Pokemon: Diamond/Pearl is, beyond doubt, the most anticipated release in the American market for the wonderous and fancy DS. Despite
runaway sales in Japan and critical success, however, Nintendo has remained extremely tight-lipped about its eventual release date, with nothing more than a "TBA 2007" showing up in their catalogs.
The latest Nintendo Power, however, seems to have mention of a Spring release; those trusty soldiers at NeoGAF seem to have their heads on straight. Furthermore, Nintendo's official
Pokemon website is now claiming an April 22nd release date, and despite Nintendo's penchant for delaying games till all
nine eight planets align, we'll give them the benefit of the doubt. We won't lie ... we
want this game, stigma be damned. The
Pokemon franchise, if nothing else, has repeatedly demonstrated engrossing gameplay and attention to detail, and the new Wi-Fi trading system just makes it all the sweeter.
Wanna know what else? Nintendo Power gave the upcoming
Phoenix Wright: Justice for All a 9 out of 10.
Awesome. If David didn't mention that you have to love
Phoenix Wright to
come work here, then consider this an amendment of epic proportions.
