Nintendo:E3 2008 Center/Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia announced for U.S.

We've known about Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia for quite some time now, and it was inevitable that it would be released in America, though it's good to have some sort of confirmation via the Nintendo presser. Beyond that we've also got new information, some images and a logo. I never played the original though I may pick this one up. Oh, and by the way - where the heck is Pokémon Platinum?

Press Release
Become a Pokémon Ranger and protect nature, rescue people and help Pokémon in need.
 * Pokémon Ranger is a unique action-adventure series that features a fun, different way to capture Pokémon with the Nintendo DS stylus, which controls an item  called the Capture Styler in the game. Players circle the Pokémon they want to  catch by drawing circles around them on the touch screen. When you complete  certain Quests, the Ranger Union awards you with power-ups, which add new  upgrades and functions to your Capture Styler, allowing you to advance as you  work to eventually become a Top Ranger (the most revered Ranger of all).
 * Now you can partner with a variety of different Pokémon of each type to complete Missions—giving you many options on how to approach different  challenges. Every Pokémon is different, and capturing a Pokémon allows you to  use its abilities to overcome various obstacles and challenges you will face along  the way. The job of a Pokémon Ranger is never done: your duties will include  fighting wildfires, rescuing people or even delivering an important package.
 * Your journey to become a Top Ranger takes you to the new region of Almia. This game has a larger world, more Missions, more adventure and more to do than the  previous Pokémon Ranger game. It has a storyline full of adventure and the  ability to travel to and explore many exciting new areas in Almia, including  oceans, forests, deserts and more with the help of your Partner Pokémon.
 * This is the first game in the Pokémon Ranger series to feature Pokémon from Pokémon ® Diamond and Pokémon® Pearl.
