Yes, that's a factual headline above: Nintendo is publishing the bizarre crossover of
Pokemon Plus Nobunaga's Ambition in the US as "Pokemon Conquest" for the Nintendo DS. And yes, you also read that right --
Pokemon Conquest marks the second Pokemon game heading to the DS in 2012 rather than the 3DS (
Pokemon Black/White Version 2 being the other).
Unlike main series Pokemon games, Tecmo Koei handled development rather than Game Freak.
Conquest is also a 2D adventure set in the world of Ransei, where players inhabit "a young warlord who is linked with a Pokemon."
Pokemon Conquest arrives on June 18.
