Pokemon Mystery Dungeon has always been a fan favourite sub-series in the Pokemon- genre, shall we say, coz it’s that big now- and we all curiously await the release of the next one. The 3DS Mystery Dungeon game is no different- it was released in Japan last month, and we in the West have been waiting for word of its arrival for a long time now.

Well, we just got it. Nintendo has officially announced that the game will hit retail and the 3DS eShop in the US on March 24, meaning it’s party time for all Pokefans.

“Become one of five popular Pokémon from the fan-favorite franchise – Pikachu, Snivy, Oshawott, Tepig or Axew – and journey through infinite dungeons, battle and befriend other Pokémon, collect treasures and explore the game’s vast, beautiful world,” reads the game’s blurb for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates To Infinity.

Well, this is really good news, because the game looks excellent. A short video (it’s Japanese) is provided above to give you a taste of what the game’s like.
