Nintendo has just announced its newest game for smartphones, Pokémon Go. The game will involve augmented reality, allowing players to hunt all the Pokémon.
To play, simply go to specific locations on the map where the Pokémon are, point your phone's camera, and throw a Poké Ball. The game also has an option to trade Pokémon and battle between trainers. The video also shows a group battle option, against multiple players or against a single Pokémon (in this case, Mewtwo), but Nintendo hasn't given many details on how this will work.
In addition to the smartphone game, Nintendo will also release a device called Pokémon Go Plus for those who want to continue playing even without needing to use their phone. This wristband will emit signals when a Pokémon or trainer is nearby.
This project will be an evolution of the April Fool's Day prank that Nintendo and Google launched in 2014, which allowed users to hunt Pokémon through Google Maps .
Check it out:
Pokemon Go will be released in 2016 for both iOS and Android, and will be free (but Nintendo has already warned that it will offer some form of in-game purchase).
