Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition/Pokemon Conquest

[MaddogSix]

I played a lil of the Japanese version, it's pretty cool, definitely better than Ranger and pinball, and on the same level as Mystery Dungeon. Of course, if I understood what the characters were saying I'd probably have more fun!

Now, here's all the Pokemon you can get in Pokemon Conquest:

Spoiler:

I can't stop staring at all of those moving Pokemon at once!

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

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.

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

I actually like this.

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

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.

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

 

[Dying Light]

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.

Pokemon Conquest

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.
