Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Get Steelbook Cases for UK Pre-Orders

By Ryan Bates

In another case of “God we hope we get it,” Nintendo has announced that the United Kingdom has a chance to pick up some cool pre-order bonuses for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, including picking up on one of the newest trends in pre-order goodies – steelbook cases.

The limited editions, cased in steelbook covers, feature as expected the primal versions of Groudon (on Omega Ruby, above) or Kyogre (on Alpha Sapphire, below) with the two facing off in battle on the inside. Pre-orderers will also receive a limited edition miniature of their preferred Pokemon.

Pre-orders are being taken now at the Nintendo UK store, or at GAME stores or their website. As of yet, no word on if this will cross the pond, or if any US bundles are being planned.

I'm currently based out of Las Vegas, NV (no I don't gamble all the time or live in a hotel on the strip) but I'm a So Cal kid through and through. I'm a Nintendiehard -- I stand by my man -- but I'm a fan of games no matter what the console, including Steam. RPGs, fighting, and action/adventure are my fortes. Give me a great story and characters any day. Call of Duty? I guess, if that's your thing. Classic Final Fantasy and Zelda? Now you're cookin' with gas!

When I'm not gaming, I like culinary adventures, moviegoing, and the Intert00bz. Ask me about my favorite web shows! I can get down on some anime, my favorite sports are boxing and baseball, and I can even get in tune with that parapsychological vibe, even though it's well-known and well-documented I'm kinda a pansy with horror stuff. (I think they get a kick out of assigning me those games for review.)

I'm also single and available, but sorry gamer girls, I play with joysticks.
