Nintendo has unexpectedly listed Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen for Nintendo Switch, with digital store pages appearing ahead of any formal announcement. Both remakes are set to arrive on 27 February and will be sold separately rather than arriving as part of the Switch Online catalog.

  • Early eShop listings: multiple regional storefront pages went live before Nintendo’s official reveal, signalling an early leak of the remakes.
  • Launch timing and cost: both titles are due 27 February (Pokémon Day) and are priced at £16.99 / $19.99 each.
  • Sold individually: the games will be available to buy outright from the eShop instead of being distributed through Nintendo Switch Online’s classic library.
  • Physical version unclear: there’s currently no confirmation that boxed releases will accompany the digital launch, so collectors may need to wait for further details.
  • Next steps: with the listings live and the reveal now official, expect retailer pages, screenshots and store trailers to appear in the run-up to the release.
