Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version Introduce Evolved Battle Systems
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
The upcoming Pokémon™ Black Version and Pokémon White Version games for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems feature more than 150 never-before-seen-Pokémon™. No matter which version players choose, they’re sure to have fun with an array of expanded features for taking their Pokémon into battle, either in the game’s main adventure, or head-to-head against friends.
Triple Battles debut in Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version, giving players more ways than ever to battle their customized team of Pokémon. Conducted in three-on-three format, Triple Battles introduce even more strategy to the game’s already deep battle system. Depending on a Pokémon’s placement in the battle lineup, it will only be able to attack certain Pokémon from an opponent’s trio, providing an exciting new way to battle. For example, a Pokémon in the center of a player’s lineup can attack any of its three opponents. However, a Pokémon positioned on the left or right of the formation can only attack the Pokémon in the middle of the opposing lineup, or directly in front of it.

Trinen on the 3DS’ eShop, 3DSWare, region-locking, battery life, movies, and more
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News | 0 comments
Bill Trinen on the 3DS’ launch games…
At today’s event, we’re only talking about the launch window. In terms of the day-to-day titles, we’ll probably be going into that in the next few months, closer to launch.
Trinen on if the eShop is coming later…
“Yeah, obviously, I mean we showed the video of the store today — it proved that it has a lot more features on this version than on Wii and Nintendo DSi. In terms of how or when it’s going to be available, that’s an announcement for another day.”
Trinen on whether or not he thinks the eShop will be available before E3…
“Today we’re really focused on the price announcement, the launch window time frame, and then in terms of specific announcements on each title in the shop, we’ll do that as we get closer to launch. We need to save some limits for later.”

Eshiro on Okami’s lack of success
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Capcom producer Motohide Eshiro…
“I can’t comment officially but, personally speaking, I think it had a lot to do with the announcements for new consoles. That was overshadowing any other game news at the time.”
Unfortunately, I feel as though Okamiden is in a similar situation as its predecessor. The game is coming out very close to the launch of the 3DS. I’m somewhat concerned that the system’s launch will overshadow the release of Okamiden.

Then it’s back to the present, where you’ve got to stay cool under pressure as an air traffic mastermind in Airport Mania®: Non-Stop Flights for Nintendo DSiWare™. Just when things start to settle down, Rocks N’ Rockets will inspire you to step up and fight off an onslaught of deadly meteors using your Nintendo DSi stylus. With hundreds of downloadable titles to choose from – plus demo versions of select WiiWare games for zero Wii Points™ – you’ll never face another humdrum afternoon again.
