Australian DS Launch Info
« on: January 10, 2005, 02:26:55 PM »
Nintendo's new handheld arrives down under next month.

Nintendo Australia Pty. Limited has announced the first official information about the Australian DS launch.  The system will be released on Feb. 24th for $199.95 AUS.  Nintendo will have two first-party launch titles: Super Mario 64 DS and WarioWare Touched!, with Pokemon Dash available soon thereafter.  The rest of the launch lineup will be announced at a later time.


As in North America, the Australian launch of the DS will include the Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt demo with each system.  This bundle is available for a limited time.


Various EB stores have begun placing stacks of pre-order pamphlets on store counters, as well.  Looks like Australia's finally getting into the swing of things.  Here's a look at the pamphlet, courtesy of reader Ryan Ellis:

Hooooooly crap! <3!
I love everything right now, I love NAL, I love PGC, I love you all, let's have sex. $200 is an AWESOME price (only like $3 more than what a US DS would cost). NEXT MONTH! NEXT MONTH.

Cool. Maybe  TeH got to them and threatened to kick their asses and take names if they don't get the DS out in time.

I wonder if the fairer-then-usual price has anything to do with the trip Iwata took to Australia a few monthes back.

Good question. People are pointing at March, still, but now I'll say "definitely before June" and know I'll be right!
