New Super Mario Bros. 2, Pokemon Black/White 2 Each Cross Three Million Units Worldwide

Nintendo has been speaking out quite vocally in its first half earnings report for the ongoing fiscal year. During the same, they announced that the Wii U would be selling for a loss, but they also unveiled something interesting: Namely, the worldwide sales figures of both New Super Marios Bros 2 and Pokemon Black/White 2. Is there any doubt that both titles would become such great successes – especially Pokemon?

So far, Mario’s latest escapade, that had Penelope Cruz engaging in all too surreal commercial, has sold 3.25 million copies. This includes download sales, of course. Japanese sales are about 1.31 million, while overseas the 3DS platformer has sold 1.95 million copies.

On the other hand, Pokémon Black/White 2’s sales figures are about 4.26 million units worldwide with Japanese sales at 2.84 million copies and overseas tallying 1.42 million copies. The game has been out longer in Japan, of course, which explains the higher sales figures.

Hence, honestly, when Nintendo says their new console will be selling for a loss, does anyone really doubt they’d be able to compensate?

Consumers to get a free Pokemon upon purchase of Black 2/White 2

Shubhankar Parijat — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:52:20 +0000

Fans who purchase the upcoming Pokemon Black and White 2 between October 12, which ius when the game releases, and November 12, will get a free Pokemon called Genesect via Nintendo WFC.

Now what the hell is this Genesect thingie?

It’s a new legendary, bug/steel type Pokemon, and it’s got this special attack called Techno Blast. Team Plasma recovered it from a 300 year old fossil and modified it, which is how it got that special attack. Supposedly, Genesect is the only Pokemon to have this attack in its arsenal.

Sounds pretty good to me. I was going to buy it anyway.

The Unova region of Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 has undergone many changes, and new additions can be found in both Black City and White Forest. White Treehollow is found in the White Forest ofPokémon White Version 2, while Black Tower is now a part of the Black City found in Pokémon Black Version 2, and both locations offer advanced players challenging new obstacles to overcome. At both sites, players can do battle with high-level Pokémon to earn Exp. Points and items. The layouts of the White Treehollow and Black Tower are randomly generated, creating a unique experience that will challenge players to solve their maze-like construction and defeat the Trainers that stand in their way again and again.

Japan Charts: 3DS on top, Pokemon Black/White 2 maintains the lead

We have the latest Media Crea… oh wait, these are Famitsu sales. It’s the same thing, though. The pattern is similar like the past weeks with 3DS on top followed by PS3 and Vita. On the software side, Pokemon Black/White 2 takes the pole position followed by Etrian Odyssey IV and Little Battler eXperience Baku Boost.

The 3DS sold 51,930 units followed by the PS3 with 14,297 units. Vita is back in the 10,000 range after selling 24,000 units last week, due to a new colour and other factors like software. The PSP got a slight boost with 10,000 units sold and is holding that range steadily.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Anarchy Reigns sold 20,000 units respectively, and the publishers should be pleased with that performance. Check out the hardware and software sales below.

First Pokemon Black/White 2 trailer is here

Shubhankar Parijat — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 21:03:20 +0000

As we reported earlier, the first Pokemon Black/White 2 footage is here. The trailer gives you a glimpse of the gameplay and the places you will be visiting. It shows battle scenes, a few gym scenes, introduces us to the characters, gives us a glimpse of the fancy camera angles, akin to the ones we saw in the original Black/White, and more.

You should have a look above.

The trailer also confirms that Pokemon Black/White 2 will be releasing for the DS on June 23 in Japan.

New details for Black/White 2 were recently released. Check them out here.

7 Things We Want To See In Pokemon Black/White 2

Shubhankar Parijat — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 18:00:19 +0000

Going largely against tradition and becoming the first numbered, direct sequel in the history of the franchise, Pokemon Black/White 2 are surely looking like they’ll change the shape of things and give us a look at the future of the franchise. It’s a new territory for developers Game Freak- they’re not going to have a clean slate to work with, a fresh start. Being the direct sequel to the incredible Black/White, there’s a lot they have to keep in mind, a lot they need to live up to.

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.

New Pokemon Black/White 2 info coming soon

Shubhankar Parijat — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 22:12:10 +0000

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.
