Pokemon Black/White 2 coming to Europe this Fall
One day after announcing that Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 will be available this June for Japanese audiences, Nintendo has revealed it’ll be released this Fall in Europe. That means only three to six months will pass between the Japanese and western releases of the DS game, a new record for a Pokemon title.
I’m sure Nintendo will announce a similar American release window for Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 later today.

Nintendo runs out of colors, announces Pokemon Black 2/White 2
I guess Nintendo finally ran out of colors as they announced the development of Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 today. The monochromatic sequels will be available for the DS in Japan in June.
Black 2/White 2 will be the first direct sequels in Pokemon’s fifteen history. Usually, Nintendo follows up the previous year’s pair of Pokemon games with a third title as a companion game (Red/Blue and Yellow, Gold/Silver and Crystal, Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald, etc.).
A North American release wasn’t announced, but this is Pokemon, of course there’ll be one. Typically, the American release lags six to eight months behind the Japanese one. So Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 should cross the Pacific in early 2013.

With Sony’s Vita launch behind us, the rest of the video game world closes out February with a few big releases:
- EA’s SSX returns on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
- Sega’s Yakuza Studio tries their hand at tech noir with Binary Domain (PS3, Xbox 360)
- Atlus releases another hardcore Japanese RPG. This time it’s Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 for the DS.
- Speaking of hardcore Japanese RPGs, NIS America plans to release Hyperdimension Neptunia MK-2 for the PS3.
- But on the lighter side of things, there’s PokePark 2: Wonders Beyond for the Wii.
- And on the even lighter side of things, NetherRealm has compiled the Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

New Amazing Spider-Man trailer reveals Rhino, June 26 release date
When you think of Spider-Man’s greatest villains, The Rhino is not usually a name that comes to mind. So naturally, developer Beenox gave him the Bane treatment in their game adaptation of The Amazing Spider-Man.
In addition to a very menacing Rhino and a creepy soundtrack, the new trailer above also reveals that The Amazing Spider-Man will be available in stores on June 26 for the 3DS, DS, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360.
Young Justice: Legacy announced
Young Justice, a Cartoon Network show, is about the get the RPG treatment with its own video game, Young Justice: Legacy. Game publisher Little Orbit has signed on with Warner Bros. to create a multiplayer action RPG for the DS, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360.
New episodes of the show will begin airing on March 3. The show features Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis as teenage heroes, sent out as a covert team by the Justice League. The game will take place between the first season and the second season, and is being written with Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti, the two show writers. The game will feature “fan favorite playable characters, cameo appearances by popular Justice League heroes and villains, and includes online multiplayer as well as local multiplayer modes.”
Matt Scott, CEO of Little Orbit, said, “The TV series is a fantastic combination of compelling writing, witty humor, iconic art, and exciting action sequences. The creators have done an amazing job blending over 180 DC Comics characters into their show filtered through a new, youthful perspective. The new video game contains a slew of cool features and a large playable cast of familiar heroes, but our core mission is to create a unique experience that fits seamlessly into the world of the show and offers a new way to interact with these popular DC Comics characters.”
Young Justice: Legacy will be out in early 2013.

Daily Scoop: February 21, 2012 – …and then I took an arrow to the knee
I, for one, am tired of the whole “arrow to the knee” meme, and I haven’t even played Skyrim yet. Does that just make me a jerk? Possibly. Do I care? Not really.
What I do care about are deals! Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is Disney Princess: Magical Jewels on the DS. It’s just $9.99 today, which is 50% off the regular price. Scoop it up and you, too, can be a pretty, pretty princess!
Also, GameFly is having a big under $20 blowout sale on their used games! The sale includes some pretty good deals, like Brink for $6.99 on the Xbox 360, Gears of War 2 for $7.99, F.3.A.R. for $9.99 for PS3 and Xbox 360, and Tron: Evolution – Battle Grids for the Wii. Check it out!
Today’s video game t-shirt is a tired meme I may have alluded to already… (more…)
