Ranger: Shadows of Almia - For the Bride & Shaymin! US & EU Release Details
As we reported earlier this month, the final mission for Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia is scheduled to go live in America tomorrow. This mission features a story of a Shaymin that runs away when it is meant to be present at a Wedding. As it is an Extra Mission and not a Special Mission, Shaymin is not transferrable to Diamond, Pearl or Platinum. In the US, this Wi-Fi Event mission is scheduled to go from March 1st 2009 to April 30th 2009.
However, today Nintendo of Europe announced that this final mission is also going to be available from tomorrow in Europe and will last until March 31st 2009, meaning its going to be around for a shorter length of time. To play this mission, you need to have beaten the game's main story, however you can download it at any time. Click the picture to go to the special page detailling all six Wi-Fi missions.

Nintendo today opened the official site for Platinum. This site reveals a lot of the stuff we knew about Platinum, hinting at the new Rotom forms, confirming that we will get the Secret Key outside of Japan, and the Frontier Brains and giving some basic general details. However, with that, we get the names of the three mini-games you can play over Wi-Fi. These are playable in both the Wi-Fi Plaza with random people, and in the Wi-Fi Square with your friends. These mini-games are called; Swalot Plop, Mime Jr. Top & Wobbuffet Pop. Click the picture to go to our page detailling all the WiFi aspects of the game.  In The Games Department
DSi US Release
Although this is not Pokémon news, it would be worth noting as its a console Pokémon can be played upon. Today, Nintendo issued a press release detailling the release details for the third model of the Nintendo DS; The Nintendo DSi. The DSi is an upgrade of the DS and features a variety of new features including two camera, music playback, bigger screens and WPA support as well as an online shop that allows for downloadable games. The DSi is due out in America on April 5th 2009 for the price of $169.99. The one problem is that the DSi lacks a GameBoy Advance slot meaning the Pal Park features on Diamond, Pearl & Platinum will not work in this console.
