Pokémon Red, Blue & Yellow Virtual Console Releases Getting Discounted in Europe

Come on, man! I just bought Pokémon Blue 3 days ago..

Just my luck :/

Hmm... not bad. I was planning on getting them anyway, but I suppose I could get them sooner than I was intending.

@dennisforss You're not alone, it happened to me with Shovel Knight and Shantae.

Didn't expect them to go on sale so soon. I got Blue when they came out (nostalia), but kinda wanted Yellow for the colour. Not sure if there's much point in getting more than 1 on the same console, though...

Now if they were really smart, they'd advertise these discounts when you boot up Pokemon Go.

@ThomasBW84

The games are rather cheap overall though so it could've been worse

Bring on Gold/Silver/Crystal, Nintendo!

Ooo, I might look into this, it looks nice with it just being over a fiver.

I hope the states get this deal. I'd like to purchase it one of them, but have been holding off.

And to think I considered getting Yellow not even a full hour ago. Nice.

Time to pick one up! I will go for Yellow.

I've been meaning to pick up Yellow for a while, but I didn't quite have enough left in my account. I have a horrible feeling I'm still going to be a few pence short.

I was hesitant to pick up either of the Gen 1 games because of their price... but now I have to! Pokémon Yellow it is! ^~^ if they ever put Crystal on VC it would be an instant buy for me.

Is this to make up for Pokemon being a no GO here?

I think that €10 is overpriced, but this is pretty reasonable. May actually get them now

And still ridiculously expensive.

@Jammy01 More to cash in on how Go is trending massively. Don't be surprised if when we get Go, there's the odd pop up with "Hey, Pokemon RBY is 30% off on the eShop, BUY A 3DS ALREADY!" XD

Hopefully North America will get a discount soon!?!? I mean the Pokemon GO phenomenon is taking its course lol

@ekreig I know. It's just slightly irritating when you could've gotten it for less money if you would've waited a few days, you know

still way too overpriced. other gb games on the eshop are cost much less.

yes i know this has updated multiplayer bla bla bla

Lol: To celebrate Go?

Tempting, especially with all the Pokemon chatting going around lately, but 30% is not enough for surely "catch" my money Nintendo >.>

Dear Lord, I've read this as "discontinued" at first. XD No one but myself to blame, though.

I planned to grab Blue in autumn, but it looks like now might be a better opportunity after all.

I'm tempted.
But I'm an idiot who can't resist eshop sales even though I have a massive backlog of unplayed games.

It's tempting, but I've already played the originals before, so the VC ones probably aren't worth it for me.

@dennisforss
I can sympathise, I bought Yellow a week ago. :/

@Snargledon I feel you, bro :/
