Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is a really great game…And right now I fear its fate in North America. I do hope that if we hear something soon, it’s positive localization news.
The chances of seeing remakes of the classic Pokemon Gold/Silver titles are even more likely with some new information. Alex Lucard, who has experience working with both Beckett’s Pokemon Collector Magazine and The Pokemon Company in Japan, has made a couple of claims about the games. First, Lucard says that there will indeed be two titles but they are not DuskGold and DawnSilver. He also notes that PokemonWhiteGold and MoonSilver will not be names of either version in spite of a few rumors floating around. And though Lucard would not discuss release date news, it was mentioned that the remakes may be seen in Japan this November, as that month will mark the 10th anniversary of Pokemon Gold and Silver.
Thanks to Aaron for the news tip!
