Nintendo announces brand new Pokemon games for 3DS
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
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.
New Pokemon announcement is 3DS-related?
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 0 comments

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.
