 REDMOND, Wash.--April 19, 2005--Nintendo of America Inc.
introduces the first new color in the Western Hemisphere for its
popular Nintendo DS(TM) portable video game system. "Electric Blue"
debuts in June and will become a permanent color in the DS palette,
joining the original silver-and-black model, named "Titanium."
"This eye-catching new color comes at an ideal time," says George
Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and
corporate communications. "Nearly 2 million Nintendo DS owners in
North America alone have demonstrated they want something new from a
hand-held video game system. Soon, consumers will have two popular
choices for the innovative dual-screened Nintendo DS, which features
touch-screen control, voice recognition and wireless play."
June also will see the release of two exciting new DS games. On
June 13, Kirby(TM): Canvas Curse will bring a new touch-screen twist
to a popular franchise. Players will draw rainbow paths for Kirby to
roll along as he stuns enemies and takes on their abilities. And on
June 27, the highly anticipated and highly addictive puzzle game
Meteos(TM) will have players launching deadly falling meteors back
into space with touch-screen precision.
The worldwide leader and innovator in the creation of interactive
entertainment, Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, manufactures and
markets hardware and software for its popular home and portable video
game systems. Each year, hundreds of all-new titles for the
best-selling Game Boy(R) Advance SP, Nintendo DS(TM) and Nintendo
GameCube(TM) systems extend Nintendo's vast game library and continue
the tradition of delivering a rich, diverse mix of quality video games
for players of all ages. Since the release of its first home video
game system in 1983, Nintendo has sold more than 1.9 billion video
games and more than 336 million hardware units globally, creating
enduring industry icons such as Mario(TM) and Donkey Kong(R) and
launching popular culture franchise phenomena such as Metroid(R),
Zelda(TM) and Pokemon(R). A wholly owned subsidiary, Nintendo of
America Inc., based in Redmond, Wash., serves as headquarters for
Nintendo's operations in the Western Hemisphere.
