The decision to remake Ruby and Sapphire isn't surprising seeing as their predecessors Pokemon Red and Blue, as well as Pokemon Gold and Silver, have already received the revamp treatment.
Set in the region of Hoenn, they will introduce a new location for the 3DS system as well as - I'm obviously speculating here - featuring the new mechanics that have made the series so popular in recent years.
Nintendo's decision to cling to a known winner is a good one, especially as they have posted their third consecutive annual operating loss. However, on a stronger note the last 3DS offerings, Pokemon X and Y, sold 12.26 million copies worldwide which makes them the biggest selling titles on the device.
No doubt we will hear more of these remakes during Nintendo's E3 broadcast next month.
Perhaps more significant is the wording "EXPLORE A DRAMATIC NEW WORLD!" within the trailer. We may be reading too far into it but does this mean we'll get extra content with the titles? Only time will tell.
