We were doubtful it would ever happen - but it seems the Japanese gaming gods have smiled down on us stateside gamers once more. No, no news on Pandora's Tower - but we did find out today that the Japanese strategy RPG crossover Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition will be coming to the U.S. as Pokemon Conquest.
The game is an insane/insanely awesome crossover between the popular Pokemon series and Tecmo Koei's strategy series, Nobunaga's Ambition. It will feature turn-based, six-on-six battles utilizing Pokemon type strengths and weaknesses, and the world will be split into 17 kingdoms, each home to a famous Nobunaga's Ambition general and their Pokemon companion. Below you'll find the first U.S. trailers and screenshots for this title, which will hit store shelves on June 18. Take a look, and imagine the possibilities...
And now for a few screenshots...
What do you think? Are you excited for this Pokemon mash-up? Are you going to take over the world with your Mewtwo this June? Let us know in the comments below. Also, be sure to check out the rest of the screenshots in the Pokemon Conquest image gallery - and keep it here on IGN for all the latest Pokemon news.
