The US has also included the information on the website, but a release date has yet to be announced.

the official names better be more awesome, lmfao. it's cool that nintendo's trying to do something new after following the same routine for 10+ years. hope it doesn't flop.

---EXCITED!

Seriously, though, I hope this ends up being as cool as my mind is making it seem. I thought the backstory in B&W was really interesting, but it never got fully fleshed out- hopefully this will explain.

Hot damn, I knew Inevitable Third Game was Inevitable, but this is even more. I just better keep from talking myself into buying a copy of each the way I did with Black and White >_

Epic! I wonder if this'll just be an expanded version like usual, or if it will be an actual sequel. Given the different names, I'm thinking the latter...

[dysis]

An actual sequel would be nice, so hopefully that's what this is, rather than them just doing the 3rd-game-spinoff using two games instead of one to make it even more frustrating for us.

I think I'll hold off excitement until we know more about it. :P
