Swarthout" Subject: [N64] GBA REDMOND, Wash., March 7, 2001 - "It's like playing TV video games-in the palm of your hand!" That consumer response will be repeated millions of times in America beginning June 11, when Nintendo's wildly anticipated Game Boy Advance arrives with a slate of 15 brand new games designed specifically to demonstrate its breakthrough performance, headlined by Nintendo icon Mario in Super Mario Advance. The system will carry a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $99.95, while new game software will retail for between $29.95 and $39.95. Additional launch titles include Nintendo's F-Zero®: Maximum Velocity, as well as the following third-party games: Army Men® Advance (3DO), ChuChu Rocket!TM (Sega), Dodge Ball Advance (Atlus), Fire Pro Wrestling (BAM), Fortress (Majesco), High HeatTM Major League Baseball® 2002 (3DO), Iridion 3-D (Majesco), Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure (Majesco), Rayman (Ubi Soft), Ready 2 Rumble® Boxing: Round 2 (Midway), Tony Hawk Pro Skater (Activision), Top Gear GT Championship (Kemco) and TweetyTM and the Magic Jewel (Kemco). More than 60 exclusive Game Boy Advance titles are expected by Christmas, and virtually all games sold for previous Game Boy systems are compatible with the new hardware. "There has never been a portable game system like Game Boy Advance, and never has a game system launched into such a booming market," says Peter Main, executive vice president, sales and marketing, Nintendo of America Inc. "Our existing portable system, Game Boy® Color, remains the fastest-selling video game platform in America, achieving all-time sales records even 11 years after introduction. Game Boy Advance will set brand new records." Game Boy Advance decisively breaks the existing boundaries for handheld video game play, boosting both screen size and battery life by 50%, and picture resolution by 66%. Game Boy Advance actually delivers a sharper picture than current 32-bit and 64-bit consoles playing on a 27" television. Game Boy Advance runs 17 times faster and displays more than ten times as many on-screen colors as Game Boy Color. It will enable previously impossible scaling, rotating and transparency effects. Two new control buttons have been added to the original Game Boy configuration to allow for more complex and varied forms of game play. With select multi-player software titles, four Game Boy Advance units can be linked together by an optional cable offering four-way game play with all four players using a single game cartridge. In addition, the unit itself is capable of being used as a discreet controller for the upcoming Nintendo GameCube console. Game Boy Advance will be available in three colors: Arctic (white), Glacier (translucent blue), and Indigo (violet). Nintendo Co., Ltd. of Kyoto, Japan, is the acknowledged worldwide leader in the creation of interactive entertainment. To date, Nintendo has sold more than 1 billion video games worldwide, has created such industry icons as Mario® and Donkey Kong® and launched franchises like The Legend of Zelda® and Pokémon®. Nintendo manufactures and markets hardware and software for its popular home video game systems, including the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy® - the world's best-selling video game system. As a wholly owned subsidiary, Nintendo of America Inc., based in Redmond, Wash., serves as headquarters for Nintendo's operations in North America.
