A new Pokemon game of sorts has been announced, and it's not at all what you might guess. Rather than starring in a new JRPG, beat 'em up, or something else that could be classified as "expected," Pokemon is being crossed over with Tecmo Koei series Nobunaga's Ambition.
The game's name isn't especially imaginative; it appears to be called Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition based on early images and what little information we have so far. It was announced at the Jump Festa expo taking place this weekend in Japan and will see characters from both franchises joining together.
Nobunaga's Ambition may not be a name you're particularly familiar with, but that's not because it's especially new or insignificant. In fact, it's one of Koei's oldest franchises, with the original game being released in 1983. Since then there have been more than a dozen games released for a variety of platforms, covering everything from MSX and NES up to PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The games themselves are strategy RPGs set in Japan's Sengoku period.
We don't know a whole lot about the game at this point beyond the fact that it's coming to DS sometime in 2012. We'll report back as we learn more concrete information.
