, it is now confirmed that Pokémon Red, Green, Blue and Yellow are unable to utilize the Restore Point feature of the Virtual Console, as well as being unable to use the 3DS's built in save backup feature. It's not stated why these features have been removed for these titles, but it is presumable to be in an effort to prevent the cloning of Pokémon. These are the first GameBoy Virtual Console titles to not utilize the Restore Point feature."
 
I don't think the restore points are necessary in a RPG, or any game that has saves. I am actually very happy that these are coming out just to kind of show people how this wonderful series started.

Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow are not fantastic games, but they are very important to gaming culture. There was nothing really like Pokemon before these games(a trainable monster RPG). The game is far from perfect, but it is still a fun game. If you can ignore the glitches, and the imbalance of the original game then you can really appreciate it. It is a great idea to re-release these games because it gives fans a way to see how far we come. We went from 150, and a secret Pokemon called mew to 718 different Pokemon. This is a brilliant way for game freak to celebrate such an amazing milestone for the series, and with more to come this is going to be the beginning of a great year for Pokemon!
 
I am going to get Red probably. I have never played the original games, and I hear it has a lot of the characters from the first season of the anime, and I've been watching that lately, so it should be cool to play.

If you're specifically looking for a game that matches with the early anime, I'd definitely suggest Yellow instead. You start off with a Pikachu, you fight Jessie and James instead of random Rocket grunts, Misty's design was updated to match her anime appearance, and there are other quirks that make it more like the anime as well. :D
 
I'm getting Yellow because that was the only game (outside of FireRed and White 2) that I never physically owned. I'm also getting Blue over Red, because I like more of Blue's exclusives over Red's.

Thanks for the recommendation, I think I will be going with Yellow.
 
Has the north american price been confirmed? People are saying it's $10 but I have not seen something confirming this.
