Namco Bandai had just one Nintendo title on hand for the company’s Global Gamers Day event last week. The game in question is Thundercats.

As you’ll find out in the summary below, Thundercats is closely tied to the new television series and features a lot of hack-and-slash gameplay. Namco Bandai also explains why the project is being made for the DS rather than the 3DS.

Here’s what we know about the game thus far:

– Made by Aspect Digital (Naruto: Ninja Council)
– Side-scrolling action game
– Based on the new cartoon series
– Picks up at the very beginning of the story
– Lizard army advancing on Thundera
– King Claudus, Grune, and Tygra are fighting
– Lion-O has been left behind
– Grune defects as the forces of good are about to prevail
– Lion-O runs into battle with his Sword of Omens
– Lion-O slashed at the Lizard army while running from one side of the palace to the other
– Three Lizard enemies in the demo: green soldiers, others were armed with arrows, and orange lizards were slightly stronger than the grunts
– Face buttons used to attack
– Jump to platforms and defeat unprepared enemies
– Power-ups dropped by enemies when they’re killed
– Use the power-ups to restore health or charge the Sword of Omens
– Icon of the sword appears on the touch screen when you’ve collected enough
– Tap the icon to make Lion-O shoot a red beam of light that attacks any enemies in front
– Lion-O and Tygra reunite at the end of the level
– Tygra pined that King Claudus is dead, Mumm-Ra is leading the Lizard army, and the only reason Grune betrayed them is because he is under Mumm-Ra’s control
– Lion-O and Tygra escape
– Tygra becomes a support character
– Icons for Tygra, Cheetara, Panthro and Wily Kat & Wily Kit on either side of the Sword of Omens
– Touch one of these icons and that character will come out to momentarily assist Lion-O
– Oonly play as Lion-O
– Game is closely tied to the cartoon
– Sound effects/voice acting from the series included
– Concept art added in as an extra reward for players
– Players can see how the animation team decided on the final character designs
– On the DS rather than the 3DS because the companies involved are aware of the current economic climate and know many parents, who would probably be buying Thundercats for their kids, might not be able to afford a 3DS
– Higher chance of their children already owning a DS
– 3DS also supports backwards compatibility

Thundercats is slated for an August launch in North America.

More Pokemon Black/White 2 details have emerged from the latest CoroCoro scans and Pokemon Smash. We have information about the game in general along with an update on the Unova’s changes since the original games.

The new details are as follows:

Details

– Tepig, Snivy, Oshawott will be offered as starting Pokemon
– More detailed routes
– Azurill and Lillipup were seen together within an early route during Pokemon Smash
– New animations for the Pokemon
– Hiougi City is much larger than previous starting areas

Unova map differences

– Unity Tower shown
– Route 4 is now lined with building reminiscent of a mining town in architecture
– New gateway building between Route 4 and Nimbasa City
– Entralink is completely different, including no moat, Entree seems to be a waterfall of some sort, no Entralink bridge (though it still exists above the rivers)
– Driftveil City is very different, lighthouse does not exist, two “craters” exist, shipping docks are less developed
– New city directly south of Driftveil City, another new city west and slightly south of that, and then Hiougi City southwest of that.
– The electric web in front of Chargestone Cave has been removed
– Challenger’s Cave no longer exists
– Poké Transfer Lab carefully covered with ice
– Ice seems to be translucent, as Poké Transfer Lab’s outline seems to be visible
– New area (possibly a building) due north of Poké Transfer Lab
– There is a yellow building to the right of the Ferris Wheel in Nimbasa City. The path in front of it also now extends across to the stream.
– Castelia City, Anville Town, and Opelucid City seem to be identical to before
– Ice is used to cover up parts of the region, simply an overlay layer

The final two (or should I say three?) images in the gallery are “official concept art” that will be used for pre-order bonuses. Specifically, they’ll be placed on stickers, clear files, pouches, and notebooks.
