New Pokémon Mystery Dungeons Set For US

Of course we already knew Nintendo would not hold the two new versions of the Pokon Mystery Dungeon-series from a Western release. Now, it's official and we get a little more information.

Ever wondered what it would be like to become a Pokon? With the April 20 launch of Pokon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Pokon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness for Nintendo DS, handheld gamers will soon find out.

In this pair of action-packed adventures, players journey as actual Pokon through a fantastic land untouched by humans. Before the game starts, players take a test to help them figure out which of 16 Pokon best represents their personalities. Players then experience their adventure through the eyes of a Pokon as they explore the land and embark on an epic journey through time and darkness. They talk and team up with other Pokon to set out on an epic voyage while navigating an endless array of randomly generated dungeons.

More than 490 Pokon populate these new games, guaranteeing strategic, intense battles and infinite possibilities, no matter which Pokon players become. To widen their circle of Pokon friends, Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection lets users engage in wireless rescue operations and send alerts to their friends via e-mail or mobile text message.

"Only the Pokon Mystery Dungeon series lets players experience the thrill of actually becoming a Pokon character," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "It's a unique perspective that delights both longtime Pokon fans and newcomers alike."

Fans of the two previous Pokon Mystery Dungeon games, Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, will marvel at the greatly enhanced graphics, new story and grand adventure in Pokon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Pokon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness. For Game Boy Advance owners, the fresh look and wireless aspects of these new Pokon titles provide even more reasons to upgrade to Nintendo DS. And best of all for budget-conscious parents, Nintendo DS is also able to play the entire library of Game Boy Advance games.
