Below is the Press Release from Nintendo Australia…
Melbourne, Australia, September 14th 2005 Nintendo Australia is excited to announce a new price point for Nintendo DS of $A179.95 SRP.
The price drop will take place on September 22nd, just in time for the launch of the widely anticipated Nintendogs. Nintendogs, which is now a cultural phenomenon in Japan, has just launched in the United States with sales of a quarter of a million units in its first week. This makes it America’s fastest selling new game franchise ever released for a portable system.
The new price point of $179.95 also coincides with the launch of two new hardware colours, Cosmic Blue and Mystic Pink. Add to this the amazing new experiences with Nintendogs at the fantastic price of $49.95, making September 22nd a very big day for the Nintendo DS.
With an onslaught of brilliant games coming for the rest of the year, there is something for everyone on the Nintendo DS. October 6th sees the release of the very unique Kirby: Canvas Curse, and for the hardcore audience, the critically acclaimed Advance Wars: Dual Strike. A new Pac Man adventure, Pacn Roll is due November 3rd. The popular Mario Kart series returns in November with Mario Kart DS. Nintendo will also be releasing Meteos and Metroid Prime Pinball in December. Metroid Prime Pinball will come bundled with the new DS Rumble Pak accessory that lets players feel all the rolling, bumping and tilting motions.
With around 30 new titles by the end of the year from other video game distributors, including King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie from Ubisoft, this promises to be an exciting holiday period for all Nintendo DS owners.
