[dakkumauji]

Yesssss!

One game that will fullfill my Sengoku and Pokemon obsession? June can't come fast enough!

[AnkiRendan]

Thank you Nintendo! I'm ready to preorder!

[Yoshi]

No Psyduck in this game :[?

[Sagitario]

Will more than likely get!

[Emitan]

No Psyduck in this game :[?

Who cares it has Raichu

[Blizzard]

I'm happy about this and will almost certainly get it! :D

[Oni Link 666]

Is this anything like Final Fantasy Tactics? I've always wanted a Pokemon themed FFT.

[Andrex]

Who cares it has Raichu

What aboot Togekiss?

[Zefah]

I've been playing the Japanese version, and it's quite a bit of fun. Not as complicated as a Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre, but still a very fun game in that style. The type advantages/disadvantages make for some fun strategies (each country/kingdom has a type-theme).

Also, Pokémon and Sengoku era! Awesome!

[Demoncarnotaur]

Awesome, I am glad this is making its way over here! It honestly looks like it should be a lot of fun to play, and Pokemon should add a little extra charm to the formula.

[CorvoSol]

See Square Enix? Nintendo can announce a localization of a popular and awaited title THIS fast. What's the hold up for you guys again?

[Cheska]

Yep, I've declared today a good day. Can't wait to pre order :D

[Katzii]

Could I get some clarification here - is this a 3DS game or a regular DS game?

[marrec]

I've been begging for this and they deliver!

You can all thank me.

[Oni Link 666]

Could I get some clarification here - is this a 3DS game or a regular DS game?

[walking fiend]

I suspect this will be the game that introduces me to Pokemon series; tried one on DS before, but couldn't get into it

[sixteen-bit]

Interested. I wasn't sure this would come out here.

[upandaway]

Yeah getting this. I was sorta thinking it won't come.

[wrowa]

Has anyone here actually played the Japanese version?

The game looks really interesting, but I still have my doubts whether or not it is actually a good game.

[warpaint]

sweet day one buy

[Syph Medwes]

Haha 3 legendaries...and jigglypuff

[gashikunFLCL]

Yes! The power of Pokémon. Conquest Getto.

[Zefah]

Haha 3 legendaries...and jigglypuff

4 Legendaries, actually!

Don't forget Articuno...

I just started it the other day. It's quite good so far. Lots of stuff to do.

[KevinCow]

What?

This... what?

It's like, Pokemon, but ancient Japan and a turn-based strategy?



...What?

[TreIII]

It's actually quite fun, though admittedly, in typical PKMN-style, the real fun doesn't begin until after you've completed the main quest.

The main quest, which also does more to double as a tutorial, would give you the wrong impression that things are pretty simplistic and almost too FFT-like. By the time you finally do beat Nobunaga again, that's when things really do get interesting, where rival warlords will actually try to invade your shit and it actually starts to do more to play like a Nobunaga's Ambition game. Then there's also the various other free episodes that you can download, a la PKMN Ranger and etc., that continues the story in other ways.

[Oni Link 666]

Haha 3 legendaries...and jigglypuff

+ Mewtwo. And this is an angry Jigglypuff. That means he kicks ass, like Kirby. Grrr!

[jooey]

It's an actual* Pokemon game on DS and there are people who thought it wouldn't be localized?



*I need some adjective to deflect people who bring up Pokemon Typing

[Xater]

Haha 3 legendaries...and jigglypuff

Jigglypuff is legendary in my heart!

[scy]

It's an actual* Pokemon game on DS and there are people who thought it wouldn't be localized?

On the DS and involves a lot of Japanese "history" and is an SRPG.

Hey, there's legitimate doubts somewhere in that sentence.

[BatDan]

Not a 3DS title, and some people had worries since the WiiWare Mystery Dungeon games never came over.

[MidnightScott]

NoA's going to bring this over but not Fire Emblem? Surely they must be saving the FE announcement for E3 or something right?

I believe Fire Emblem has voice acting do that is going to take a lot more work than Pokémon. Wait for E3, only 2 months to go!!! ^_^

[backlot]

Well Nintendo does have a history of not localizing games at the end of a system's lifetime.

[jooey]

Not a 3DS title,

Right, it's a DS title, a system that a fuckload of children in this world still have.

[Inferno313]

I suspect this will be the game that introduces me to Pokemon series; tried one on DS before, but couldn't get into it

Which one did you try?

[Hatsuu]

My heart is so happy. Yeeeeeeeees.

Wow this looks surprisingly fun.

Such a weird but fitting crossover

Oh god oh god oh god that looks great

[CorvoSol]

I've played a lot of it. It's fun, despite not understanding everything. I imagine when I know how to do more than just win fights it'll be better, still.

And nobody talk smack about that Jigglypuff. Jiggs is a total badass in this game. Just finished the fighting Kingdom or whatever and Jiggs waltzed right in and bitch-slapped the boss for mass damage. Seriously, Jigglypuff's bitch-slap now rivals Golbez' bitch-slap for my favorite slap in games.

[PSFan]

Jigglypuff's face reminds me of the challenge accepted jpg for some reason

[Anth0ny]

Awesome. Day one.

Not only will I be picking up 2 DS games in June, I'll be picking up 2 Pokemon games in June. what da heyl

[Syph Medwes]

Woops i'm blind 4 legendaries my bad.
Or maybe it's supposed to be 5...jigglypuff legendary alt forme confirmed!

[Hot Coldman]

It's 4 legendaries plus Mewtwo. You all played Melee.

[Alchemy]

Awesome. Day one. Not only will I be picking up 2 DS games in June, I'll be picking up 2 Pokemon games in June. what da heyl

Importing B/W2?

[Delio]

Will be picking this up day 1 :)

[Instro]

Not really big on Pokemon but I would totally buy this.

[Bullza2o]

Whoa the game that I least expected a localization of. Hopefully this is a sign of NOA not slacking in localizing awesome games.

[Anth0ny]

Importing B/W2?

Yes. Can't wait.

[Femmeworth]

Haha 3 legendaries...and jigglypuff

There's some serious sexism going on in that boxart.

[Starwolf_UK]

NOE teh sucks, rannounce it nao (okay theres that German magazine which was like "ehhh, it could happen"). Sorry, its just I get a bit bitter from Americans burning the NOA flag when ever anything gets announced for Europe.

Conquest, eh? I guess would scare people off "hmm the Nobunaga's Ambition version sounds complicated".

And a recent Typing game for the DS, but that makes sense since the whole game was based around learning to teach Japanese kids how to write the names of the Pokemon in romanji.

The Bluetooth keyboard it came with (worked with other devices too) and the cart having bluetooth receiver built in would have also cut down on the profit and given NOA seem very conservative on that front now that would be another reason to go with the work needed (the English names being different would mean a lot of re-balancing to change what monsters appear).
