Autumn, huh?
That's... way too long D: It's been a long time since I was really anxious for a Pokemon game.

That's actually a very short amount of time between release dates in Europe and Japan than normal. Black and White were released in Japan 18th of September 2010, while the european version was released 4th of Marts, 2011, just below 6 months. So... around five months between the japanese and european release of Black and White 2 is my guess.

That's actually pretty good, I think. Means we might have it before Christmas! I'm super excited to see when it'll be released in America!

The late 2012 release date is sooner than many expected

I love not being one of the many. I expected this from the outset.

I'm guessing they will be released in November, for the Christmas market.

Ditto. (pun intended). Really, I'm surprised they didn't do this before, like with, say, Platinum. As much as the games usually sell, a Christmas release when there will be few or no other big DS games should put sales through the roof.

NOA, you need to step up your game, or we WILL import.

Nintendo America just confirmed a Autumn 2012 release for the US.

Yay! So happy to hear this. At least we won't have to wait long after Japan get them. I'm guessing a September/October release.

Hopes for September release!!!!

Where? I can't find it.

^I was about to say the same thing. I find nowhere that NOA said anything. This was NOE's announcement.

Huh, I would take it normal for a translation of Masuda's words being confusing when it comes to if these are formes or not, but now we got NoA treating em strangely as well.
