BELLEVUE, WA—January 8, 2013—The Pokémon Company and Nintendo announced today that the next generation of Pokémon video games, Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, will launch worldwide in October exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS system. New Pokémon, a new storyline set in a spectacular 3D world, and dynamic battles instantly make Pokémon X and Pokémon Y two of the most highly anticipated video game titles of 2013.
“The worldwide launch of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y this October allows players to begin their adventures at the same time,” said Tsunekazu Ishihara, CEO of The Pokémon Company. “Now, Pokémon fans across the globe can discover the secrets of Pokémon games and can collect, battle, and trade with each other immediately.”
Zen Pinball 2 was originally set to launch on the Wii U eShop in December. Obviously that didn’t happen. The studio is now hoping to have the game ready to go sometime this month.
But why the delay? Community manager “BarbieBobomb” explained that Zen Pinball 2 is the first free download title with paid content on any Nintendo system. As a result, Zen Studios and the Big N have been working extra hard to avoid any potential issues.
“Zen Pinball 2 is the first game of its kind on any Nintendo system (free platform download with paid DLC) so we’re working with Nintendo to make sure there are no issues at launch. It’s a first for them, so we’re doing what we can to make sure everything goes smoothly, even if it means delaying a bit.”
This video technically doesn’t show anything new, but it’s another reminder that Bayonetta 2 is on the way…
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.
The presentation will begin in a little more than 20 minutes – 6 AM ET / 3 AM ET / 12 PM CET.
Remember, folks – the Pokemon Direct will be taking place in a few hours.
Let’s just hope the site stays together until then, since it just experienced an annoying hiccup for a couple of hours. If NE does go down for whatever reason, you can watch the presentation here at 6 AM ET / 3 AM PT. We’ll have a live-stream on the site if all goes well…
