Really random series to do a crossover with pokémon, Nobunaga’s ambition is more underground than diglett, WELL outside of japan that is, seriously if they wanted to do a crossover, why not with another more recognizable franchise like dragon quest, final fantasy or digimon?

I actually like how this game is looking. Let’s just hope it comes out in the U.S.A.

And…. is Kenshin giving us the middle finger? 0-o (Look at his pic closely.)

In reply to swoobat19. No it wasn't the time donkey. The samurai/ninja guy made a wish for a boss psychic type, and Jirachi sent Celebi to fetch Mewtwo during his "who am I" emo period.

Ahh… I know I already left a comment, but I was a little more “stunned” then than I am now, so it was pretty insubstantial. And now that I’ve gotten over the surprise of seeing a game completely new for the Pokemon franchise, I have the following statement: this game is bad news. Seriously. It’s bad news for us, the players in the West, because unless we can read/speak Japanese (yeah yeah, gloat all you want, PJ) chances are we’ll never play this game over here. I mean, Japanese feudal society fantasy games are probably a lot more interesting to Japanese players than to American players who probably don’t know the first thing about feudal society or why it might be intriguing. The Nobunaga’s Ambition series is also largely Japan-exclusive already, so there’s that. But ignoring the fact that this game has a low chance of being localized in the US, the other issue I see with it is that it’s not innovative. Well, I take that back; it’s certainly innovative. It’s definitely something new, and an ambitious new approach to an ambitious new setting, and I just realized that the game has “Ambition” in the title and that was a sentence full of puns, so I apologize. But I don’t think it’s innovative enough, and before you harp on me for being too critical, I want you to consider for a moment what this game represents. Quite frankly, it represents a bit of a dead end to me. Feel free to disagree, but it seems like Nintendo is just beating around the bush at this point, taking longer and longer and building up more and more unspoken dramatic tension before they reveal Gray or R/S remakes or whatever new thing they’ll show that ends in “Version.” The longer we have to wait before Nintendo shows us their next main series installment, the more I worry that it’s not going to live up to the endless hype, and the more elaborate the spinoff games in the meanwhile become (this game being about the apex of elaborate spinoff games) the more distressed I am that the company is winging it behind the curtain. But maybe I’m just paranoid.

In reply to roy_vos.

English isn’t a strong suit of yours, is it?

1) All we have right now are a few screen shots and a trailer. There is no way to know yet if it will be good or bad.
2) The game is centered around using Pokemon to reach your goal, therefore it is a Pokemon game.

OMG!!!! Epical spasm engage…!
Nintendo, game freak, creatures inc working with koie… could it get any better…?
Haven’t watched the trailer yet (seeing as it is like 21:30 in the UK and I am on my 3DS, but from the main picture and the screenshots… I’m both excited & curious as to how this will work out!
As to all the people who wanted another MD, third game or remake… tough break: seems like Nintendo are trying to branch out a bit but dont worry only another few months on details of another game (movie 16… im lookin at you)

I’m actually excited for this game. This is actually an original new concept for a Pokemon game. A little more serious one too.

Huh, wasn’t expecting this at all, honestly it seemed kind of weird at first, but I’m legitimately excited now. I think this is just what the series needs, something to set it apart and this seems to be it. I like how the legendarys are divided up between the “warlords” or people. I hope this will make it to America. But I’m not getting my hopes up yet.

Not usually into the spinoff type games when it comes to Pokemon, but I’m actually totally interested in this game now. I cant wait to see how it plays! This is exactly the kind of spinoff Pokemon needed, if you ask me.
