<p><img src="http://projectpokemon.org/images/HeartGold_SoulSilver_Box_Art.png" title="Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver Box Art" alt="Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver Box Art" style="border: 1px solid #369; margin: 0 0 0 1.5em; float: right; color: #369; font-size: 90%;">Pokémon’s upcoming release of the remakes to the Gold and Silver Versions, HeartGold & SoulSilver, were reviewed by a popular Japanese magazine, <em>Famitsu</em>, in its recent issue. The game received very good scores, receiving three 9s and a perfect 10 for a total of 37/40.<p>

<p>"I got addicted to the collecting, raising, and battle aspect," one reviewer wrote. "It reminded me of how well-made a game [the original] <b>Gold/Silver</b> was at its core. Being as universally known as it is, there are few surprises here, but the game is so exquisitely balanced that getting addicted is a natural process."</p>

<p>The game is still set for a September 12th release in Japan and an early spring release in North America.</p>

92.5%? That's extremely good, in my eyes. I certainly hope to have money to get this game by the time it comes over to America...

92.5% is a very good score. Their only gripes were that it lacked surprises and it was more nostalgic than anything... Uhm... it's a remake (lol).

[FLOOTENKERP]

Beautiful, simply beautiful. This game is going to be so awesome.

Such high scores... And for a remake nonetheless ..

Is Importing from the following site safe?

Play-Asia is safe, Slayer. It's a popular site for this sort of thing. It's also the site that I pre-ordered HeartGold from.

I'm not entirely sure any magazine's rating system is completely unbiased, but I also already knew these were going to be the best Pokémon games ever, so eh. Also, too bad about the "lack of surprises" thing.

Then again, there could be some left if there are event-related unlockables in the game.

Glad to hear that. It means the 120$+ I spent to reserve both games and have them imported from

playasia is going to be worth it after all.

I expected as much. Those games were cool to begin with, so remakes are extra cool.
