Nintendo's new handheld arrives down under next month.
Nintendo Australia Pty. Limited has announced the first official information about the Australian DS launch. The system will be released on Feb. 24th for $199.95 AUS. Nintendo will have two first-party launch titles: Super Mario 64 DS and WarioWare Touched!, with Pokemon Dash available soon thereafter. The rest of the launch lineup will be announced at a later time.
As in North America, the Australian launch of the DS will include the Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt demo with each system. This bundle is available for a limited time.

got to them and threatened to kick their asses and take names if they don't get the DS out in time.
