Almost all of today's Nintendo news has been centered on the Wii U, but amidst the chaos of price and release date announcements for the new home console, one piece of interesting 3DS information came to light – the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series is coming back. Nintendo announced a 3DS sequel for the series via Japan's CoroCoro magazine, and its title translates roughly as "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labyrinth."
The CoroCoro issue went on to showcase images of the game which confirmed a 3D visual style and the presence of Unova region Pokemon. You can select Snivy, Oshawott, Tepig, Pikachu or Axew as your starter.
The "Magnagate" mentioned in the subtitle, meanwhile, refers to a type of portal in the game that teleports your Pokemon team into dungeons – you can create new Magnagates by using an included AR feature and scanning things. What things to scan? We don't know yet. Could be specialized QR codes, like Pokedex 3D. We'll have to wait and see.
Nintendo of America hasn't had anything to say about the game yet, but it's probably a safe bet that it will be localized for Western audiences. Most Pokemon titles are, and the Game Boy Advance and DS systems got a total of five Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games between them. So again, safe bet.
We'll go ahead and pencil it onto your TBA 2013 list, NOA.
