The Pokémon Company and Nintendo recently announced that the next generation of Pokémon videogames, Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, will launch worldwide in October for the Nintendo 3DS system. Following that reveal Electronic Theatre can today bring you the original Nintendo Direct unveiling in full.
Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.
why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.
Answer should be obvious.
No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon
BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
These were already the Games Of The Year for 2013 2 seconds after they were announced!
I don't see the big deal about Pokemon games but I'm 24 years old and am hardly their demographic. I'd be all over this if i was 11-12. Reminds me of buying Pokemon Yellow on release all those years ago.
This will sell tons of 3DS consoles. Hopefully Vita will have a few more games out before/by then so they can boost up sales too.
I am very excite
i'll pick them both up day one
