Nintendo and Game Freak launched their latest Pokemon games (Black and White) on September 18th in Japan, to strong critical reviews and massive pre-order sales figures.
Today, the company has announced the eventual U.S. launch of the games will be on March 6, giving fans something to look forward to.
Pokemon, since its launch in the 90s, has long been one of Nintendo's biggest cash cows, bringing in strong sales for every new iteration of the franchise.
The latest games have all-new Pokemon, a fully revamped visual style, new ways to connect online, and even new battling options, giving the series a serious makeover for the first time in years.
In Japan, the game sold 2.63 million copies in its first 48 hours. Currently, the game is nearing 5 million sales in the nation.
