I think it's $5 each but I'm not still sure

There's been absolutely no official confirmation, but games like this tend to go for $10-ish on the eShop. And they may put the price up because it's Pokémon!

In today's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo have dropped a surprise reveal: All the first generation Pokémon games – Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow – have been confirmed for a release in the 3DS Virtual Console.

​

The games are nearly identical to their original releases - however, the games have been upgraded to use local Wi-Fi instead of a Link Cable, to allow trades and battles on the 3DS.

The games will be released on February 27th, 2016 worldwide - exactly 20 years to the day after the games were released in Japan.

Japan are also getting Pokémon Green, which was never released internationally. They're also getting boxed copies of all four games.

I would love to get Pokemon yellow for my 3DS. My Game boy version's little battery died. So I can't play it.

I believe the games will be a new experience for new players and nostalgia for older players
