Good news if you live in the US, are a fan of Pokémon games, and like walking... Nintendo announced that they will be shipping the PokéWalker accessory bundled with any of the new Pokémon games.

The aforementioned accessory is a PokéBall-shaped pedometer that can interact with either Pokémon HeartGold or SoulSilver and it had been announced before, but they never mentioned that the add-on would be included with the game on this continent. The pedometer allows the player to earn "Watts" by walking, and these Watts can be used in-game to catch Pokémons inside the device and unlock certain items and paths in the game. You can also use it to wirelessly trade items with other PokéWalker walkers...err, users.

Both games are scheduled to be released in the US on March 14, 2010.

UPDATE: The UK version has been confirmed to be released on March 26th and will also include the PokéWalker.
