Nintendo's surprise reveal of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/05/07/pokemon-ruby-and-sapphire-remakes-heading-to-3ds-in-november/)Pokemon Omega Ruby (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/05/07/pokemon-ruby-and-sapphire-remakes-heading-to-3ds-in-november/) was a bit vague to say the least. The company described the 3DS games as a "fresh take" on Game Boy Advance entries Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Sapphire, while a brief press release mentioned things like a "new adventure" and a "spectacular new world."
So, just what are these games? Step in Satoru Iwata to clear things up, or at least a little bit. In today's financial briefing (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/140508/index.html), the Nintendo president described the games as "full remakes," which at least removes some of the confusion if not a lot of it.
Otherwise, details are as sparse as they were yesterday. At least we do know Nintendo's releasing both games worldwide in November this year.
