Preorders for this special edition handheld begin June 23 in Japan. It will retail for the standard DS price of 15,000 yen. There is no word on whether or not it will be made available outside Japan- it will only be sold at Japanese [[bp:Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center]] stores and the online Pokémon Center retail store.
Preorders for this special edition handheld begin June 23, with the unit retailing for the standard DS price of 15,000 yen. This special edition Nintendo DS is a Pokémon Center online exclusive release, and will likely sell out in pre-orders, as the Rayquaza GBA SP did in 2004. While the Mew DS will not officially be made available by Nintendo outside of Japan, online Pokémon mail order store [http://www.wakaba.net/ Wakaba Town] is expected to offer a limited number of units for sale, though no price has yet been announced.
