Nintendo Announces Pokémon Omega Ruby And Alpha Sapphire For 3DS

Nintendo is bringing remakes of the Game Boy Advance Pokémon titles Ruby and Sapphire to 3DS this year.

Much like Pokémon X & Y, Omega Ruby And Alpha Sapphire will release worldwide November of this year. Nintendo hasn't offered too many details about the game, other than this from a press release announcing the game.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are a fresh take on Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, which launched in 2003 and were fan-favorite hits on the Game Boy Advance system. The new titles promise to take players through a dramatic story within a spectacular new world.

You can check out the teaser trailer for the games below.

Our Take
This is pretty exciting news, and surprising as I figured the next Pokémon game announced would be something along the lines of Pokémon Z to follow up X & Y. This is especially good to hear after all the bad news Nintendo had to announce this morning.
