Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity heading to 3DS in Europe on May 17th

Nintendo has confirmed that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity (which was launched in Japan late last year) will be released across Europe on May 17th.

In case you're unfamiliar with this upcoming roguelike, you're thrust into the shoes of a plucky adventurer, who awakens from a mysterious dream as a highly collectible pocket monster.

This title is jam-packed with critters from Pokemon Black and White's Unova region, such as Snivy, Oshawott, Tepig, Axew, and the infamous Pikachu.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity will take advantage of many of the 3DS's hardware features.

You'll be able to scan real-world objects using the handheld's rear-facing camera, for example, and unlock new dungeons to explore.

Additional dungeons will also be available via free and premium DLC packs.

May 17th, boys and girls. Pencil it in your diaries.
