Spotted on twitter by TodoNintendoS. Checked myself, and so it is!

I guess Nintendo and Sony don't see any issue with this since it's a movie and not a game... STILL... :P

I mean, we had Pokemon games on the Sega Pico and Sega Beena edutainment consoles, so anything's possible in this crazy world!

Did anyone actually think Sony wouldn't put a major motion picture on their movie platform

 

[vestan]

can't wait to see the bloodborne comic make its way to the eshop

Funny as it is, this is very unsurprising. Its a major movie.

What is the story here?

 

[ASleepingMonkey]

I mean, it's just a movie. It'll probably be on Xbox too, if it isn't already

The movie isn't distributed by Nintendo, it's done by Warner Brothers.

You do know how movies work right OP?

The "irony", that's about it. :P

 

[Firestorm]

Even aside from the fact that it's a movie, you do understand that Nintendo doesn't own Pokémon right?

Hell second post

Pokemon isnt even owned by nintendo (they're 1/3rd of it), I feel like this proves the thread from a day or two ago where everyone said casuals would never have known that.

It can also be bought in the Microsoft Store:

What's so special about it being available in the PS store?

Nintendo =/= Warner Brothers & Pokemon Company.

There were Spider-Man movie games on the Gamecube and Wii. Shock of shocks.

Actually if Aquamarine is to be believed, Nintendo actually own 43% and have full control on where it goes:
