AUSTRALIA, Melbourne, January 30th 2003 – These days, gamers have insatiable appetites – and Nintendo GameCube™ and Game Boy Advance™ consoles fill that hunger. The Nintendo game library continues to broaden its appeal to video game players of all ages, interests and lifestyles. This reflects an increasing amount of support from third-party publishers, adding to a strong calvary of first- and second-party selections.
With more upcoming exclusive additions, including the most anticipated GameCube titles to date, Metroid® Prime launching on April 3rd, Capcom’s thrilling, mature-rated Resident Evil series, the high-speed action of F-Zero® and the role-playing adventures of The Legend of Zelda®: The Wind Waker, the Nintendo GameCube offers a plethora of titles for everyone. Older gamers will drool over titles such as Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon from UbiSoft and new versions of Resident Evil, proving Nintendo has the stuff to thrill the souls of men.
“Nintendo’s growing list of diverse video games is what hard-core and recreational gamers desire,” says David Yarnton, Director of Sales and Marketing, Nintendo Australia. “Nintendo has the games and hardware to provide consumers young and old the best game-play experience”.
In the exciting portable gaming arena, the announcement of both the Game Boy Advance™ SP launching March 28; and the Nintendo GameCube™ Game Boy® Player, launching in June, will support the continuing popularity of the Game Boy franchise. With new versions of popular games available this year such as Golden Sun™: The Lost Age, Pokémon® Ruby, Pokémon® Sapphire and Advance Wars 2™, Nintendo will continue to sell Game Boy Advance units and games at lightning speed.
