Nintendo has announced an exact date for launch of the Nintendo DS handheld in Australia. It’s pencilled in for release on the 24th February for the reasonably priced AU$199.25. Resembling the successful US launch of the DS, Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt demo will also be included with every unit.
"With the astounding US and Japanese results we are excited to confirm when this amazing interactive entertainment system will become available to Australian consumers" says Rose Lappin, Director of Sales and Marketing, Nintendo Australia. "At the end of February the Australian public will witness a redefining moment in interactive entertainment that will cement Nintendo as the major innovative force of this industry".
Although Nintendo still hasn’t announced a launch date for Nintendo DS in Europe, it is expected to hit the UK during March for at least £100.
