User blog:J. Severe/"Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition" Comes to America as "Pokémon Conquest" for DS

Most of you probably don't know about this, but in the middle of last month, this spin-off Pokémon game called Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition was released in Japan. Serving as a crossover between Pokémon and... well, Nobunaga's Ambition, the game basically allowed you to control a ruler from Japan's history and use an army of Pokémons to take over entire kingdoms.

Since Nobunaga's Ambition has never been a big series in North America, and you - yes you, I know where you live - have likely never heard of it, most doubted it would ever come stateside. Well, Nintendo today announced that it would, under the name Pokémon Conquest, with all traces of Nobunaga's Ambition gone from the game's title and accompanying press release.

The game is set to street June 18th, the same month Pokémon Black Version 2 and White Version 2 hit stores in Japan. And yes, this is for regular DS, not for 3DS.
