Pokémon Returns to Hand-Held Nintendo Systems with New Features and an Original Storyline

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– What’s black and white and packed with new features that portable gaming fans will love? Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2, both launching Oct. 7 for the Nintendo DS family of hand-held systems (also playable in 2D on Nintendo 3DS systems), deliver a wealth of new options and story elements that experienced Pokémon fans and newcomers alike can instantly enjoy. Revisiting the imaginative Unova two years after the events of 2011’s Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version, these games invite players to meet old friends and make new ones as they quest to face down rival Gym Leaders, survive heated turn-based battles and collect as many Pokémon as possible. The ability to make your own Pokémon movies, connect with other players in new ways and enjoy a new storyline add even more fun to the mix.

In Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2, players take on the role of a Pokémon Trainer who must explore new areas of the Unova region two years after the events of Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version. This marks the first time in the history of the core Pokémon video game series that storylines have continued from one game release to another. The characters and environments in Unova have undergone extraordinary changes, from the rise of new Gym Leaders to a new Unova Challenge area where players can level up their Pokémon more easily than ever before. A newly upgraded Pokédex also makes it simpler to find data and track Pokémon – including new forms of Legendary Pokémon.


It’s been a bit of a wait since the game was released in Japan last July, but Atlus has announced that it will be bringing the latest game in the portable dungeon-crawling series to the US in early 2013. The game features a whole new labyrinth to explore, new character classes, airship exploration and the ability to switch to a new “casual” (not soul-crushing) difficulty.

For a while there I was worried that I’d have to buy a Japanese 3DS to play Etrian Odyssey. Now I guess I’ll have to buy an American one instead! Full press release over the break.


It feels like we’ve been waiting for NightSky to arrive on a Nintendo platform for a very long time. Later this month though, it will finally show up on the 3DS eShop.

Nintendo’s own game page states that NightSky will be hitting the store on October 25. It will cost $9.99.
