![]() ![]() Linking with Pokemon seems to just be another word for catching them really - and with an additional two hundred warriors and warlords to seek out, it's nice to see the Pokemon 'catch 'em all' mentality is still perfectly intact. This whole linking thing looks a tad painful. Helping the series leave Japanese shores for the first time ever, Pokemon Conquest is known in Japan as Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition, forming an unlikely, if somewhat interesting mix of the loveable Pokemon with battles that actually took place in ancient Japan. But why is this relevant, we hear you ask, and what does it have to do with Pokemon Conquest? The answer? Because they're practically the same game. One such franchise we've missed out on by not living in Japan is Nobunaga's Ambition, a strategic role-playing game series set in feudal Japan, where you play as a warlord hoping to unite Japan through a series of turn-based battles (no, we've never heard of it either). ![]() With both Sony and Nintendo hailing from the land of the rising sun, you tend to find a fair few franchises never leave their homeland - some, like the Professor Layton series, take ages to make their way across the pond, but plenty never reach us at all, presumably as the powers that be think we'd likely deem them too weird, and shun them in favour of something more familiar.
