Nintendo has confirmed that the two special Pokemon X/Y 3DS XL systems, previously announced for Japan, are also coming to North America and Europe. Red and blue limited edition systems featuring Xerneas and Yveltal will be out on September 27.
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.
Yes!
Would have bought if this bundle had an early digital release for X or Y, like the Wind Waker HD Wii U bundle is :(
Oh well, I'm gonna persuade my friend who doesn't have a 3DS yet to finally get this. I can't wait to battle him in Pokémon.
Anyone know if this is limited edition?
