Thanks to _Contra_ for the news tip!

Today, Nintendo has confirmed both the release date and price of the classic Pokemon remakes. Heart Gold and Soul Silver will launch in Japan on September 12. It was previously thought that the two titles would be available on that same day, so the speculation was right on the money. You can pick up either version for 4800 yen. There is no announcement as of yet for a North American release, but you can bet that Nintendo will be making an announcement eventually.

Wii Sports Resort sales data, much like the original game, will most likely be tracked for a long time to come. But how did the title perform on opening day in Japan? According to Japanese website Ameblo, the game sold 150,000 copies. Roughly 40% of the initial shipment was sold, though the title still has a strong chance of selling more than 300,000 units by the end of the week. While Wii Sports Resort was not able to sell more than Wii Fit in its opening day, it did perform better than Wii Music and the first Wii Sports title (based on data over a two day period). We’ll be posting more first day sales data shortly.
