We’d heard rumours but Nintendo Australia has confirmed a March 25th launch, just a smidge over a week after America.

Nintendo Australia has today confirmed the release date for the much anticipated Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver versions, and, yes, we will be getting the Pokéwalker included. Nintendo’s press release is brief so no price points have been revealed yet, but it should be the usual DS price.

Pokémon games typically arrive in Australia months after their US counterparts, though our release date (March 25th) puts the release of the game just over a week after. Cancel your import pre-orders!
