The release of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are just over two weeks away in the land of the rising sun and Nintendo are ramping up their marketing efforts, releasing a brand new three and a half minute video showcasing everything from story elements and Mega Evolutions to secret bases and super contests. We finally get a glimpse of what diving will look like in the game as well as some other strange features such as a Pikachu’s tail sticking up in the middle of some wild grass, which at the moment we are guessing just means you can go up to it and battle it without ‘stepping’ on it. For those that like filling their secret bases with dolls, you will be happy to know it looks like a huge variety of stuffed dolls will be coming back for you to place in your secret base.

The official release date in Australia and for most of the world is November 21st. Those that preorder the game at EB Games and other select vendors will receive a mini figure of either Groudon or Kyogre depending on the version they choose.

You can view the Australian preorder bonus figures in the images below as well as the brand new trailer.

Europe, I’ve got some bad news for ya. Today Atlus USA revealed over Twitter that the release date for Shin Megami Tensei IV has been pushed back from September to sometime in late October. Josh Hardin, the company’s PR manager had this to say about the delay:

After some unscheduled changes to the SMTIV mobile website raised some eyebrows, a lot of you asked for more details, so I’ll be upfront. We encountered a few last-minute issues specific to the EU version, and we have to fix them. Given the current timelines for production, it looks like SMTIV won’t be out in EU until late October.

At least once Shin Megami Tensei IV finally is released in Europe, it will be sold at the discounted price of €19.99 / £17.99.
