Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) The first images of CoroCoro has been revealed, showing a new game for the 3DS coming this winter called Pokemon: Mysterious Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labrynth. It's coming to Japan this year. In this game, you start off as a character who turns into Pikachu as you fall into a dream. Partner Pokémon are Oshawott, Axew, Snivy & Tepig. This game is in full 3D. Unlike past games, this game appears to be standalone, rather than having two versions It features a variety of Pokémon including Pokémon from Unova such as Gurdurr, Hydreigon and Virizion. You receive Quest Requests from Dunsparce, Cofagrigus runs a store, to which we don't know the details. Rampardos runs the Treasure Store. Kecleon returns, having the usual Goods store, with many items around it. Finally, it has an Augmented Reality feature. If you scan things, they become Magnagates, which open up paths to new dungeons for you Edited May 29, 2013 by Grazza Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2012 YYYYEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been waiting too long for this! I loved the DS games! I swear, this had better come out over here (unlike a certain Wii Ware Pokemon game that shall remain unnamed...) Kinda wish they were going with sprites though. The DS games had a nice charm about them; oh well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 14, 2012 Yay! I love Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. I hope it has a good storyline and soundtrack like the others did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 15, 2012 OMG YES! Looks amazing!!! (also confirms that Chunsoft are making it - as if there was any doubt) Very faithful to the DS games (awesome 2D portrait images and all!) while simultaneously taking advantage of all 3D has to offer in terms of presentation with the cutscenes and such. All the old sound effects are still there and that theme song, HNNGGGHHH!!! GIMME! NOW!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 15, 2012 I absolutely love the graphics - definitely looks like the upgrade the PMD games have needed for so long (though the gameplay will probably be just as tedious as before) - but... only five starters/partners?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 15, 2012 Maybe it's high time I got into this spin-off series. Which of the previous DS games would you guys recommend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 15, 2012 Maybe it's high time I got into this spin-off series. Which of the previous DS games would you guys recommend? Blue Rescue Team (the 1st game) and Explorers of Sky (the enhanced re-release of the 2nd game - think Pokemon Yellow/Crystal/Emerald/Platinum) The stories dont carry on from one another, so you don't have to play the 1st game first, but I'd still recommend doing so as you'll appreciate the changes made in the sequel much moreso (plus the sequel is more complex and content packed than the 1st one, so Blue Rescue Team will ease you in moreso) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 15, 2012 Cool I can't wait for this game and it's the second Pokemon game in 3D on the 3DS cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 16, 2012 A load of new screenshots and info Lugia and Ho-Oh are major Pokémon within the narrative (accessed via Magnagates), along with Kyurem. The main hub area in the game is known as the Pokémon Paradise and features a variety of new Pokémon who provide many amenities and items. A new feature in the town is V-Roulette, run by Victini, which will get you higher ranked Pokémon through the V-Wave. Scraggy will allow you to forget and/or remember various moves. Azumarill runs the noticeboard where all the missions are given. In addition to this, you're able to build up Pokémon Paradise to your own specifications as you go on, setting up stores with various PokémonWith Pansage, you have the ability to grow various berries to aid you on your quest. Quagsire is used to check upon the status of the Pokémon you have befriended, and set you to have them join you in the next dungeon. Beartic provides you with a small mini-game to play where you need to shoot discs across some ice to get it in a hole. There's an Everyone Attack mode where all Pokémon 's heart beams are collected. The effect differs depending on your main character's type but it can do massive damage. There are also special Team Skills, which are currently unknown. Emolga and Dunsparce are labelled as best friends and will join your party as the game progresses. The official site has also revealed that Keldeo will keep a major part within the game. In addition to that, it revealed that the strength of moves increases as you use them move. Thunder, for example, starts off at Level I and increases through Level III. http://www.serebii.net/dungeoninfinity/pics.shtml I think they managed to do a good job of keeping the Dungeon aesthetics while switching to 3D. Much better than the WiiWare travesty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 16, 2012 The screenshots look great! The return of the character portraits really complete the look Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 16, 2012 Those 3D models aren't bad. Any idea if they are just recycling the models made for the Pokedex? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 16, 2012 Those 3D models aren't bad. Any idea if they are just recycling the models made for the Pokedex? Yeah, the Pokédex 3D Pro models are standard so the companies are just reusing the standard assets Another case in the argument for using sprites in the main games...differentiation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 5, 2012 Impressions from a certain Joe Merrick for ONM http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/44526/pokemon-mystery-dungeon-3ds-verdict/ Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate & The Infinite Labyrinth is the first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game to be released in the UK since Explorers of Sky came out in 2009. Great to hear a UK release is on the cards. All sounds rather promising. This'll be my first Mystery Dungeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fully expect it in today's NDs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That being said, I fully expect to see it get a western release. Edited December 5, 2012 by Dcubed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 5, 2012 Do you call them 'Pokemon' because the game is on the 3DS and you get to poke the Pokémon with your stylus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
