Nintendo Announce Pokémon Dream Radar And Pokédex 3D Pro For The 3DS eShop, Release New Unova Map

The Map above is Unova from Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2. interestingly, under the ice you can just make out landmarks which leads me to suspect that the ice may recede later in the game.


 Nintendo have announced Pokédex 3D Pro for the 3DS. it will be an upgrade option for those who have the original free Pokédex 3D app on the 3DS. this Pro version includes over 600 Pokémon, indepth sorting, and comprehensive details on what abilities each Pokémon can learn. all known Pokémon are unlocked from the start. This app will be coming to the eShop, but no release date or price was announced.


Nintendo also announced Pokémon Dream Radar, another eShop Pokémon App coming later to the 3DS. This AR game lets you catch Pokémon around you that can then be transferred into Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2. the Radar will include some rare hard to get Pokémon. Nintendo haven't revealed a price yet for Pokémon Dream Radar.

Capcom Announce They Are Moving Away From On Disc DLC, Dragon's Dogma One Of The Last Games To Have It



Capcom have announced that following gamers opinions, they are moving away from on disc DLC. because this move is recent, games that have been in development for a long time will still have on disc DLC. Dragon's Dogma was specifically mentioned as one of these games. Capcom haven't revaled what they will do instead, but the Capcom Senior VP Christian Svensson said this regarding on disc DLC on the Ask Capcom Thread...

Hey guys,

We've been getting several questions, here and elsewhere about the future of on-disc DLC. 
We would like to assure you that we have been listening to your comments and as such have begun the process of re-evaluating how such additional game content is delivered in the future. As this process has only just commenced in the past month or so, there will be some titles, where development began some time ago and that are scheduled for release in the coming months, for which we are unable to make changes to the way some of their post release content is delivered.

One such title is Dragon’s Dogma, where the decision to include some additional (but not all planned additional) game content for the game on disc was made at the beginning of the game’s development cycle as at the time this was determined to be the most efficient way of ensuring certain content was made available. Owners of Dragon’s Dogma will be able to further their gameplay experience with the release of additional quests, weapons and other items in the months following the game going on sale.

Dragon’s Dogma’s  post-launch content will extend the lifespan of a title that already offers around 30-40 hours of gameplay by following the main story thread, but if a player was to complete all the side quests Dragon’s Dogma ships with, that increases to around 100 hours. Players will also be able to add to the stock of 100s of weapons and 1,000s of customization options to create not only their ideally equipped, but also their most elaborately designed character.

Just wanted people to know in advance the whys, wherefores and where we're going in the future. You are being heard. Thanks.
