Nintendo's Touch Generations Portable Gaming Brand Sees Huge Growth
New Games Include a Dalmatian Puppy and 40+ Clubhouse Games
REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Nintendo's popular Touch Generations portable gaming brand includes Nintendo DS(TM) video games meant for anyone to pick up and play, regardless of their prior gaming experience. And that easy-to-use philosophy is translating into strong sales. Already, close to 3.5 million Touch Generations games have sold in the United States, demonstrating an expanding audience of consumers' desire for simple, fun games that don't take years of gaming experience to master.
One of the most popular Touch Generations games is Nintendogs(TM), an emotionally addictive, portable puppy-training program that took the world by storm last year and redefined the meaning of "video game." A limited-edition version of Nintendogs called Dalmatian & Friends hits stores Oct. 18. The game lets users adopt, train and care for a puppy chosen from one of the six starter breeds: Dalmatian, golden retriever, Yorkshire terrier, beagle, boxer and German shepherd. To date in the United States, the three versions of Nintendogs have sold more than 2.2 million units combined, ranking them atop the list of all-time Nintendo DS best sellers.
Another Touch Generations game is Nintendo's new Clubhouse Games(TM). Available today exclusively for Nintendo DS(TM) Lite, Clubhouse Games includes more than 40 traditional party favorites like checkers, darts and poker. A highly social product, players can play solo, or with up to seven friends via single-card local wireless play. Or they can log onto Nintendo(R) Wi-Fi Connection, Nintendo's wireless gaming service, to challenge friends worldwide.
"Clubhouse Games demonstrates yet another way we're reaching beyond avid, experienced gamers and providing entertaining experiences for everyone -- young and old," explains George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Our Touch Generations brand has proved to be a huge hit -- just find the distinctive orange labels and you're ready to play."

They should stop writing Lite there, that confused my sister into thinking you can't play Brain Training on a normal DS.
