In addition, Square Enix's Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One for DS is scheduled to be released on October 2nd in Japan and will retail for �5040.
In some more 'exciting' news, Nintendo also unveiled a new range of coloured Wii Remote wrist straps. The accessories will be out in September and will be available in white, pink, blue and green for �300 each, or as a set of four for �1000.
