The original Pokemon games are coming to the Nintendo 3DS

If modern Pokemon games are too complicated for you, there’s good news: Nintendo is bringing the original Game Boy games to the 3DS as digital downloads. Starting February 27th, you’ll be able to purchase Pokemon Red, Blue , and Yellow on your handheld through the 3DS’ Virtual Console. The games will be largely the same as you remember them from 1996, but with one important update — you’ll be able to use the handheld’s wireless feature to trade pokemon with friends. No more fussing with a Game Boy link cable.
