Nintendo unveils extensive 4th Qtr Product Lineup
With a lineup this good, there's something available for everyone.
by | August 26, 2004
Hot on the heels of its recent announcement of Nintendo DS titles currently in development, Nintendo released its upcoming lineup of titles planned for the fourth quarter or 2004. The extensive list reveals a broad range of titles covering all genres respectively from first- and third-party developers.
Players can look forward to such games later this year including the highly anticipated sequel Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. These games will carry Nintendo through a strong holiday season into January when two of its biggest games launch: Resident Evil 4 for GameCube and The Legend of Zelda: The Minnish Cup for Game Boy Advance. These will be followed in 2005 by the release of othr highly anticipated games like Star Fox, Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat and Geist.
This impressive lineup will not only create a great amount of software sales amongst the current user base, but new customers as well. More love and appreciation for the Nintendo has revealed itself by an increase spike in sales, attributed to the recently announced Metroid GameCube Bundle. Since its first week, system sales have increased over 48 percent over its previous week; this accounts for almost 80 percent of all Nintendo GameCube systems sold by top retailers.
We can expect more impressive figures to roll in when the Nintendo DS and the forthcoming Cube and GBA titles are released in the fourth quarter. But enough marketing gab, sit back and gaze upon this fine lineup of games to come.
