DS RPG sequel Pokémon Black/White will hit European store shelves from 4th March, according to Official Nintendo Magazine.
That's nearly six months after the game made its Japanese debut but two days before it arrives in the USA.
The latest entry in Nintendo's long-running series boasts a few relatively bold design tweaks for the famously conservative franchise, including all-new Pokémon to round up, a new visual approach and seasonal cycles.
The changes seem to have gone done very well in Japan. The twin games were the biggest selling titles of the year there, shifting a whopping 4.91 million units between them.
Eurogamer's Chris Schilling went hands-on with the title back in October and hailed its impressive depth. "If Pokémon really is a kids' game, growing up seems hugely overrated," he surmised.

Unlike the Wii and DS, the 3DS will have a steady stream of new software arriving post launch, Nintendo has promised.
Speaking with the Japanese Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper, as translated by Andriasang, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata said, "It's important that you be able to supply software with no pause.
"With the DS and Wii, following the titles that were released at launch, the momentum dropped when there was a gap in software releases. We're making plans so that this type of thing won't happen."
Judging by the impressive array of software announced so far for the new handheld, this might not just be an empty promise.
This weekend we learned that the console will launch in Japan next month with eight titles, with Street Fighter IV, Nintendogs + Cats, Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle, Ridge Racer 3D and Samurai Warriors: Chronicle among the big names.
However, there's a long, long list of other stuff due in the months that follow, including Kid Icarus: Uprising, Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, two Resident Evil games, Starfox 64 3D, Pilotwings Resort, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, Mario Kart 3D and a new Paper Mario, to name but a few.
By comparison, the Wii launched with Red Steel, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Call of Duty 3 and Wii Sports, among others, in December 2006. Something of a dry spell followed until things started to pick up with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption in August 2007.
Nintendo is due to announce 3DS launch details for the rest of the world on 19th January.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has said that the platform holder intends to ship 1.5 million units of its new 3DS handheld in Japan by the end of March.
The company expects to ship four million worldwide in that period. Nintendo is expected to announce North American and European launch specifics on 19th January.
Over the weekend Nintendo unveiled the Japanese launch line-up for 3DS, fronted by first-party title Nintendogs+Cats.
Speaking to the Japanese edition of the Wall Street Journal (translated by Andriasang), Iwata also said that the console packaging and documentation would advise parents to avoid letting young children play in 3D for prolonged periods.
This follows advice issued by Nintendo earlier this month that children under six years old should only use the console in 2D mode – something the platform holder enforced at its Nintendo World event in Japan this weekend.
Iwata said that certain unnamed specialists believe extended 3D viewing could have a negative effect on vision in young children – something disputed by US experts last week.
Nintendo was concerned because of the way that parents allow children to use its products for very prolonged periods, Iwata said, as a kind of babysitter – but he also said that the warnings were precautionary and not meant to mean that the systems are dangerous.

News via http://thatotherdev.wordpress.com/20...%e2%80%93-ps3/
Its been a month now since I released anything for PS3 so here is something new. Its a flight sim although I’m not really sure if that is the correct term considering that its not simulating real world flight. I started it almost a week ago and intended it to be like a one day project that I would be able to just throw together and then return to working on my other games. But I kept running into problems and its still heavily flawed and incomplete.
It uses sixaxis motion controls for steering, L2 and R2 make you spin, L1 is for shooting and R1 is for acceleration. Pressing select inverts the controls for turning up and down.
There is no credit screen yet but there is a LOT of borrowed stuff that went into making this game. I’ll list it all out later.
Feedback is as always greatly appreciated. Its a genre that I’m not particularly familiar with (the only flight sim I’ve ever played much of was the PC version of Incoming and that was ten years ago) so I could definitely use some guidance. Whats your favorite thing about modern flight sims?
Some suggestions on the enemies behavior and movement would be especially appreciated. At the moment I find it to be simultaneously too easy and too difficult. As long as you keep moving its almost impossible to get hit by the enemy blasts. But unless you just stop and turn around its also fairly difficult and time consuming to ever shoot them. Slowing their move speed would make it impossible for them to keep up with you but increasing it would make it impossible to turn and shoot them well you are still moving. Slowing their turn speed would make it even easier to avoid being shot by them but increasing it would once again make it impossible to turn and shoot them well you are still moving. Maybe having them alternate between actually following you directly and just circling around you might work… ...by Published on January 9th, 2011 22:35
