I cannot provide a source so take this as you will.

A Nintendo Direct is scheduled for late April to coincide with the launch of Mario Kart 8. A bona-fide Smash trailer and a few other games are expected to be featured. Of these games is Hyperdimension Neptunia U, Urban Champion released on Wii U Virtual Console, and the announcement that Game Freak and the Pokemon franchise have been acquired by Capcom, along with Ruby and Sapphire HD being released on Steam, XBLA and PSN.

Their SKUs are currently labeled Ruby HD and Sapphire HD and their estimated release is March 2015. They will feature the main-games of Ruby Sapphire in 1080p with a smoothing filter placed over the original sprites. So its like the original plus better graphics and online play. The main player characters will be renamed Chris and Jill, as the game is now being considered a part of Resident Evil canon. There will also be 39 new achievements and DLC to unlock Southern Island, Faraway Island, Navel Rock and Birth Island.

Im about to pretype my Showderp suggestion and mash the Update button so I may not be able to answer any questions, but if anyone asks I had to share this with someone.
