Nintendo surprised me this morning with a press release stating that odd  Pokemon crossover, Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition, would be coming to North America on June 18th, 2012 under the title: Pokemon Conquest.

Pokemon Conquest is developed by Tecmo Koei and will be coming to the Nintendo DS. The adventure takes place during the Japanese feudal era in a world called Ransei where a young warlord is linked with a Pokemon. They must gather allies to protect the kingdom in turn-based skirmishes. There will be over 200 Pokemon in the game as well as warriors and warlords inspired by that particular era. Choosing the right Pokemon to inflict the maximum amount of damage is still important, though now there will be six-on-six strategic battles that will have changing conditions on each turn.

If there was ever an interesting Nintendo DS game, this would be it. Too bad it's coming late in the life of the handheld. Will you be picking up this game in June?
