Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition/Pokemon Conquest

[Sydian]

Does anyone else find it interesting that - apart from Zekrom/Reshiram - there's only one of each relevant legendary pair/trio?

I was just about to point that out! However, there are a few trios missing (unless I just wasn't looking hard enough). I was thinking, "What an odd mix of legendaries..." lol

[FrostPheonix]

The game seems interesting, like the advance wars series. I probs will buy it when it comes out; also, do you guys know if hooh or lugia are available?

[Mr Cat Dog]

No, they aren't. The list of available Pokemon can be found here.

[Spinosaurus]

A strategy RPG Pokemon game set in old Japan about an actual war except with Pokemon?

I thought I wouldn't be playing a Pokemon game for a WHILE.

I actually like this.

[Toshiro.]

Not really all that interested in this game, but the artwork for the pokemon are amazing!

[Suicune™]

I've kinda forgotten about this game since the news of B2W2 has been churned out.. I'm not sure whether this looks like my type of game but I think I might give it a try.

[Mr Cat Dog]

I guess I'll make my mind up about the game when it eventually gets a European release date... still waiting, guys!

[Dragonight]

I've played the Japanese version and I loved it! It's something different from the usual catching, training, etc.

[bobandbill]

It got an Australian release date of the 21st June, with the Pokemon Conquest name. Source.

Does anyone else think that it's a bad idea releasing this 5 days before Black and White 2? I mean, I know it's not the English release, but a lot of people will probably be saving to import the games. Which means sales for this will go down. IMO, it's a bad move.

I don't think Nintendo expects this to do remotely as well as any of the main series games, especially in the US/Australia where Nobunga's Ambition isn't particularly well known. The hyper-fans, if they want to, will find a way to both import the Japanese BW2 release and purchase the US Conquest release. Indeed, I imagine the importers being a very limited part of the market... but that's admittedly just speculation on my part.

[The Zororoaster]

Strategy RPGs and Pokemon are the two most addictive kinds of video games. Each have consumed hundreds of hours of my time. If they can pull this combo off, I can already forsee what my summer plans will be...

[Alphos]

looks cool. Not sure if I like it though. I hope for the best! It definitely has neat graphics.

[Kat Alyst]

When I watched people play through the Japanese version, I kept thinking to myself, "That looks really fun. It's such an interesting twist on the series." So when I found out that it was announced for release in the US, I was very excited. I can't wait to play it. :3

[Musketeer]

Glad others find this neat. I am an avid strategist, but I don't know. Me, on the other hand, thinks this is a shaky move. I like the idea of Pokémon getting a little darker, but strategy too? This is something that will make me go "hmm..." until US release.

Anyway, the Groudon emperor guy looks pretty cool.

[Kirbin]

So Pokemon Conquest will be releasing in North America pretty soon do you think it's worth buying?

[The Legend of Zorra]

I've gotta say, I don't normally go all out and buy games like this first day ... but the premise of the game is irresistible. Not to mention the fact that GameStop has a bonus for those who pre-order (five extras), which might just seal the deal for me. All the reviews I've heard (not many) seem fairly positive (with NP giving it a 9.0 out of 10).

[Mr Cat Dog]

So, this came out in the US today. Anyone picked up a copy? I'd be really interested to hear people's thoughts on it.

[SnowpointQuincy]

I went to Gamestop today, they said they wouldn't have it until tomorrow or the next day.

Lame. I wanted to conquer the Earth with pokemon.

I don't think any stores have it. I went to 15 different stores after work and all of them have them dated to release tomorrow like normal games.

[King!]

Yeah, I went for it today all prepared and everything and no luck ._. I'll have to go back tomorow and pick it up :\

[shinx12345]

After completing it I can assure you, if you enjoy fire emblem or advance wars, this is a little different. It doesn't have the same 'vibe',. Nevertheless, it is a good game, but being set in Japan and not having Ho-oh seems a wasted opportunity. Let me know what the story is like, Obviously I understood very little of it when I was Playing.

[Haseyo]

It's really troll how everywhere said it gets released today, but now they all say tomorrow. I wouldn't be mad if it was announced, but I hate how Gamestop tries to take no fault at all by saying "No it was 19th all along."

I would play my JP version some more, but I'd rather wait so I can actually understand everything.

Gamestop really isn't at fault. Nintendo tells the stores when to release games and Nintendo is the one that said it would be released on the 18th, though anyone that works in a gamestore knows that games are only released on Sundays(Nintendo only, usually a Mario Game some odd cases Pokemon((Though B/W Locally was still released Tuesday so even the official release dates are wrong for where I live))) and Tuesdays.

[Haseyo]

Still, there were a bunch of angry people all around my area today. They could've at least said "It was pushed back."

Don't tell me two days before "Oh it comes out Monday" then in Monday say "Oh it was Tuesday all along, who told you Monday?"
