super

 

[kuroneko0509]

Early 2016 for Europe... ehh
Hopefully it won't be that disappointing as Gates to Infinity

 

[ZeroX03]

Please be a huge improvement over Gates to Infinity. Faster, deeper and more challenging.

 

[DarkWish]

Sweet! I hope it's more like the DS games with the awesome story, and not the more recent Mystery Dungeon games.

 

[Nightbird]

Intrested, but i need a Trailer!

 

[JoeM86]

The timing of the release of this further cements my theory that we're to have no main series title this year.

 

[ShogunDarius]

next year for eu? ugh

 

[BatDan]

Oh neat. Hopefully it's more like the Explorers Trilogy and less like the last 3DS title.

The timing of the release of this further cements my theory that we're to have no main series title this year.

That's surprising. But hopefully a good thing since it means the next mainline game will have a bit more polish to it.

 

[Zalman]

I hope it's as good as Explorers of Sky.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Please be more like the DS games, those were awesome

 

[Jimmyfenix]

spring 2016 for europe? come on man

 

[TreIII]

Sweet! I hope it's more like the DS games with the awesome story, and not the more recent Mystery Dungeon games.

And also give us a wider variety of PKMN to start as.

 

[Robin64]

Totally super.

Autumn 2015 in Japan, Winter of 2015 in North America, Spring 2016 in Europe. Ouch.

 

[cws]

No f2p ?

 

[Mpl90]

Spring 2016 for Europe, at this point, makes it impossible to have the next main Pokémon game in February, given the current trend of simultaneous releases. So, I suppose it'll release next Fall/Holiday. If NX releases on Fall/Holiday, then...

 

[Nightbird]

I hope it's as good as Explorers of Sky.

Aren't you putting the Bar a bit high if you require it to be as good as the best one?

 

[Kinsei]

Yay! Mystery Dungeon is my favorite Pokemon spin-off series.

Please don't be like the last one.

Aren't you putting the Bar a bit high if you require it to be as good as the best one?

Hope =/= requires. Doesn't everyone hope the newest game in a series will be just as good as their personal favorite?

 

[Nightbird]

Spring 2016, at this point, makes it impossible to have the next main Pokémon game in February, given the current trend of simultaneous releases.

Not completly. If it's a Febuary release it would work. But i agree that chances are paperthin by now

 

[JoeM86]

Spring 2016 for Europe, at this point, makes it impossible to have the next main Pokémon game in February, given the current trend of simultaneous releases.

Also possible.

 

[BatDan]

And also give us a wider variety of PKMN to start as.

This too. Gates to Infinity only having 5 to start as was really underwhelming.

 

[Keyouta]

Hope it's as good as Explorers of Sky.

 

[Zalman]

Aren't you putting the Bar a bit high if you require it to be as good as the best one?

You gotta believe!

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

Are these games any good? What are they like? I've always wondered about them but just kinda assumed they were cheap cash-grab spin-offs... but they keep making them, so there's gotta be something about them that people like, right?

 

[Syntsui]

I need to try this series. I always saw it as a shitty unnecessary cash grab spin-off but Shuffle taught me that shitty unnecessary cash grab spin-off can be good.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Its not F2P is it?

 

[Kinsei]

Are these games any good? What are they like? I've always wondered about them but just kinda assumed they were cheap cash-grab spin-offs... but they keep making them, so there's gotta be something about them that people like, right?

They're really fun Rogue-lite dungeon crawlers. Look up some gameplay and see if it's something that will appeal to you.

 

[MicH]

I liked the original Red for GBA, but I wasn't as into Explorers of Sky. Not really excited for this

 

[mclem]

Are these games any good? What are they like? I've always wondered about them but just kinda assumed they were cheap cash-grab spin-offs... but they keep making them, so there's gotta be something about them that people like, right?

They're perfectly competent Mystery Dungeon games, so if you like the roguelike genre, they're probably at least worth finding out a little more!

 

[Zalman]

Are these games any good? What are they like? I've always wondered about them but just kinda assumed they were cheap cash-grab spin-offs... but they keep making them, so there's gotta be something about them that people like, right?

I heard the latest one wasn't that great. I haven't played it though.

 

[Busaiku]

Everything is Super these days.

 

[Nightbird]

You gotta believe!

Thats the Spirit!

Are these games any good? What are they like? I've always wondered about them but just kinda assumed they were cheap cash-grab spin-offs... but they keep making them, so there's gotta be something about them that people like, right?

I think many would consider MD the best Sub-Series of Pokémon. At least thats what i hear a lot.
But the latest one (Gates to Infinity) seemed to be mediocore compared to the rest of the Series.

 

[JoeM86]

Its not F2P is it?

Being revealed so far in advance indicates to me it's a retail title

 

[Busaiku]

If it was F2P, I imagine it would've been a simultaneous release.

 

[Qurupeke]

Please no F2P... And be something good. I love the series but the latest installment really disappointed me.

 

[linkandzelda]

Are these games any good? What are they like? I've always wondered about them but just kinda assumed they were cheap cash-grab spin-offs... but they keep making them, so there's gotta be something about them that people like, right?

The first and second ones were great. The third one never came to the west and the fourth one was below average. The first and second were both for DS and are quite cheap now. I do hope this new one goes back to the height of the series.

 

[JoeM86]

All signs don't point to F2P. Don't worry.

 

[Koppai]

I want a new Pokémon Ranger but this will be okay.

 

[JoeM86]

I want a new Pokémon Ranger but this will be okay.

I'd love a Wii U Ranger.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Being revealed so far in advance indicates to me it's a retail title

Awesome sauce, day 1 for me then.

 

[shimrra]

It would be awesome if the case the game came in was shaped like a SNES cart.

 

[VegiHam]

20-freaking-16? Seriously? Why?

Is this another 'Europe gets Yoshi early' thing? Are we getting something this year this game has to stay out of the way of?

Yokai Watch this holiday in Europe but spring in America, maybe?

 

[Aostia]

Early 2016 for Europe... ehh
Hopefully it won't be that disappointing as Gates to Infinity

that's because we are getting Yokai watch within the end of the year, right?

 

[Kinsei]

I want a new Pokémon Ranger but this will be okay.

Ranger is really fun, but I'd take a new MD any day (unless it's Gates to Infinity).

 

[Mik317]

so I guess this is the pokemon release this year..good

 

[Komo]

next year for eu? ugh

Hey, it takes a lot of time to change all those 'colors' to 'colours'

 

[Hyperfludd]

Please don't be as bad as gates to infinity, please don't be as bad as gates to infinity.

 

[rpmurphy]

The first and second ones were great. The third one never came to the west and the fourth one was below average. The first and second were both for DS and are quite cheap now. I do hope this new one goes back to the height of the series.

Well, used copies are okay, but new copies are expensive.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Given how Gates of Infinity turned out? I will wait and see

 

[flohen95]

Hey, it takes a lot of time to change all those 'colors' to 'colours'

To be fair, the game will most likely support the EU5 languages. Still a bummer.

I'm interested though. Gates to Infinity was a step down from what we had before, but I still enjoyed it.
