| A New, Bizarre Pokemon Crossover is Coming to DS in 2012 Posted: 17 Dec 2011 02:45 AM PST A new Pokemon game of sorts has been announced, and it’s not at all what you might guess. Rather than starring in a new JRPG, beat ‘em up, or something else that could be classified as “expected,” Pokemon is being crossed over with Tecmo Koei series Nobunaga’s Ambition. The game’s name isn’t especially imaginative; it appears to be called Pokemon + Nobunaga’s Ambition based on early images and what little information we have so far. It was announced at the Jump Festa expo taking place this weekend in Japan and will see characters from both franchises joining together. Nobunaga’s Ambition may not be a name you’re particularly familiar with, but that’s not because it’s especially new or insignificant. In fact, it’s one of Koei’s oldest franchises, with the original game being released in 1983. Since then there have been more than a dozen games released for a variety of platforms, covering everything from MSX and NES up to PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The games themselves are strategy RPGs set in Japan’s Sengoku period. We don’t know a whole lot about the game at this point beyond the fact that it’s coming to DS sometime in 2012. We’ll report back as we learn more concrete information.

And of course the in-game storyline where the hero becomes affected by the Soulstone and becomes Diablo… Oh wait, wrong game. Ok, I know you are wondering where the heck is our arrow hero, Kai, I am guessing he will be added in Part 2 of the update. Stay tuned!

| CD Projekt demands €millions from pirates Posted: 17 Dec 2011 02:45 AM PST Polish developer CD Projekt has demanded a €911.80 (£765.06) settlement fee from thousands of German BitTorrent users. The claim comes in the wake of the widespread piracy of The Witcher 2, which was released in May and widely publicised to be DRM-free, and has caused controversy in the community as many of those being slapped with the fee claim not to have done anything wrong. But CD Projekt stands its ground on the matter: "We're addressing only 100% confirmed piracy causes that are 100% possible to prove," said Michal Nowakowski, CD Projekt's VP of Business Development in a recent statement, "We are not worried about tracking the wrong people. As this is the trade secret of the company working on this, I cannot share it." It's clear, whatever the truth is, that CD Projekt has been wronged, although its methods of seeking reparations are questionable. There's every chance too, that by actively pursuing pirates in this way, CD Projekt might make any potential pirates in other countries think twice about disseminating illegal copies of The Witcher 2 and other CD Projekt games. The Witcher 2 PC sold more than 1 million copies, while CD Projekt CEO Marcin Iwinski estimated recently that over 4.5 million copies of The Witcher 2 had been downloaded illegally since the game launched.

| XSEED Bringing the Canvas Curse-Like Sumioni to Vita This Spring Posted: 16 Dec 2011 02:45 PM PST As if there weren’t already enough fun-looking Vita games to keep on your radar, XSEED Games has announced plans to bring Sumioni: Demon Arts to North America this spring. Sumioni looks a lot like an evolved take on Kirby: Canvas Curse, one of the first DS games to really catch on because of its use of the system’s touchscreen. Sumioni likewise takes advantage of not just Vita’s touchscreen, but its rear touchpad, too. You play as an ink demon (that being the literal translation of Sumioni from Japanese to English) in this platformer where you’re able to draw on the screen to create platforms for your character to use. You still control the character yourself and can draw more than just platforms, including brushstrokes that set objects or enemies on fire, cause lighting to strike, or summon allies. The rear touchpad comes into play as you run out of ink; drawing consumes your ink which is recharged by rubbing the touchpad. There are 30 stages in all and multiple endings to be discovered. The game is being developed by Acquire, the Japanese developer responsible for Tenchu, Way of the Samurai, and both What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord? games. XSEED previously published Acquire’s Wizardy: Labyrinth of Lost Souls in North America; it has also brought a wide variety of Japanese titles to the west including Retro Game Challenge, Little King’s Story, and Half-Minute Hero. Sumioni will be available on Vita sometime during spring 2012 in North America. Vita itself is set to go on sale here and in Europe on February 22.
