It’s worth bearing in mind that this is the American line-up, so don’t be confused when some titles release a little earlier or later than is slated in this list over here in Europe. It’s also worth noting that Pokémon Conquest still hasn’t been confirmed for a European release, Rhythm Thief released over here a few months back, and Heroes of Ruin has been delayed in America.

All in all, though, not a bad line-up for the 3DS this year, with the exception of Ubisoft’s Petz and Imagine games after its phenomal support for the Wii U thus far.

News: Pokémon Dream Radar and Pokédex 3D Pro to Launch Alongside Black & White 2

by

Revealed during the latest Nintendo Direct presentation as Pokémon AR Searcher, Pokémon Dream Radar (as it’s now known as) and its companion Pokédex 3D Pro have been confirmed to be releasing via the Nintendo eShop this Autumn, to complement the upcoming DS games Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.

Whereas the original Pokédex application provided information for Pokémon exclusive to Black and White, Pokédex 3D Pro will contain similar information, yet for every single Pokémon to have appeared in the series.

The Dream Radar meanwhile, is said to be similar to Face Raiders in that it uses Augmented Reailty to put Pokémon in your living room, where you can then catch them and send them over to your copy of Black or White Version 2.

Do you think the connectivity between the two 3DS applications and the DS game will make Black and White 2 more enjoyable?
