The latest issue of Famitsu gaming magazine in Japan reviewed the upcoming Nintendo DS games Pokemon HeartGold & SoulSilver. The reviewers gave scores of 9, 9, 9 & 10 for an overall score of 37/40.

According to the 1Up.com write-up on the news, all four judges praised the remake games stating: "I got addicted to the collecting, raising, and battle aspect," one reviewer wrote. "It reminded me of how well-made a game [the original] Gold/Silver 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."

"The base story is the same as the original, but the way it feels couldn't be more different," another concluded. "There's a lot of newness among the nostalgia." another reviewer stated. "Pokemon has a kiddie image, but there's no reason adults can't get addicted." explained one of the reviewers.
