Image: Nintendo LifeIt’s official, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen will arrive on the Switch eShop right after the Pokémon Presents wraps up next week on 27th February. It’s a cause for celebration, of course, but there’s a part of us that can’t help but feel a pang of envy after realising that Japan is getting treated to a ‘Special Edition‘ physical release, too.
We use “physical” hesitantly there, because it seems that this boxed release is still reliant on its included download code if you actually want to, you know, play the game. That said, it’s a beauty.
The Special Edition
