Nintendo has just announced
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, the next titles in the
Pokemon franchise, and a throwback to the original 2003
Ruby and
Sapphire releases.
The pair of games are due for release on Nintendo 3DS and 2DS in November 2014, and apparently provide "a fresh take on
Pokemon Ruby and
Pokemon Sapphire."
Nintendo says that the games feature "a spectacular new world." Notably, the official website for the game also suggests that the game features Pokemon characters from the recent
X & Y titles, and does not stick to
Ruby and
Sapphire creatures only.
Nintendo has chosen to announce this new
Pokemon game on the same day that
it recorded losses for the last fiscal year.
