The Next Generation of Pokémon Introduces an Amazing New Adventure, Powerful Mega Evolutions and a Spectacular New World to Explore

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Fans around the world are about to experience a major evolution to the Pokémon series of video games. On Oct. 12, Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, the newest installments in the world-famous series, are launching for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, including the new Nintendo 2DS system, which also launches on Oct. 12. In the games, players can discover new Pokémon, interact with them like never before, connect with Trainers around the world and explore an entirely new region that is brought to life with stunning new visuals.

“More than 15 years after its initial debut, Pokémon remains one of the strongest franchises in video games,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “With Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, the series has evolved in a breathtaking way. It’s time to once again catch ’em all!”


During last week’s Nintendo Direct, a pair of special Wii Remote Plus products were announced. Mario and Luigi will both receiving specially-designed controllers next month.

Pre-orders for both Wiimotes are now open. You can reserve the Mario version here or Luigi version here.

In other news, I came across a discount for Tales of the Abyss while browsing on Amazon today. The 3DS RPG is currently 50% off. It’s actually one of my personal favorite titles on the system, so I’d recommend it. It’s not for everyone, though!
