After days of waiting and several teases, Nintendo, Game Freak, and the Pokemon Company finally unveiled its brand new video game. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata made the announcement during a short, live-streamed video segment just a short while ago.

Pokemon X/Y is the newest entry in the series. As expected, they’re in the works for the 3DS – the handheld’s first true, mainline Pokemon release. Both versions feature more 3D-like visuals than ever before, new Pokemon, and more.

Never before have Pokemon games launched in all countries at the same time, but that’ll be changing with these two titles. Pokemon X/Y launch worldwide this October.

In just under eleven hours, Satoru Iwata will host a short Nintendo Direct – or “Pokemon Direct”. Iwata is expected to make some sort of big announcement relating to the Pokemon game series.

The content of the reveal is completely under wraps, but we may have a small clue as to what is in store.

Nintendo Direct pages from both Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of Australia contain a couple of 3DS keywords – “nintendo 3ds” and “3ds”. Notice there’s no Wii U there!

Tomorrow’s announcement may very well be a new Pokemon 3DS game. Most probably would have anticipated this type of reveal, but this does kind of rule out the possibility of a Wii U title. We’ll know for sure tomorrow.

Because of the New Year, Media Create hasn’t unleashed any new sales data in Japan. But Enterbrain has come through with some information, revealing a rough first week figure for Level-5’s brand new 3DS game Fantasy Life.

According to Enterbrain, Fantasy Life sold 134,000 copies in its first few days at Japanese retail. The game can also be purchased on the 3DS eShop.

Fantasy Life is most definitely performing well thus far. In fact, Level-5 took to its website to apologize for shortages and thank fans for their support. New stock will be making its way to stores soon.
