What that means is that there will be a new GameCube title coming out almost every single day during November and December.
NINTENDO GAMECUBE -- 180 Reasons Why Men Crave It and Women Envy It
Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 0 Mark Unprecedented Holiday Season For Older Gamers
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 15, 2002--The game worlds on
NINTENDO GAMECUBE(TM) this fall are filled with the boundless
innovation of Animal Crossing(TM), an epic tale of dinosaur rescue in
Star Fox(R) Adventures, and the unbridled merriment of Super Mario
Sunshine(TM).
But, from now on ... it's gonna get crazy.
Today, Nintendo kicks-off "Non-Stop Nights of Nintendo," an
unprecedented launch schedule, with practically a game-a-day from
October through December, featuring dozens of game releases designed
for teen and mature players. The cornerstones of the line-up are the
launches of two of the most wildly anticipated exclusive NINTENDO
GAMECUBE titles, Metroid(R) Prime (Nov. 18) and Capcom's
Resident Evil 0 (Nov. 12). But these games are only a start.
Before New Year's Eve, older players will see their favorite game
genres flooded with titles featuring traditional and extreme sports,
racing, fighting and first-person-shooters, building the
NINTENDO GAMECUBE library to a total of 180 games by year's end.
"Nintendo has always delivered innovative, high-quality
interactive entertainment, and it's only logical to see them more
aggressively push to increase their appeal among an older audience,"
says Jerry Madaio, vice president, merchandising, Electronics
Boutique. "Standout titles like Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 0
achieve that goal."
"For more than 20 years, Nintendo has justifiably earned its
reputation as the only company capable of creating hit games for all
ages, across all cultures," says Peter MacDougall, executive vice
president, sales and marketing, Nintendo of America Inc. "But this
fall, NINTENDO GAMECUBE owners will find that same emphasis on
top-quality and riveting thrills inside games with decidedly more
mature environments."
Aside from Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 0, Nintendo also
released the exclusive, psychological thriller Eternal Darkness:
Sanity's Requiem(TM) in June. Among the upcoming NINTENDO GAMECUBE
releases through the end of the year are: Star Wars: Bounty Hunter
from LucasArts; FIFA 2003, Knockout Kings 2003, Medal of Honor:
Frontline and James Bond: Nightfire from Electronic Arts; Tom Clancy's
Ghost Recon from Ubi Soft; Die Hard Vendetta from Vivendi Universal;
X-Men: Next Dimension and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 from Activision;
Batman: Dark Tomorrow from Kemco; TimeSplitters 2 from Eidos; Sega
Sports: NHL 2003 and Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II from Sega;
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance from Interplay; Mortal Kombat: Deadly
Alliance from Midway; Black and Bruised from Majesco, and many more.
