Another Nintendo bonus disc on the way for Pokemon

Nintendo must be seeing how much these bonus discs are increasing sales, because they are doing another one for people that preorder Pokemon Colosseum. I realize this won't appeal to most of the older gamers here, but I know there are a few Pokemon fans plus those of us with kids so I thought I would post the info.

On Feb 9th you can pick up the disc which has a preview of the game, a preview of the new movie Pokemon: Jirachi Wish Maker (Yeah, I know), and the Jirachi Pokemon that you can transfer to your copy of Pokemon Ruby or Saphire with the transfer cable. Kind of cool for people that are still playing around with Ruby and Saphire.

Nintendo is also releasing a limited edition Onyx and Platinum two tone GBA SP on the same day.

Huh, weird -- who woulda think Nintendo would end up with the same number of returns for Onyx SPs with bad bases as for Platinum SPs with bad screens!

Nintendo should have done the two tone GBA like the Boktai one in Japan. One color on the inside and one on the outside looks way better than the way they are doing the US one.


However the GBA does kind of match those of us with a Platinum cube and a black Game Boy Player base.

that boktai version of the gbasp is pretty cool. the black/platinum one looks like they overproduced the wrong color and they just put them together.

what is pokemon? is it an rpg?

Darn, the bonus character may be enough for a preorder. My son will love the extra character.

I doubt it.. Channel had a low price point because it was more or less little mini-games and stuff.. Colosseum is going to be a full game.
