A press release was issued from Nintendo Australia today to officially launch their Facebook and Twitter accounts. This is great news for Australian and New Zealand Nintendo fans, as the general awareness of Nintendo products in this region is somewhat lacking. Let’s hope this activity brings more Nintendo love to this side of the globe.

Here’s the full press release:

Nintendo Australia announces the launch of both a Facebook Page and Twitter Account where you can be kept up to date with all the latest in the world of Nintendo in Australia and New Zealand.

With a mix of local information and global announcements, the newly launched social media pages will keep you posted on all the latest events and newly announced game information for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

We’re looking forward to reading your comments and we hope you’re looking forward to keeping in touch with Nintendo’s latest news, games, events – and local fans!

Have any Oz fans out there already jumped on to check out Nintendo’s latest social media activities?
