Pok�mon + Nobunaga's Ambition

Online retailer Amazon has posted higher resolution box-art for the upcoming game; Pok�mon + Nobunaga's Ambition. This boxart confirms something we thought we saw on the smaller box art, that the game is DSi Enhanced. All games come with a specific product code which dictates the game and the system it runs off of. Normal DS games have NTR, 3DS games have CTR but DSi enhanced games, including Black & White, have the code TWL. Pok�mon + Nobunaga's Ambition's code features TWL. It is currently unknown whether or not this means the game is region locked, as many DSi Enhanced games are or if the game utilised the special DSi features including more RAM, WPA online compatibility and the camera.

You also have the ability to battle with friends across the Nintendo WiFi Connection and wireless play.

Pok�mon Dragon Selection

The official site has posted, revealing the first Dragon-type cards. These cards are to be the first new cards to have a new type since Darkness and Metal were introduced in 1999. This new type is set to be implemented within the games in the new "Dragon Selection" set due for release in Japan on January 27th as part of a celebration for the Year of the Dragon. The cards, like the Dragon-types in the game, have a weakness to themselves and appear to require other energy cards to function. We'll bring more on this set as it comes and when it is released
