Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are to be "full remakes", Nintendo has confirmed.
Following the recent announcement of the games' worldwide release this November, there was some speculation as to what the new games would actually involve.
The teaser trailer for the titles promised that players would be able to "explore a dramatic new world", leading many to debate whether the games would be sequels or spin-offs to Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Sapphire, rather than remakes of the original games.
However, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata reiterated that the games will indeed be "full remakes" in a recent financial results briefing with Nintendo, according to Siliconera.
The original Ruby and Sapphire sold over 16.22 million copies worldwide on Game Boy Advance.
