Titanfall 2

For as brilliant as its multiplayer was at launch, Titanfall had some major issues with balance, content and post-launch support. The throwaway “story” didn’t help either and despite a positive critical reception, player numbers dropped off, leaving doubts as to whether Respawn would revisit the franchise. But not only did Titanfall 2 happen – even with how disagreeable some of the multiplayer changes were – it had an incredible campaign that stands as one of the best in the genre. Sadly, its sales and player count dipped even quicker and the series is more or less AWOL.

The game will be released for the DS sometime later this year. This is a short animated promotional trailer for the game, which really looks pleasant. This trailer was released in Japan yesterday. There are plenty of action scenes here and the trailer is 4 minutes and 50 seconds long.

The trailer is 1 minute long and full of win, so check it out.

Here are seven things we want to see in Black/White 2, seven things that might just make the upcoming sequel a game worthy of the franchise’s name and worthy of the predecessor.

Enjoy, and leave behind your feedback in the comments section below.

Proper continuity

Being a direct sequel to Black and White, there obviously will be continuity here. But how well Game Freak manages that will also be very important in deciding the fate of the game. Will we see more of Team Galactic? Will we have to collect all 8 gym badges again? What’s gonna happen to N (more on this later)? There are just so many plot threads that need to be continued in Black/White 2, plot threads that will not only affect the story progression, but how the game plays out. Let’s hope Game Freak gets it right.

More cinematic

Pokemon Black and White had sweeping camera angles, awesome bridges and cities to show off from impressive angles, some great cutscenes- and not just by Pokemon standards-, and other things we would never had imagined to see in a Pokemon game before. With Black and White, Game Freak proved that they are ready to experiment. We’re hoping we see more of the cutscenes and the new, awesome camera angles Black and White 2 as we did in 2010.

HeartGold/SoulSilver UI

We loved Pokemon Black and White, but we will never understand why Game Freak removed the awesome touch screen interface that was incorporated in HeartGold/SoulSilver. The interface of HG/SS was awesome- one touch, and you could do all the fundamental stuff that was required in a Pokemon game- no using buttons and long winded menus. Everything was clean and crisp, and HG/SS were perhaps the first and only Pokemon games to make good use of the touch screen. We want Black/White 2 to see the return of the same interface- we don’t care if Game Freak changes it at all, because it was perfect as it was. Just bring it back.

A new Pokemon related announcement is headed our way and it will supposedly be revealing some pretty important info. It’s got something to do with the recently announced Pokemon Black 2 and White 2.

The info will be revealed via the next episode of Pokemon Smash, which will air on April 8. Maybe we’ll get some insight into the story of the game and how it ties in with the original  Black and White. They certainly ended on a cliffhanger, but this is the first time the Pokemon franchise is getting a direct sequel, so it should be interesting to see how Game Freak handles things.

You can watch the latest trailer for Pokemon B/W 2 here. The release dates for different regions have also been announced- get more info here.

Stay tuned for more info.

Nintendo has released the official Japanese box arts for their upcoming Pokemon Black and White 2. The boxes feature the two different forms of the new Dragon/Ice type legendary Pokemon, Kyurem. The White version features the white Kyurem and the Black version features the black Kyuren.

After the shocking announcement of Pokemon Black and White 2 yesterday, Nintendo has announced western release dates for the DS sequels.

Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 will be coming out in Europe this spring and North America this fall. It’s previously been announced that it’s releasing in Japan this June. This makes this the first canonical Pokemon game to get a release in all regions in the same year.

There aren’t many details on the game yet, but we suspect Nintendo will be making some announcements soon. So stay tuned to GB, we’ll keep you updated.

Earlier we reported that there was going to be a very important Pokemon announcement soon. We finally have the confirmation that it is indeed a direct sequel to a mainline Pokemon game: Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. This is the first time there’s been a direct, numbered sequel in the canonical Pokemon series.

Reports all over the internet say that the Pokemon Black/White sub-series is a trilogy, so there- we already know there’s proabably gonna be a Pokemon Black and White 3 soon. Maybe that’ll be on the 3DS. We don’t have a confirmation on this yet, but we’ll keep you updated.

It was revealed via Pokemon Smash TV show. The images we have shows two new forms of Kyurem. The game will be released for Nintendo DS, and not 3DS, which is a little surprising.

The game will be released in Japan in June, and we don’t have the specific release dates for NA and EU yet.

There’s also a new teaser site up, which you can check out over here.
