Professor Layton fans, get ready. The first movie based on the popular video game franchise is finally coming to North America. It was originally released in Japan in late 2009 and Europe last year.
Viz Media, a company that dabbles in all things Japanese-related, will be bringing the movie stateside. More details will be shared later this year.
A new Pokemon DS game titled “How to Play Pokemon Card Game DS” is launching in Japan in roughly one month. The thing is, it’s actually just a tutorial that’s included with a card-playing game. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to play the card game, perhaps this software will aid you in your quest.
The cart contains a quiz mode and rule dictionary. Expectedly, you’ll also be able to face off against a CPU opponent like you would in the real world. Players will be able to transfer the game to other DS owners as well.
The full set, which includes playing cards, three 30 card decks, a play matt, a damage counter, and the DS tutorial, will be released in Japan on August 5 for ¥2,980.
You can kind of say that the launch box for nintendogs + cats in Japan is a collector’s item. Why? Nintendo has decided to completely change the game’s boxart because some folks were getting confused as to which titles were for DS, and which ones were for 3DS. Silly if you ask me, especially since it’s quite easy to differentiate between 3DS and DS software…
