Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver NA Release Date Confirmed?

[Rock Raiyu]

Amazon.com is now listing HeartGold and SoulSilver as having release dates of Sunday, March 14th. Previously, the site did not list any date, so perhaps they have just received official confirmation from Nintendo. Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum were also released on Sundays. Additionally, Amazon sent out an e-mail to those who pre-ordered the games stating that the estimated delivery date is between March 14th and 16th (the date depends on where you live).
The March 14th date also fits the theory posted yesterday that Nintendo is using the HeartGold & SoulSilver TCG set to advertise the games in February, and will then release them in March for maximum sales, as was the case with some TCG sets in the past. Of course, until an official source confirms the March 14th date, we cannot know for sure if it is tentative or not. Stay tuned!

Which then updated....

QUOTEContinuing from our previous news story, Amazon.com has just updated with the English box art for both HeartGold and SoulSilver. The images confirm the English games will contain the PokeWalker, though there wasn't much doubt they wouldn't. Click the thumbnails below for larger images. Seeing as Amazon posted a release date of March 14th the same day they received the official box art, it's probably safe to assume it is the correct date, especially since it's a month after the TCG set of the same name will be released and because previous games have also been released on Sundays.

NIce to hear it's on sundays so we can buy one ASAP

I hope it's the official date as I dont want it on April or May.

I'll purchase this game. It is a remake to the awesome Gold and Silver. Plus, I can't just pirate every game. I'll get left feeling guilty.

This was on Wikipedia for a while, if you didn't know.

 

[FestusArrestUs]

Awesome news. I'm going to buy both versions...maybe

 

[anaxs]

im gonna pirate as usual, maybe not since im not all into pokemon as much as i was before
i hope that it doesnt vcause a next noob flood, the last one was horrible

 

[ChaosBoi]

I might actually buy one of the copies just for that Pokewalker, and then download the other one (Same as what I did with D&P).

 

[Raika]

Pokemon's getting slightly boring and repetitive for me, I don't think I'll be buying it. (I deleted Platinum off my cart when I hadn't even cleared the 4th gym)

 

[shakirmoledina]

as long as its gonna get dumped in march, get it
may be better than the prev one but i think many will enjoy playing a game they know was good (ie remake)

 

[blackdragonbaham]
