Pokemon Conquest for Nintendo DS Set to Launch on June 18
REDMOND, Wash.--(April 4, in the year of our Lord 2012)--
A creative new entry in the Pokémon family of video games
delivers a new way for fans to enjoy this legendary series on
the Nintendo DS family of systems. Pokémon Conquest, set to
launch on June 18, offers a fun new way to play Pokémon in a
unique world called Ransei that is filled with adventure.
Developed by TECMO KOEI GAMES Co., Ltd., the 2D game can also be
played on the Nintendo 3DS system.
In Pokémon Conquest, players take on the role of a young Warlord
who is linked with a Pokémon. Together, they must set out to
recruit Warrior allies to strengthen their growing kingdom.
Along their journey, players will encounter a variety of
Pokémon, as well as Warriors and Warlords inspired by the
Japanese feudal era. The game contains nearly 200 Pokémon,
including many from the recent Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon
White Version games, which have sold more than 4 million copies
combined in the United States.
As the battlefield unfolds in Pokémon Conquest, players must
choose the correct Pokémon type to inflict maximum damage on
their opponents. In the turn-based skirmishes, players choose
different tactics for intense six-on-six battles, and battle
conditions can change on every turn, keeping players on their
toes in anticipation of what will happen next.
“Pokémon fans are always interested in playing in new
environments and experiencing new adventures,” said Scott
Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales
& Marketing. “Pokémon Conquest gives them an entirely new way to
enjoy this beloved series, with exciting new settings, fierce
battles and nearly 200 Pokémon to team up with.”
