Nintendo Australia’s record for release date announcements is pretty terrible, so terrible that we look toward our friends (cough) at Nintendo Europe for guidance during these troubling, empty release list times. We already knew the DSi XL would be out this quarter (March 5th for the UK), but what else on the list is looking good?

There’s a Pink DSi and Style Boutique bundle that’s out next month. Nintendo Australia usually go it alone when picking colours, so we’re not convinced we’ll get this one. But we should be getting Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep, Picross 3D and the two big ones, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver + PokéWalker accessory, around the same time as the UK. We’ve heard rumblings about the Pokémon remakes’ dates here in Australia but haven’t been able to confirm anything as of yet.

Here’s the list, which also contains some strong third-party offerings.
