Damn, this finally made me want to own my own Physical Copy of this game, but it's coming out around 1,5-4,5 months before Pokémon Pokopia which is supposed to come Spring 2026, so I don't if want buy 2 same style games in such a short time between them! Atm my youngest brother owns Digital Copy of this game which one he gotta it as gift from our country's fund for sick children!
The annoying part they adding just 1 more Big Language and there is at least 1 more Big Language I quickly could think of it that they could added, but they not adding it due Country that it originates started ... days before 2022 Pokémon day and they still didn't ended it. So in the distant future we will have more these situations where they finally introduces just 1 or 2 new Languages instead bunch of then and that again limits transfer between games. So they need next time to do a bunch of New Big Languages instead of 1 or 2 if they lazy out with transfer limitations due New Languages.
This information was released immediately after Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, so why it is posted as news to NintendoLife only today almost 19 days later?!
I was highly excited when they revealed this 6:30PM/18:30 EEST, but as only owning Java I need wait some more weeks to be access it, because at Monday Java said there won't be any new Snapshots for Few Weeks! And Nintendo is the reason why I still not own Bedrock Edition cause Nintendo Switch along side Amazon Fire are only Plaforms that are not allowing Betas and especially Previews on they Platforms while I'm person who loves use latest content/update even if it is test version! And I wanna buy first Bedrock Edition on Main Console/s I own aka NS2/1, so I always end up not buying it cause of no Previews on NS2/1!
I guess they definitely add Overworld Shiny Sound from PL:A and from leaks we know PL:Z-A will have too, because then we will end up losing/missing/skipping many more Shinies due how far Mons can now spawn and how many now will spawn at once! If not I will definitely will need either walk or when riding Legendary stop every some seconds to not miss any Shinies!
LB- cards only work on Switch 2 LP- are Game Key Cards LN- cards work on both Switch 1 and Switch 2 I guess PL:Z-A will be LN one for NS2 from current descriptions?!
@SViper just extra addition to my previous comment, it was PokeSuutamie that was one of first people noticing this change at Pokémon Day 2025 and posting it with prediction for October 10th or 17th for possible release dates at her's X account!
@mariomaster96 @Grumblevolcano @Dev-N @Tyranexx @ParrakerriRush @Fizza @RupeeClock the date was one of expected dates by Pokémon Fans including me due there was change in date saying for Japan & Asian Countries in Pokémon Day 2025 reveal of date period! That change was instead saying Winter in Japan & Asia like they did for previous games revealed before May (Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Scarlet & Violet) this time it said Autumn for Legends: Z-A. So fans quickly picked on that and speculated it may be released at October near X & Y release date at one of these 4 days (2 Fridays, 2 Thursdays) 9th, 10th, 16th, 17th! So when I woke up almost hour ago date reveal happened as predicted (they usually reveal date at the end of the May or at he begging of the June especially they love last work week of May for that) and one of the dates we fans predicted for release date was correct as well!
@Ogbert from leaks and such as looks like New Megas will be only or mostly New Pokémon Designs with maybe some simple forms (forms that has no permenant stats changes or similar) like Vivillon forms or like Furfrou forms!
I like they increased how many Mons can spawn at once for NS2, but atm I'm a bit disliking that they increased spawn radius for NS2 as well, because if they not adding Overworld Shiny Sound, like PL:A has and PL:Z-A will have, with this update then some people may miss some extra Shinies that will now spawn out at further distance especially the Shinies that barely changes as Shiny!
Great news, looks like I will be doing Pokémon Violet playtrough first weekend of NS2 aka done with Scarlet already only some extra things are left to do there. They released 2 4k/2160p screenshots/images 1 for each Game as well, but I believe that those Patches will only make Handheld Full HD/1080p and max Quad HD/2k/1440p Docked cause I can't image they giving 4k/2160p for free. Plus looks like from those 2 screenshots/images that how many Mons will spawn at once will be increased for NS2 compared to any NS1 Game's version!
Thanks to one of things in change log the deal at GameStop where you can exchange any NS1 for price drop for NS2 aka your OLED for 175$ drop, regular for 125$ drop, Lite for 100$ drop now makes sense.
@AmyTheBrawler it was said at Direct that revealed this update that it will be Late April, but never expect they wait until April 30st aka last day of month for Europe, Asia, Oceana, Australia, etc and April 29th for America's Continents, etc.
How lazy is that company cause first they not done much optimization for game files for NS2 version too make it smaller so it endd up currently heaviest NS2 game atm and secondly it will be sold as Code-in-the-Box aka it will be completely Digital game sale where your only Physical gain is just a Case...
I'm interested if they ever be allowed in the distant future to release the game on the Nintendo Switch 2 and if they will release it on NS2 if they allowed?! I know Nintendo doesn't allow games in any type test versions and not full releases yet, so that's one of reasons why I'm only own Minecraft at PC as Java and not yet at only Consoles (Nintendo) I own.
@SViper and NS2 Physical Games are 5€ cheaper at that retailer of my country like they already do with NS1 Physical Games aka MKW is 85€, DKB 75€ and so on!
Around 2 hours and 50 minutes ago I Pre-Ordered NS2 + MKW edition! I lucked out cause my country's best gaming retailer sold normal NS2 for 529€ and NS2 + MKW edition for 579€ which I Pre-Ordered!
Still No Pre-Orders in any Lithuanian Retailers, but now I hope of they not happening yet then I hope they gotta delay till April 11th, because price here most likely be around 600€ for regular NS2 and 650€ for NS2 with MKW while I atm have atm a little less then 550€ and I won't get my pays until at least April 11th (usually is 12th, but this time is Saturday and in that case it's usually ends up payed at 11th at Friday then).
@Captain_Qwark_B-Job that was just rude and while I was celebrating my 30 birthday, plus you are spammer cause you make multiple new message in row when you can do all in one message instead!.. And the reason why I wrote that message cause it was only video I saw atm that has compared NS2 with older Gen Console, so wanted know if NS2 iš stronger or equal or weaker then PS4PRO...
Went with MKW instead DKB cause we know this Box Artwork is edited version of Main Artwork to spoil less game before release at this moment! And secondly I will buy NS2 with MKW while not planning own DKB or any DK game now or in the distant future!
@Medic_alert as I said in previous message of mine there still is a chance that GF/TPC can do dual copy thing for PL:Z-A and make NS2 version as full game sale instead NS1 with NS2 Upgrade Code aka for NS2 version to have whole NS2 game on NS2 Cartridge without needing account locked Code shinanigans!
@YoshiTails exactly, now I be doing this for sure with PL:Z-A just now waiting for my little brother to decide if he wanna extra copy for himself or he still good to share one copy (my copy) when I not be playing the game before GF/TPC starts Pre-Orders with Box Art & Release Date reveal!
Plus there still is a chance that GF/TPC can do dual copy thing for PL:Z-A and make NS2 version as full game sale instead NS1 with NS2 Upgrade Code aka for NS2 version to have whole NS2 game on NS2 Cartridge without needing account locked Code shinanigans!
@cyberrb25 both article and multiple people said it will be NS1 Cartridge with NS1 Game inside of the Cartridge + a Code for NS2 Upgrade to write down & activate that will be locked behind your account after you write down & activate!
I was just started reconsider to buy PL:Z-A NS2 Physical copy to be able share it with my brothers when lending my NS2 (I be only one with NS2), but if PL:Z-A NS2 Physical copy will be only in this format as well then I just buy my copy as NS1 version too and then buy Upgrade Digitally...
@KociolekDoSyta thank you for answer. Now I'm interested how much faster it will be Internally without NS2 Upgrade Pack aka just regular NS1 version on NS2?! And how much faster will be load NS1 Cartridge without NS2 Upgrade Pack and with it on NS2?!
Is this Internal or Cartridge or Micro SD Express?! Saw that yesterday live, I was medium exausted by that show cause didn't expect first of 2 days be over 4 hours long. xD
Price is as expected, but my country still not sells Micro SD Express and without it I can move around 80% NS1 to it, so it may no more be Day 1 purchase even if I already saved for it cause I don't have around 300-450€ extra to buy 1 TB Micro SD Express from outside my country. Whole direct was going fun until that part semi-killed it for me...
This just made me re:think my day 1 purchase, because I can only move around 80% my Switch 1 data to Internal Space of Switch 2, so I need that extra space and planned upgrade from 0,5 TB to at least 1 TB with Switch 2, but they only support Express which is newer tech and I still not found any shops at my country selling those, so 1 TB will cost me almost second console at this point. This Console now will end up for me costing around same price like PS5PRO costs which now makes me reconsider day 1 buy...
@DwaynesGames it's not that deep cause you need physically/locally be with the person to lend the game while that person must be part of your Nintendo Family and the game automatically returns back to you after 14 days, so!
Now that explains why Gold Coins are discontinued casue in 1 month's time we be able to lend Digital Games to family members via physically meeting each other, so if Gold Coins existed after this announcement everyone would be spending those Gold Coins on more worth it games now! xD

Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Version 4.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I hope Shiny Overworld Sound, like PL:A has, is in this update or we missing/skipping/losing even more Shinies on NS2!?
Re: Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Footage Shows 60fps Gameplay For Switch 2
I guess they definitely add Overworld Shiny Sound from PL:A and from leaks we know PL:Z-A will have too, because then we will end up losing/missing/skipping many more Shinies due how far Mons can now spawn and how many now will spawn at once! If not I will definitely will need either walk or when riding Legendary stop every some seconds to not miss any Shinies!
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Secures Switch & Switch 2 Release Date
