Re: Pokémon Black and White 2 coming to Europe "this autumn": Nintendo of Europe ...

You'd think they'd wait until next year, with the process of translation and all...

Perhaps they've been working on it a lot longer than we originally thought? That's my take on the quick translation. Maybe they've already begun the translation process that normally take half a year. Or it could just be their translators got cocky.

Naah lol I just think they've had this planned out for a good while now.

Does anybody remember when the exact March release dates for the original BW were announced? Was it December or earlier?

I do. For the US, December 27, 2010. Games have always been revealed 2 or 3 months before the release.

The games are localized by TPCI. PCoJ probably sends them the script in advance.

Can anyone explain to me why they think they'll be out in November/December? This isn't 1978.

The games will be released no later than October. November and December are classified as Holiday. Pokemon.com and Nintendo of America said Fall 2012.

Winter begins on the 21st of December. The games can easily be released mid or late December.

If they were going to be released in December, the date would have been announced as "Holiday 2012". But it wasn't. Besides, we've had games released before the season they were announced for had technically started. Pretty sure someone posted a list in this or one of the other B2W2 threads.

Re: Pokémon Black and White 2 coming to North America and Europe this autumn: Nintend

Well we know the games will be released on a Sunday. I looked at my calendar for September and looked at all the Sundays in September.
September 2nd 2012
September 9th 2012
September 16th 2012
September 23rd 2012
September 30th 2012
What if the games were released on September 2nd 2012?
It's exactly three months after the Japanese release, and it's the day before Labor Day which would be an extra day for the weekend.

While I would love any of those dates, 9/2 does seem like it would be the smartest date because, like you said, it's Labor Day weekend. That could cause more sales, and because Labor Day weekend is most peoples' idea of the beginning of Autumn in the US.

The games could easily be released early-mid November, that's still technically not the Holiday season.

Usually anytime in November or December is considered holiday season. Especially mid November counts as holiday. Maybe the first week of November could maybe count as autumn, but I still think they'll be released in September. I can't remember the last time I saw a videogame advertised for autumn release that was released later than October.

Or the 21st of November, depending on how the seasons work where you live. But I "somehow" doubt TPCi will follow Ireland's seasons, so my argument is invalid.

Re: Pokémon Black and White 2 coming to North America and Europe this autumn: Nintend

Honestly, it's impossible to say with any degree of accuracy when this game will be released in the west. "Fall" is a vague enough term that it could basically be any time in the final third of this year. They're being intentionally vague because they probably don't have a solid release date at this point.

Personally I think September would be cutting it fine as far as the translation process goes. It's been streamlined recently, but three months might be pushing it. On the other hand, if these games are what Platinum was to Diamond and Pearl, with a large amount of the script remaining the same, then maybe it will be a quicker process than BW.

Now, would early-mid November be considered "Holiday" or "Autumn"? I know the holiday season creep gets earlier and earlier every year. Christmas things start appearing in stores as early as October and the festive music starts playing on radio stations in mid-November.

Like Bikini Miltank was saying. It could be considered either/both. I think we'll start getting a better idea on the release date by the Japanese launch. The fact that the games were announced practically simultaneously here and overseas is probably a good sign that we won't necessarily have to wait until November or December--though, I just wanted to point out that it is possible.

...SQUEEEEE.

Glad to see at least a defined time period for these games' release. Been looking forward to them more so than I have a Pokemon game in years. ^^ Not since Diamond/Pearl.

Wow, that seems pretty quick to me. We usually get localized versions the next year it's released from japan.
