Nintendo has announced a special dual pack for upcoming Pokemon titles Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
GameSpot reports the package will launch in North America alongside the individual releases on November 21st. The titles arrive in Europe on November 28th, but there’s no official word if the dual pack will also be available in the territory at that time.
The bundle will be offered at Best Buy and through Amazon for $79.98 – the same price the two products combine to sell for on their own, so a discount isn’t the incentive here.
Instead, Nintendo is offering a pair of download codes that can be redeemed for 100 potions for both titles in the dual pack.
"Starting a new Pokemon game with 100 extra potions is a treat for players who want to be well-stocked for their epic journey through the Hoenn region," Nintendo stated.
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire – upgraded and reimagined” versions of 2003 Game Boy Advance releases Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Sapphire – are set to launch internationally later this month on Nintendo 3DS.
