It is known across the globe that one of Nintendo’s most famous franchises is Pokémon. There has been news that two new Pokémon games will be coming out this Fall, Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2. Fans across the world will flock to buy this new game. The fans of Pokémon are some of the most loyal around, they come in all ages and each player is as passionate as the next. People who love Pokémon are crazy about these games and both titles are sure to sell millions of copies. So how could a game that is set to sell so many copies actually end up hurting sells of Nintendo’s latest handheld system, the 3DS?
The Pokémon Company has today released the Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 Super Music Collection soundtrack on Apple iTunes for $9.99/€9.99/£7.99. The album features 173 tracks, composed by Game Freak, Junichi Masuda, Go Ichinose, and many others.

Those still eagerly playing either Pokémon Black 2 or White 2 will be pleased that they can get their hands on another Pokédex skin, this time seeing Bianca lend her own unique style.
Wow i think that nintedno could have made a fortune on the game and sold a bunch more 3DS's in the process if they would have sold Pokemon right... I was under the impression no more games were going to be made for regular DS's once the 3DS came out. If i would have know that maybe i wouldnt have bought the 3DS on the release date.
isn't the 3DS backwards compatible with DS games?
Again more BS nonsense.
Games on older systems come out when newer ones are out.
Yeah the 3ds is being killed at number 1?
"hurt the sales of the already hurting Nintendo 3DS."
How is the 3ds hurting at number 1 and breaking records. Trolling is trolling
Game freak made 2 games for the gba after the ds came out. 2 . The first rpg pokemon came out 2 years after launch.
Was ds hurt?
Its been 1 year for the 3ds and already being are acting like butt hurt un informed idiots.
Why does the 3DS need saving? It's the fastest selling handheld of ALL TIME.
Then it already has Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, RE: Revelations, Starfox, and soon to come out:
Kingdom Hearts
Fire Emblem
Metal Gear Solid 3
Kid Icarus Uprising
Tales of the Abysss
I don't get it, it just doesn't make any sense. Nintendo makes crazy money this gen, but somehow, they STILL remain doomed.
I believe a new handheld will come out in 2 years that will bury the DS much like the DS did the gameboy... i wouldn't be suprised if the gameboy is ressurected and is similar to PS Vita. As far as nintendo is concerned when the DS cameout it was suppose to be the "3rd pillar" i won't be suprised if something like this happens. Gameboy= 1st nintendo cellphone that does everything and more,and can be a direct competitor to iphone and andriod.
