Mythical Pokémon to be Available for a Limited Time Only
REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 10, 2012 – The release of the Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 games for the Nintendo DS family of systems is quickly approaching, and Nintendo is giving fans yet another reason to be excited about their Oct. 7 launch. Consumers who purchase either of the new games early will have the opportunity to connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (broadband Internet access required) before Nov. 12 to receive the Mythical Pokémon Genesect for the first time ever through a free, limited-time distribution. In Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 – which are also playable in 2D on Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL systems – players will return to the Unova region and embark on a new adventure set two years after the events of the Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version games.
Genesect, the newly discovered Mythical Pokémon, has been restored from a 300-million-year-old fossil. Modified by Team Plasma, this Pokémon has a signature move called Techno Blast. Genesect is the only known Pokémon with this move. Genesect is a Bug- and Steel-type Pokémon with the ability to adjust its power levels based on the foe it’s battling. This powerful Pokémon will be available Oct. 7 through Nov. 12 in the United States.

Renegade Kid has already said that Mutant Mudds’ extra PC content, known as the “Grannie” levels, should be heading to the 3DS soon. The studio has since wrapped up its work on the bonus levels for the 3DS version, and they could be out within four to six weeks.
Nintendo will now review and test the new content. Once that’s done, the Big N will determine when the update will be made available for 3DS owners.
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham tweeted earlier today:
“All 60 Mutant Mudds levels tested/completed. Looks like this game is nearly ready for eShop prime-time! Nearly = 4 to 6 weeks btw. Mudds needs to go through Nintendo testing and then get in the queue for update/release.”
We’ve been covering Capcom’s stylish Lost Planet spin-off E.X. Troopers for quite some time now. Sadly, it looks like the game will be staying in Japan.
Writing on the company’s official forums about possible localization, Capcom’s Christian Svensson said:
“Guys, I have no news to share on that front right now. Sorry.”
In a different thread, Svensson noted that there aren’t “plans to bring it Westward at this time.”
