At its Nintendo Direct today, the publisher confirmed Pokémon classics Red, Yellow and Blue are heading to the 3DS.

The games will be as true to their original counterparts as possible, the publisher also confirmed. One exception will be that Nintendo will mimic link cable functionality through wifi instead.

Expect 3DS versions of Pokémon Red, Yellow and Blue from 27 February 2016.

Steve is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
