It’s safe to say that the upcoming Nintendo DS title Pokemon + Nobunaga’s Ambition is easily one of the most bizarre crossovers ever witnessed in gaming history, and many felt that way when the game was revealed last month. That’s not to say that the game will be lackluster in any way, shape, or form, but it’s still a peculiar installment in the Pokemon lineage. Regardless of how bizarre this game initially appears, it still has “Pokemon” in the title, meaning that it will surely sell like hotcakes when it hits Japan later this year.
As the game slowly marches towards release in Japan, North American gamers who would like to avoid importing the title are still wondering whether or not they’ll get a taste of the sweet, sweet Poke-nectar known as Pokemon + Nobunaga’s Ambition. While Nintendo of America has yet to release any information on the game’s potential localization, Japan has been a complete polar opposite. In fact, they’ve just released a brand new trailer for the game, and it features all kinds of awesomeness that hasn’t been shown until now.
The latest trailer for Pokemon + Nobunaga’s Ambition can be caught below.
Regretfully, I’m not fluent in Japanese, so I’m unable to decipher what new details the narrator has revealed for Pokemon + Nobunaga’s Ambition. Still, in this particular case, the gameplay speaks for itself, and those who plan on getting the title regardless of whether or not it’s localized should enjoy it.
The highlight of the trailer (other than the spring platforms that launch Pokemon throughout the stage) is the confirmation that Pokemon can and will evolve during battle. The roster of usable Pokemon could also potentially be quite elaborate, as the trailer is indeed hinting at. Odds are that every Pocket Monster revealed to-date will be included in this DS crossover, but Pokemon enthusiasts shouldn’t bank on that presumption quite yet.
How interested are you in Pokemon + Nobunaga’s Ambition? Do you think Nintendo will release the game outside Japan?

I honestly can’t wait for this game. Being a huge fan of the Samurai Warriors series and Pokémon Master myself, I can’t wait at all. This seems to be a new and intriguing twist on the Pokémon franchise and it will be interesting to see the fan feedback and play it myself.
I can’t wait until this game comes out in America! I hope it comes with the same card because it’s a really, really good card.
I wonder if they will release a game based off of Reburst, it’s the most bizarre pokemon manga to come out so far.
It seems like this would have been how Nobunaga’s Ambition would have played out, if Pokemon existed. Well, like all Pokemon and Warriors games, I’ll give it a go if it comes out in the US.
Since it seems to be a strategy platformer, I will most definitely buy it, since that is my favorite platform.
this looks amazing, i think instead of pokemon: mystery dungeon (one of my favorite games EVER) this will be 5′th gens pokemon strategy-ish game, and it looks amazing
I really doubt this comes to america. Sad but true. But if it does, it better come with that card.
This is going to be a great Pokemon game. Along with Nobunaga’s Ambition.
Wait wait wait… hold up. did anyone else see a Shiny Rayquaza card?
I am in America and i think it came here it would do great im excited about it and i think as well as Pokemon does in america the game would do great in America i hope it comes. That card ahould be included also!!
looks like pokemon mixed with fire emblem, cant wait!
