Nintendo Announce 20 Million Euro GameCube
Promotion
Nintendo is celebrating the launch of Game Boy Advance SP and
its connectivity to Nintendo GameCube by running a €20 million pan
European promotion. The first 400,000 Game Boy Advance SP to be sold
include a '50 euros discount' voucher for Nintendo GameCube.
2003 is going to be a great year for Nintendo gamers. The line up is
incredible and over 80 new games will be available for the console
this year. Exciting new titles include the critically acclaimed
Metroid Prime, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Resident Evil 0
(Capcom), Enter the Matrix (Infogrames) and FIFA Football (EA) which
will support connectivity with GBA SP.
The GBA SP is set to launch across Europe on March 28th and is a
stylish addition to Nintendo's Game Boy range. Nintendo has given
the console a completely new ultra stylish design to appeal to the
most style conscious consumers of handheld technology worldwide. The
console will be available in 3 premium metallic finishes, silver,
black and blue and Nintendo has introduced further innovations to
suit its new image, including a flip-top screen with an integrated
front screen light, plus a rechargeable lithium battery similar to
those found in mobile phones, offering gamers over 10 hours of
continuous illuminated game-play. When the front light is turned
off, the continual play increases to approximately 18 hours. The new
Game Boy Advance SP will also be backwards compatible and can play
cartridges originally designed for Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game
Boy Advance.
This year will also see the launch of over 60 new games for the GBA
SP, including FIFA Football (EA), Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4
(Activision), Tomb Raider: The Prophecy and Castlevania: Aria of
Sorrow (Ubisoft). The range of games available in 2003 and the
stylish new console both highlight Nintendo's appeal to gamers of
all ages.
The limited edition GBA SP packs containing the discount voucher go
on sale on March 28th. The voucher will be valid for a limited
period. GAME CUBE is currently priced at around 199 euros and with
this 50 euros off voucher will be priced at around 149 euros.
