-

February 14, 2013

Nintendo has just announced a release date for the newest addition to the Pokemon franchise. The game, called Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, will be released on May 17^th for the Australian and European audience. Mystery Dungeon is an exclusive for the 3DS and will add building a paradise for your Pokemon to frolic in as key mechanic.

Extending on the already vibrant Pokemon universe could be a great opportunity for Nintendo to flex their muscles and show us what they do best: create great gaming experiences. What do you think, do you want to build a world for your Pokemon to play in or will this be a piece of bloat-ware worthy of the scorn that was heaped on Pokemon Snap?

Nintendo has gone into some new depth about what mechanics we can expect to see from Luigi’s Mansion 2 as a part of the ‘Year of Luigi’ initiative. The game will show case a massive extension of capabilities from the first title.

The 3DS exclusive will feature two torch modes, the usual light that can be used to deter ghosts and a dark mode that works as a black light. The Poltergust makes a return with an extended capacity to interact with the world around you. It can pick up objects, be used in more complicated ways in battle. Stunning ghosts and reeling them in like fish will add new complexity to Luigi’s Mansion.

It will also have an expanded use in puzzle solving such as filling balloons to float to safety. Capturing ghosts won’t be as easy as before, they can block lights with objects such as shovels and sunglasses. The ghosts can also posses objects to attack and haunt you with. A new character, a ghost dog with a love of gold, has been introduced to the franchise.

It will be released on the Nintendo 3DS eShop on March 28th, with a demo coming very shortly before that on March 14th. HarmoKnight was released in Japan on September 5th of 2012. The game will include a nod to the franchise that established the developers, with Pokemon themes being featured in the game, as well as a Pokemon-inspired background.

The gameplay has you hitting musical notes and enemies on a beat which in turn adds to the music of the level. It’s a simple system utilising the A and B buttons to hit and jump respectively. For future coverage of HarmoKnight, stay tuned to Capsule Computers.
