Australia, 28 May, 2009 –

Nintendo DS® (inclusive of Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite® and Nintendo DSi™) has sold through more than two million* units in Australia! Independent market research company GfK Retail and Technology Australia confirm that this makes Nintendo DS the fastest selling console to sell through two million units.
Nintendo DS reached this milestone of two million units in 221 weeks, and for the last three years, Nintendo DS has been Australia’s number one selling console.

New to Nintendo DS on 4 June 2009, will be the Touch! Generations title Rhythm Heaven™. Touch! Generations games are a range of games (on both Wii™ and Nintendo DS) that anyone can play, regardless of their gaming experience.

Tap into the rhythm on your Nintendo DS with the most infectious game – Rhythm Heaven. Use your Nintendo DS stylus to tap, flick and slide your way through more than 50 rhythm games, ranging from the quirky to the downright crazy!

Rhythm Heaven features original music in dozens of rhythm-based mini games. The music, created by legendary Japanese pop-star producer TSUNKU?, is addictive and catchy. Even though the controls are simple to grasp, each mini-game will challenge your grasp of rhythm by throwing in interesting beats and off-beats.

With an advertising campaign fronted by worldwide pop sensation Beyonce Knowles, Rhythm Heaven is easy enough for new players to pick up and play for a few minutes at a time, yet veteran gamers will want to unlock and master every game.

Put your sense of rhythm to the test from 4 June with Rhythm Heaven –
