I listedPokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambitionas one of mymost anticipated games of 2012. It would be bad form on my part if I didn’t start digging up as much info as I could and sharing all that knowledge with you.

In last week’sJumpmagazine in Japan, some basic gameplay details were discussed. You start out by selecting a male or female protagonist, not unlike previousPokémontitles, but your starter will always be Eevee. Your character is a general who goes out into the wild to recruit new Pokémon to serve as your troops. You must defeat other famous generals, each who are paired with a Pokémon, in 17 different kingdoms, and you can recruit new generals with unique special abilities to command your troops in battle.

More details should surface during a press event this Thursday, and the game itself is slated for March 17. Who knows ifPokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambitionwill be localized, but if not, I’ll just have to soldier through an import copy. Check out some screens in the gallery below and hit the links to check out a few more images and bits of info.
