#Pokemon black and white download download
To download the Liberty Pass which will open up the Victini encounter you must access Nintendo Wifi via a wireless connection to the internet. Buy the game NOW or you won’t have access to one of the new Pokemon! The console market drives the developer’s behavior which, in turn leads them to try to incent us to behave in the way that is optimum for them.įortunately for them… and for me I suppose… I am on board with their plan.Īs for the actual download, remember that this is NOT an in-store event. Now they have to sell the new game.Īnd so we have this promotion. While both Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver each made the top 10 list of console games sold last year (combined they were in 3rd place by one report I read) that is all last year’s news. What will they call it? Pokemon Gray?)Īnyway, last year’s game no longer matters.

(Next spring there should be a roll-up version of Pokemon Black and White. GameFreak, which is the developer who actually makes the Pokemon games, has been on a pace to release a new… or revamped… Pokemon game every year in a very predictable pattern. And in something of a self-fulfilling prophecy, the more you sell early on, the more you tend to sell over all. There is no ongoing subscription revenue stream. Given how far in advance Nintendo started announcing this download event (the picture above is from an email I received on February 3rd), this was obviously part of the campaign to get people to buy Pokemon Black and White as close to launch day as possible.īut Pokemon is not an MMORPG but a console game, and the success or failure of a console game is often determined by those first day, first week, first month sales. This is the only way to unlock the encounter to let you capture this new Pokemon.
