The greatest media crossover since Who Framed Roger Rabbit is exactly one month away from its Japanese release. Let the onslaught of television commercials begin!

Above is a 30-second spot for Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition, and after the jump is an abridged 15-second spot. I can't make heads or tails of what's being said, but I imagine it's something along the lines of, "Damn, son! I can't believe this is for real! Sheeeeeiiiit!"

The Nintendo-Tecmo Koei team-up for DS still hasn't been announced for Western territories, but I'm crossing my fingers so hard, you don't even know.

I'm usually not one to be negative, but the chances of this getting localized are incredibly slim. Just a friendly warning to not overhype yourselves.

@ Azzurus

And why exactly are they slim? Its not like Koei wouldn't bring their dinasty / samurai warrior titles out here. So I don't see why they shouldn't bring out a way more popular pokemon cross over.

Is this gonna be a strategy game with pokemon, or is it gonna be Pokemon in the past with those Samurai Chars as the Trainers?


I hope its the sec, and if not, they should make something like this.
Normal Pokemon gameplay but in older times.

There is no way this is going to be remotely like a regular pokemon game. Looks like it'll be a straight SRPG + pokemon flavour.

And they've brought out loads of other pokemon spin off games over here, the only thing that might cause a small problem for a publisher is that the name 'Nobunaga' means fuck all to the man on the street in the west, so I expect to be hearing about 'Pokemon Warriors' or something equally(and safely) generic at some point down the line

I usually don't care much about SRPGs (mostly because I'm pretty terrible at them) or Pokemon spin-offs, but something about this one makes me want to throw my money at it.

I only heard this announced a few months ago so they were able to keep it pretty well under wraps so if there is no word of a port yet don't be surprised, they'd be idiots not to port this gem of a crossover between two hit franchises.

@Slythemagicunicorn
Did you miss the almost universal lack of pants on female characters in each game?
