One More Go-around: DS Connection Tour Touring Australia In Jun/Jul
Australian Pokefans. Let me show you them...this...stuff. The Nintendo DS Connection tour, which did the rounds last year in honour of Mario's birthday, is warming up for another go, this time in celebration of you. You Pokefans, you.
Starting on June 30 at Westfield Fountain Gate in Melbourne, it'll travel to Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney before winding up in Perth on July 21. Sorry Canberra and Hobart. No dice. If you went to last year's, expect the same. If you didn't, expect copious amounts of Pokemon Diamond & Pearl stuff, DS demo stations and the awful, lingering stench of body odour as hordes of sweaty teenage Nintendo fans jostle for elbow-room.
Times and places are after the clicky-click.
Australia, Melbourne, May 31st 2007 - The latest Pokémon® games for the Nintendo DS™, Pokémon® Diamond Version and Pokémon® Pearl Version will arrive in Australia June 21st, for RRP$69.95. As part of the major marketing activity planned, we are giving Pokémon fans a chance to unite in the upcoming Nintendo DS Connection Tour '07. Kicking off June 30th and travelling across the country through to July 21st, the Tour will allow Australia's Pokémaniacs to gather and celebrate this great occasion and share their Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl experiences.
The games feature more than 100 new Pokémon, worldwide wireless battling and trading using Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection, and voice chat functions that let players talk wirelessly with their friends.
Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl are already being enjoyed by millions of people. In America, independent sales data gathered by the NPD Group showed combined sales exceeded 1.75 million copies in just 14 days of availability and in Japan, over five million copies have been sold since launch in September 2006!
To date, more than 155 million copies of Pokémon games have sold worldwide.
