Nintendo is the "Stuff" in Stocking StufferPosted on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 @ 10:17:36 pm E.S.T
Just like snowflakes, no two press
releases are alike. Except during the holidays, when they're all
exactly the same. So Nintendo is taking a break from decking the halls
and is opting instead for the straightforward approach to tell you
about all the great stuff available for the holidays. From the
innovative new Nintendo DS(TM), to Metroid(R) Prime 2 Echoes and a
high-value bundle for Nintendo GameCube(TM), to new styles for the
best-selling Game Boy(R) Advance SP, Nintendo delivers holiday delight
on three separate game platforms this year.
"Once again, video games and systems will be hot gifts for anyone
with a wish list this holiday," says George Harrison, Nintendo of
America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate
communications. "With so many Nintendo products to choose from, no
stocking should be left unstuffed."
Anyone confused about what gift to give for the holidays need look
no further than the list of best-selling video game products on
Amazon.com. Roughly 10 out of the top 25 sellers on the list are
Nintendo games, hardware or accessories for Nintendo products.
Amazon's best-seller list changes every hour, but it's safe to say
that Nintendo will remain at the top of everyone's list this holiday
season.
