DS

This is late… very late. We have the first screenshots from the DS version of The Amazing-Spider Man. For unknown reasons, Activision is releasing the images now, despite the fact that it’s been out since last month.

The Amazing Spider-Man DS is a much different game than the 3DS and console versions. It’s a side-scrolling 2D game made by Other Ocean Interactive, the creator of Dark Void Zero.

You can find a sampling of screenshots from The Amazing Spider-Man DS in the gallery above.

Get Ready to Enter the Pokémon World Tournament in Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2

10th July 2012 – Nintendo has revealed new information about the Pokémon World Tournament gameplay mode that debuts in Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 launching for the Nintendo DS family of systems on 12th October 2012. The game is also playable in 2D on Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL. In Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2, players will return to the Unova Region and embark on a brand new adventure set two years after the events of the acclaimed Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version games.

The history behind Nexon’s MapleStory DS is pretty incredible. It was announced for the DS way back in 2006. Nintendo finally published the title in Korea back in 2010, and it made its way to Japan late last year.

Could a North American/European version be possible as well? Dirctor Hong Sungjoon has said that Nexon will consider releasing the game overseas as a download on 3DS. By that, he likely means distributing the title on the eShop.

Sungjoon said:

“In reality, we think it is now too difficult to publish it as a package in America and Europe. However, we will consider if it is possible to publish it in the form of a download on Nintendo 3DS.”

Nintendo of Europe has been absolutely fantastic when it comes to game localizations. However, for the most part, it will be missing out on a fairly high-profile title.

There are no plans to localize Pokemon Conquest for Europe outside of the UK. The factors behind the decision are unknown, but I guess NOE has its reasons.
