Confirmed today officially by Nintendo press release and the official Pokemon website.

http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=21389
On the portable side, Nintendo's hand-held systems will see the arrival of a number of diverse games, including the eagerly awaited Pokémon™ HeartGold Version and Pokémon™ SoulSilver Version on March 14. Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version allow fans to return to the scenic Johto region first introduced in the beloved Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver games. The games have been fully enhanced with rich graphics, updated sound, new touch-screen controls and much more.
So Amazon's change of date turned out to be true - hurrah for that - March >>> May IMHO. =P So discuss/celebrate away, I suppose, ye Americans and people who will import from there. (Like me!)

Finally, a confirmed release date so the speculation can stop =P I don't know if I'll get it right away or not though.
You forget that there'll still be speculation about Australia's and more so Europe's release dates though. =P

Yeah, hopefully Australia will get it at the same time as the US of A
although with the precedent of Platinum, it doesn't seem likely....
but anyways, I'm still positive about the news^^

Yay, I'm going to get a gift card, filled with $200, and buy the game and guides when they come out. And NOW! This gives me a reason to come on more.

SO HAPPY. :) BEST NEWS OF THE NIGHT. :)

How come it takes so long for translations? A company that large.....it's strange xD
When you look at how long it normally takes it's right in the usual time taken slot - when it comes to major games like these, thy don't rush things. Plus on top of the translation (which would be more than usual I'd guess given the extra features and the two regions meaning more NPCs talking to you about the wonders of Pokemon), there's having it run through for game ratings (and the same with other countires - for instance Australia had Platinum get a G-8+ or something due to the game corner), and they also do game testing for bugs, etc.

I'd say probably not. The last few instances Australia has been after America, and will probably be so again by a month or two - my guess is though it'll be before the European release as usual. And as pointed out just now it's April apparently. But importing may be an option if available to look into - it ends up being the same thing as the US version at any rate, down to it using the US English in past cases.

Mind you back with GS Australia got GS a couple of days before America - both nearly 11 months after Japan, and Europe another half a year afterward us. And then Korea a further year later... compared to now where Korea are getting it the month before America. Luckily for them a lot has changed, it appears.
Not really. Reportedly TPCI mentioned that Australia would receive copies in April. What's unknown is whether the Australian version features the Game Corner, as HeartGold and SoulSilver have received a G rating instead of a PG rating like Platinum, and are not tagged with "Mild gambling references".

For this reason, I'm importing.
Cool... but an extra month wait means I'm importing too. XD (And there's still the European speculation... I recall many a thread on multiple forums of people wondering when Europe would get D/P so who knows). I do hope Australia would have the Game Corner though for those who will wait for the game.
MARCH FREAKING 14TH! Damn why are they so mean to us, why are we like last! I don't know how well I can hold out that long.
As mOOg pointed out, you're the third place in the world (as far as we know) to get the game, far from the last. =P

I checked the calander, and it is yet again, on a sunday, why, just why do they always release the games on sunday in the states, and on a friday in Japan, also, why does Korea get it first and not us here in the land of the free and home of the brave, FireRed and Leaf Green were released on a Thursday in the states, and I remember that day back in 2004, but when Emerald came out, it was on a sunday, and every game after that (D/P released on sunday, 7 days after easter, Platinum released on sunday before easter (and a week before my birthday)) now it is exactly 2 weeks before my birthday, and I am not getting them 2 weeks late..........

Asking why each of the new Pokémon games in the US are released on a Sunday is the same as asking why each of the new released DVDs in the US are released on a Tuesday rather than any other day. Also, it isn't much of a large deal if the games are being released in Korea first over the USA. I mean if it doesn't affect you then it shouldn't be a big deal or problem for you. The point that matters however is that it's finally confirmed and it's coming. ^^

Anyway, after Amazon had changed their release date and had given a show of the official US Box Cover, then I had a pretty assuring feel that March 14th 2010 would have been the confirmed date. Anyway, glad to know it's finally "officially" confirmed by Nintendo. Now it's just to pre-order it after the holidays. =D

^_^ I'm so flipping happy! Its A month after my birthday so I'll be able to get both if all goes well! I'm now dedicating myself to getting these games! But I wonder if they'll give out the Arceus figure because Gamestop gave it out with Platinum if you bought Platinum on Black Friday.
