Post by: WindyMan on August 15, 2003, 10:24:23 PM

This October, if you buy a regular GBA, you'll get an e-Reader and some nifty e-Cards.  

NIN-TID-BIT: GAME BOY ADVANCE & E-READER RETAIL BUNDLE

Nin-tid-bit  n.  A choice morsel of information regarding Nintendo®

Although summer is in full sizzling swing, Nintendo is bundling up!  Bundling up with one of its most popular and successful franchises that is … Game Boy®.

For a limited time beginning Oct. 13, consumers who purchase an Indigo or Glacier Game Boy® Advance for an MSRP of $79.99, will also receive an e-Reader with a Donkey Kong Jr.-e game and sample pack.  

In addition, three new e-Reader card series are set to launch in time for the holidays:

• Pokémon® Battle-e cards – Players will now be able to battle new trainers with new more powerful Pokémon as well as Pokémon not available in Pokémon® Ruby and Sapphire versions.  Pokémon Battle-e cards launch on Oct. 20.
• Super Mario® Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. ® 3-e cards – These e-Reader cards expand Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 game play with additional levels and power-up items.  Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3-e cards launch on Oct. 20.
• Game & Watch-e™ cards – The series includes more than 25 different games, including original Game & Watch™ games, special color versions, and highly collectable rare versions that replace Mr. Game & Watch with popular Nintendo characters. Game & Watch-e cards launch on Nov. 17.

Summer is HOT but Nintendo is definitely COOL!

Hmmmm, hopefully this will last until Crystal Chroniles comes out, so people can kill two birds with $80. Hmmm, I guess the fact that there is a limited color selection means they are obviously trying to get rid of the remaining non-SPs... although I'm not positive. It depends on which colors sold the best - those would not be the ones offered since there would be the least of them. Of course, that's if one assumes they produced the same number of each color. Anwyay, I don't have any stats so its just speculation.

Hmmm 2nd Post.
