Posted this like 5 days ago in the Official BW2 thread, but never hurts to have a formal announcement.

It's worth noting that while the Nintendo DS is traditionally region-free, DSi enhanced titles (such as Black and White) are region blocked when not played on an original DS or a DS Lite; so it's to be assumed that B2W2 will be DSi enhanced as well.

I would pre-order White 2, but with Aniplex USA's Puella Magi Madoka Magica volume 3 Limited Edition out in June, I'll be strapped for cash.

Im thinking of preordering but want to wait for more game info before doing so. Plus I forgot my Play Asia password ^^;

sounds good, and it couldn't hurt to preorder so i could have an instant Masuda method...but...without knowing the plot it will be very difficult. I'd rather play an English-patch rom than play it in Japanese blindly. If there's heavy story plots involved, I'll never get anywhere :P

As much as I should be practicing my Japanese, I just can't justify that price. And like Joshawott said, they may be region-locked, so I wouldn't be able to play it anyways.

I think I'll wait for the English release...

Black and White had DSi enhanced features? I thought they said it didn't have any.

The Xtransceiver is the the enhanced feature. It supports video if you're using a DSi, DSi XL or 3DS.

I'm not sure what version I want yet, so I will have to wait a while until I buy the game. I don't care about the DSi enhanced features, because I don't have a DSi anyway. DS and DS Lite are far more better than DSi, because they can play all DS and GBA games. DSi don't.

Also, when played on a DSi/XL/3DS, Black and White can use a WPA encryption for Wi-Fi.
