The Japanese version of Yahoo confirmed that Nintendo is remaking Pokémon Silver & Gold for the DS. Last Sunday, a Pokémon variety show in Japan hinted that they would be announcing the titles on their next show, which happened on Sunday. Even though Yahoo beat them to the punch, the TV show was the first to premiere actual gameplay footage, which we embedded up top.

If you’re a fan of the series, then you should recognize that the remakes look almost identical (graphically) to the last Pokémon games released on the same handheld system. Although, it does have one minor difference, the Pokémon following the main character is different. Yay?

From the sounds of it, Nintendo is renaming the games Pokémon Heart Gold & Soul Silver. Is it me, or do the new names sound like a bunch of hippies retitled them?

I’m not going to lie, I’m just not the biggest fan of the classic RPG but I understand many of you are so, enjoy.

I also embedded the whole segment after the jump, so if you want to watch seven minutes of people yelling Japanese, be my guest.
