Very late
getting this post out but some things came up which could not be helped. So the
Pokemon Direct happened on Friday and it was a bit of anti-climactic in my book
concerning the announcement.
So Pokemon
Moon & Sun are real, its 100% happening so the leak was true and this is
great. But we saw nothing really at all about the games from the trailer that
was aired, it was nice seeing some old memories but only getting a few seconds
of concept art was the wrong way to go.
Concept Art Shown In The Trailer
Only real
thing we know is this is a new generation thanks to how they showed it off in
the trailer. They went through all the generations and years released then
announced Moon and Sun for this year.
Guess we
going to have to wait and see what CoroCoro shows off and probably the E3
Nintendo Direct. Concept art looks good; well what bits they did show anyway.
Really hoping the graphics are getting closer to a full console release because
we need that to happen.

That’s it
for now, what was your thoughts on the direct? Needed more? Happy about a new
generation? Drop a comment.
So tomorrow
is the 20th anniversary for Pokemon and I feel very old when I say
that. Cannot believe it was that long ago, I remember watching the show before
it became popular and the games hit the store. I remember importing most of the
Pokemon games so I could get them months in advance. Trying to find Mew under
the lorry in Pokemon Red, the Pikablu rumour and so much more.
To
celebrate the anniversary there is a lot happening tomorrow, twitch streams and
new products throughout. Several stores across multiple countries are giving out codes for Mew in Pokemon X/Y/OR/AS. The biggest thing is that Pokemon Red/Blue and Yellow
will be on the 3DS virtual console tomorrow to download. Really cannot wait to
replay them but I’m still stuck on which one to get though. Thinking Red at the
moment since that was the very first Pokemon game I ever bought.
Anyway the
main for this post is the lastest announcement and rumour that happened last
night.
So Nintendo
have confirmed that today at 3pm GMT there will be a Nintendo Direct for five
minutes concerning Pokemon. I’ve been thinking for a while it would be the
announcement of the next generation of games since the latest movie has a new
Pokemon not part of this generations list.
Well yesterday a lot of domain names
got registered by Nintendo for Pokemon Sun & Moon. Plus, we have logos
trade marked as well, fingers crossed we going to see a new game announcement
this afternoon. If this is a hoax then its a really good one because those logos look amazing.
I will be doing
another blog post later this afternoon with the outcome of the Nintendo Direct. But for now here is a Mew Picross code for Europe thanks to
the Nintendo Europe twitter account. Also here is the link for the Direct later on.
Hello all,
Happy Valentines everyone! hope you all having a great romantic day with your love ones or spending a great night with your favourite game. Thought it was about time I posted up an update with what's been happening which is not a lot to be honest. It's been one of those weeks where I was too busy to do anything really, in fact the only gaming I have been doing is keeping my Simpson's Tapped Out up to date and doing the quick Love is in the Air dungeon for Warcraft.
Made up for it today though with two more levels completed on Veteran for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 PS3 (current rental) and did one of the quest story missions on Saints Row the Third PS3. This weekend I will be playing some more multiplayer again with COD Black Ops 2 and Battlefield 3, been really getting into those two games and I probably will be picking up the season pass for Black Ops at this rate. Anyway my goal for this weekend since there is really not much left of the week, is to finish my rental which would be my tenth game for my challenge. Now I would jump for joy since that would give me a credit so I could buy Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires next week, but well...yeah I caved again on Monday. Hitman HD Collection for the PlayStation 3 was only £15 which is amazing price so I put a order down, plus three platinum trophies! how could I say no.
Also that reminds me I'm counting the game as one credit to purchase but it will be worth three games for completing since they all full games, well except the Xbox one since Blood Money I've already done on it so two for that version. Back to topic anyway so I'm currently minus again for my challenge so I need to finish one more game to cover the purchase then clock two more for next week, who's bright idea was it for this challenge? Just thinking after that is the March line up with at least four to six games at least.
Anyway that's a depressing thought and let's talk about something more fun, well let's start with next week with lots of announcements about to happen. Got Bungie on Sunday with their new game Destiny which could be awesome if the rumours are true, then on Wednesday with got Sony announcing something which everyone is banking on the next console. So it's going to be an interesting week, in fact Wednesday is jam packed since Assassin's Creed 3 is launching the first DLC episode and I've got the Gears of War Judgement lock-in if I can sort out getting their and back. It's going to be awesome next week and I've just realise there was a Nintendo Direct today with 3DS/Wii U games so I really should go sit and watch that. In fact I will do that now before I end this post and then I can add my thought's.
Got to love the Luigi hat at the start, I want one of those when I'm playing on my 3DS. Got to say the Luigi mansion 2 does look but it's not up my street, OK readers check out the video above for the full thing I'm only going to talk about games I'm interested in, sorry but the blog is about my gaming adventures lol.
Damn March 22nd for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, I'm still not picking up a Wii U yet but I am tempted for the 3DS version. Nearly had an heart attack when the video showed off the consoles bundles, my first thought was "OMG! Limited Edition consoles". Thank god they are just normal consoles bundled with a copy of the game, bit disappointed they not doing some kind of special console with Monster Hunter artwork but then at the same relieved since I would not able to afford them.
So they will be releasing the circle pad extension for the XL finally, might be tempted if I do get the game since I would play it on my Pikachu XL. Although I did get the circle pad cheap for the 3DS and I've still got my Toad console, would save me some more money but the bigger screen would be better. Very tough decisions that one and oh damn that looks awesome, the part for connecting the 3DS and Wii U just came up. It looks awesome on the big screen with the Wii U version, stop tempting me Nintendo! although the footage on the 3DS xl looks awesome as well. Ah sweet a demo is coming next week, just another thing to add to the list of things to do next week.
Well personally I was hoping to hold off getting it straight away but I can tell it probably will be a day one purchase with how good it looks. Ohhh April 19th for Fire Emblem, I've heard so many good things about this game and all my American friends have pretty much sold it to me. Against this was another game I was hoping to hold off on when I first heard of it but over the past few weeks it's been crazy how many good things I've heard about it.
Oh bugger! Fire Emblem special edition XL is coming to Europe, should had known when he said he was sorry for the huge delay. Hmmm do I want it is the question and it's the month after all the huge line up, plus I'm sure there is quite a few games hitting in April as well. I swear the Gaming Gods don't like me right now since they trying to bankrupt me. Whoa hang on the original special edition was a normal 3DS, we getting an XL?? took me a minute to realise that. Not sure what to think now since I've just looked it up on google and it seems to be missing the edge corner artwork but in it's favour is the matt finish which I prefer over the shiny finish which all the normal 3DS come as. Although sometimes it does look good and can be pulled off, think I really need to see a version and not a picture. OK I just pressed play again and he's showing one off in his hands, it looks a lot darker then the picture and hard to tell the image. Wow the cut scene animations look beautiful for the game and the game play is nicely done. Free DLC as well so I'm pretty much sold on this, although I was already pretty much sold before even watching the video. Not sure on the console though now after seeing more of it, see what happens over the next few weeks and which stores will be supplying it.
Blimey I forgot there was a Etrian Odyssey coming out for the 3DS, now I did play the DS one since it was quite cheap in the Pre-Owned section once. It was an unique game where you basically explored a giant labyrinth, I did not get too much into it since well I have a lot of stuff to play but it was a good game from what I saw. This could be interesting but it depends when they release it since it's listed for Spring. Same goes for Project X Zone from Namco, tactical RPG is usually up my street but I'm normally not a fan of crossover games because well, the story usually sucks. Will be adding both of these games anyway to the watch list and in fact I could do with a blog page for this list because no doubt I will forget them.
Wait wait wait! the Zelda concerts was held in 2011? it's been nearly two years? are you serious I thought that was last year, dang I'm losing track of time. Sorry I know that was a bit random but it was kinda shocking when he said how good it was in 2011, I really did not think it was that long ago. Anyway back to talking about the games and I see they finally releasing the next Mystery Dungeon in the Pokemon series. Never finished one of these yet and I don't think I picked up the last one as well, hmm I like the new AR system but not sure if I will be picking up. If I'm not going to play it like the rest then I'm just wasting my money, but I have until May at least to think about it.
Ohh a new Mario vs Donkey Kong, I love these games since they remind me a lot of Lemmings back in the day. Ah it will be a download title so that's put me off slightly since I've not been a fan of Nintendo with their digital section, mostly with the lack of being able to recover stuff if the console goes faulty or getting a new one. I've heard they have improved but still weary about it, will have to see when it comes out anyway. Anyway that it's for me and Nintendo Direct for the day, plus the end of this post as well. Sorry it's been a huge long post of really random stuff but oh well.
So have a good one folks and I will catch up with you all soon,
