Nintendo Australia announces that within one week of PokémonTM Black Version and Pokémon White Version hitting Australian shelves on 10 March 2011, combined sales exceeded 77,000* units – smashing all previous records for week one sales of a Nintendo game in Australia. The previous Australian Pokémon release of Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version, sold a combined total of more than 45,000 units in week one of sales.

New SUPER MARIO BROS.TM Wii sold through more than 47,400 in week one in November 2009. This makes the release of Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version the biggest selling week one release of any Nintendo game, across any Nintendo console in the history of Nintendo in Australia. This takes total sales of all Pokémon games in Australia to more than 3 million units.

Make sure you explore the many new ways to enjoy Pokémon outside of the game, with the Pokémon Global Link website. Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version allow you to upload your saved data to the website www.pokemon-gl.com and use it to access specialised content. Enjoy a whole new way to play the game, as your actions while playing online will be reflected in your game’s saved data.

Visit the website and discover three new areas of play - Pokémon Dream World, Global Battle Union and Global Trade Station. Redefining the Pokémon series, Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version offer fans and newcomers alike a completely new adventure to discover and enjoy. Players will encounter more than 150 never-seen-before Pokémon, some of which can only be caught in each version of the game. Two of these Pokémon are the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version are available exclusively on the Nintendo DS® family of systems.
