Yes, that's a factual headline above: Nintendo is publishing the bizarre crossover of Pokemon Plus Nobunaga's Ambition in the US as "Pokemon Conquest" for the Nintendo DS. And yes, you also read that right - Pokemon Conquest marks the second Pokemon game heading to the DS in 2012 rather than the 3DS (Pokemon Black/White Version 2 being the other).

Unlike main series Pokemon games, Game Freak didn't handle development of Conquest, but rather Tecmo Koei. Also unlike main series Pokemon titles, Conquest is a 2D adventure set in the world of Ransei, where players inhabit "a young warlord who is linked with a Pokemon." Sounds totally reasonable! Pokemon Conquest arrives on June 18.
