Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen coming to Nintendo Switch

Two beloved Pokémon games will be made available on a Nintendo console for the first time in over 20 years.

Revealed today, Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen will arrive on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on Pokémon Day (February 27). These two games will be available to purchase for $19.99 each. Pre-orders can be made here.

A synopsis for Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen on the Nintendo Switch reads:

Each of these digital-only releases are available individually in English, French or Spanish¹ on My Nintendo Store and Nintendo eShop. New and returning players can celebrate 30 years of Pokémon by exploring the Kanto region and reuniting with some of their favorite Pokémon and characters in their original settings. Longtime fans will enjoy taking a trip back to where it all began, while newcomers can experience firsthand some of the earliest appearances of iconic characters and settings.

In these Nintendo Switch versions of the 2004 remakes of the first Pokémon games Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green (originally released in Japan in 1996), players can encounter the games’ original 151 Pokémon. Enjoy the classic soundtrack and turn-based gameplay, and meet-up familiar faces like Brock, Misty, Professor Oak and Giovanni! These classic Game Boy Advance RPGs feature all of the updates introduced during the Game Boy Advance era, including abilities, natures, weather conditions, held items and the ability to select your player character’s gender. Nintendo Switch players can also now link up with friends via local co-op² without the need to use a Game Link Cable like you did in 2004!
