Pokémon Box, the storage 'em up for Gamecube is finally getting a release in the United States- and it's happening really, really, really, really, soon. Seriously, by the time you're reading this, it probably happend centuries ago.

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

The cough, cough, "game", which is similar to Prof Oak's PC in the Pokémon Stadium games looks set to be available generally in America on June 12th- that's the 40th anniversary of when Nelson Mandela was jailed.

Other vaguely interesting features in the software include storage for upto 1500 Pokémon- or many more if you switch memory cards! The game will be a bargain at $19.95, or 174.56 El Salvador colons.

Also included in the package is a 251 block memory card (although the 1000 and something block has just come out, not that 251 isn't plenty), and a GC-GBA link cable. They really are spoiling the yanks.

Meanwhile, Europeans have to buy hundreds of pounds worth of games to earn enough stars to get it from Nintendo VIP, or obtain a sawn-off shotgun and hold up their local branch of WH Smith for a Colosseum mega-pak. Of course, the former option will make you bankrupt and the latter a wanted criminal. Either way you'll end up in court.

We'll keep you in posted on any further developments of either Pokémon Box being put on a wider scale European release, or the trial of Joe Bloggs the armed robber Vs The WHSmith group.
