Pokémon Black / White Version 2... On the DS?! Why?!

Last Saturday’s announcement of Pokémon Black Version 2 & Pokémon White Version 2 was rather shocking. We knew that there was going to be a Pokémon game announcement, and we all knew that it was likely going to be the third installment of the fifth generation Pokémon game that would most definitely include new Kyurem forms. We didn’t, however, see it all.

A big shocker was that both Pokémon Black & White Version 2 will be for the DS and not the 3DS. That’s right, the new main series Pokémon games won’t be for Nintendo’s latest handheld.

I think it could work out if the features mentioned in the article do in fact turn out to be true.

Knight_Cid5200d ago

the same reason why persona 4 was on the ps2, or god of war on the ps2

SavageKuma5200d ago

That is indeed weird especially if it is a second version, it would mean something improved and has it on the 3ds but it being on the DS just makes it confusion.

Knight_Cid5200d ago

its only confusing if youve been arond gaming for a week

SavageKuma5200d ago

Not necessarily KID....because you have two of the same just one with version two on it, why not just make version two on the 3DS with better graphics and a 3D fight system!

Knight_Cid5200d ago

your calling me a kid when you dont even know the history of gaming?

Seriously dude?

This is a sequel, A brand new game

Do you think this is the first time a game has come out when there is a new version out?

Well do you?

gamefreak ade drill dozer 1 year after the ds launch on the gba. Same with fire emblem. Same with god of war 2 on the ps2, sale with perosna 4 , same with alot of other games

svoulis5199d ago

I think he was more-so referring to your user name not actually calling you a kid.

Anyway, the reason why those games remained on PS2 was the development. It was too far into development to just drop the God of War II and start over again.

The same could be said about Pokemon B&W 2. Maybe they just want to stick with the engine that powered the prequels and because DS has such a high install base already it seems logical. I agree with the author, if Nintendo made both a 3DS & DS version of the game, it would please both parties.

A lot of people are like "the 3DS plays DS games so its not big deal" Well it kind of is when the only other Pokemon game you have on the 3DS at the moment is a stupid Wii remake.

Everyone is hailing how the 3DS will get its own Pokemon game but the case still stands that if a company wants to really push a product and fill people with hope and what not. They should eventually deliver and as it stands the 3DS only has a handful of games that really meet those standards.

BlackjackCF5200d ago

Black and White 2? They couldn't have titled it something else? >_>

turokgames5200d ago

They ran out of colors, duh :P

KingNintendoFanboy5200d ago

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon will be the next ones on 3DS! I'm calling it now!

PaladinXII5200d ago

Are you not in favor of color blind people having a place in gaming? j/k

Seriously, it's a direct sequel, similar to the Final Fantasy games with immediate follow-ups (X-2, XII-2, XIII-2).

TopDudeMan5200d ago

You know, at first I was sceptical, but turns out there are a shitload of DSes out there.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi78d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer79d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot79d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno79d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay79d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno77d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK78d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
