Two New Pokémon eShop Games Announced

Hey boys and girls, Atzunew here talking to you about some new eShop games that were announced on the latest Nintendo Direct. We have learned of two new titles that will be hitting the eShop in Japan this summer: Pokémon AR Searcher and Pokédex 3D Pro. Both these games have a confirmed release for Europe for this year. No details on a North American launch, but we can assume that we will get these games here at the same time or soon after.

Let's start with some details on Pokémon AR Searcher. As the title suggests it is an augmented reality game where players use real life environments to their advantage. In this game you will search around your area for Pokémon and somehow capture them. I say capture because of the feature where players can send their Pokémon from this game to their copy of Black 2 or White 2. This game will be on sale in Japan on June 23rd for 300 Yen.

Next up is Pokédex 3D Pro. This downloadable game will no doubt be similar to the original Pokédex 3D. It will contain Unova region Pokémon as well as Pokémon from other regions. No word on whether they will only be the Pokémon in the new Unova 'dex or if it will be a full National Dex.  Also, this game is supposed to fully replace the orignal Pokédex 3D, therefore there will only be one icon, not two on the home menu. On July 14th fans can pick up this game for 1,500 Yen.

If you're interested in listening to Japanese, here is a video of these two new eShop games as shown on Nintendo Direct. Want even more Nintendo news, check out the recent announcement of New Super Mario Bros. 2 and the new 3DS firmware update.
