To the site, or to my picture? The picture already links to photobucket, but here's the site if you couldn't find it before:

The Japanese website for Super Mystery Dungeon has a very subtle feature for the official boxart where the background shows up first and then the Pokémon starters fade-in afterwards (all in about the time of 0.5 seconds). Because of that, I was able to isolate the background itself!



Time to make some sweet album art ;]

(P.S. What could the red glow in the center of the Tree mean?)
(P.S.S. I see LOTS of Balls of Light on the right side....)

That's definitely a sign of a spirit. Xerneas is pretty much guaranteed to be the one who sends you to the Pokemon world.

In other news, MERCHANDISE CONFIRMED

So I was dreaming about PSMD's launch (Hey I'm not the only one!) and it made me wonder...

"Holiday 2015". What month do you guys think PSMD will launch in NA? I'd love for it to come out on 9/17 for the US and EU along with Japan but it doesn't seem like it's happening. Fall (September to Early October in Nintendo's world) is pretty much likely either, so that leaves the rest as Holiday 2015. For reference, last year SSB Wii U and Captain Toad were labeled as Holiday games, and they launched in November and December respectively.

I really don't want PSMD to launch in December, since it would be 100% impossible to avoid spoilers for three months, and the wait would be more painful than it was for GTI for me, since I literally made a countdown to the GTI launch date and wished every single day until the 24th of March would end quickly so the game was in my hands. That was only three months, but it was during a slow time in school. This time it would be MUCH slower meaning I would lose my mind. October or November release is my hope.

And I swear if it launches on the same day as the pokemon ripoff or xenoblade x I'll be very upset as it may hurt the game's sales. I want PMD to continue forever!

(Or you know, have the games on VC... I could wait if they did that!)

According to serebii.net:

"On July 10th 20:00 JST through to July 11th 20:00 JST, there will be a 24 hour livestream showcasing past Pokémon Mystery Dungeon titles. This is mostly focused on Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, but it is also said to feature some content for the upcoming title, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon."

I am hype. I wonder if this homage to the older games is any implication of possible E-Shop versions in the future?

Oooooh, interesting. I wonder why it's mostly focused on EoT?

Wait what

There better be an announcement of a DS VC release of EOT/EOD/EOS then. I may not care for those games but I'll gladly take them in a heart beat if they get a VC release. Do we know who the host of the stream is? If so, maybe we could send him some tweets of encouragement and hope for a rerelease to celebrate PSMD.

[Nebbles]

I would like them on VC, actually... that'd be nice.

The Pokémon website pretty much says nothing about who's hosting or playing, but they do say that there's a special guest whose name is あばれる君. I don't know too much about that guy, but maybe y'all do?
Hopefully, someone will put up a Youtube stream of it because Nico Nico is pretty fucking meh in a lot of aspects.

That guy's twitter name is abarerukun. He seems to be a famous actor of sorts.

There was a brief clip of some dungeon music from the 2nd trailer (the pre-E3 one). This music was also in the (hilarious) new commercial ad released yesterday. Someone beat me to it:

Someone beat Bespinben to making PMD music?! GASP!

[Altissimo]

I am impressed. Who the hell did that?
