Nintendo today announced a special Pokemon dual pack that will include copies of upcoming 3DS role-playing games Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. This bundle launches on November 21, the same date as all copies will be released, and will sell for $79.98.
If you want to buy the dual pack from a physical store, Best Buy is your only option. However, Nintendo will also sell the game through Amazon.
Since Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will sell for $39.99 on their own, why not just buy both games individually? Nintendo is sweetening the deal by including pair of download codes that can be redeemed for 100 potions each with the dual pack. “Starting a new Pokemon game with 100 extra potions is a treat for players who want to be well-stocked for their epic journey through the Hoenn region,” Nintendo said.
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are “reimagined” versions of Ruby and Sapphire, which launches for Game Boy Advance more than ten years ago in 2003. Nintendo stresses that Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are “not just simple remakes.”
