Nintendo Has More Games Than Ever Before

With Largest Selection of Software, Nintendo Appeals to All Gamers

REDMOND, Wash.--Jan. 15, 2003--These days, gamers have insatiable

appetites - and Nintendo GameCube(TM) and Game Boy(R) Advance fill the

need.

By summertime Nintendo of America Inc. will accelerate its

Nintendo GameCube game library past 225 titles as it continues to

broaden its appeal to video game players of all ages, interests and

lifestyles. This reflects an increasing amount of support from

third-party publishers, adding to a strong calvary of first- and

second-party selections.

With more upcoming exclusive additions, including Capcom's

thrilling, mature-rated Resident Evil series, the high-speed action of

F-Zero(R) and the role-playing adventures of The Legend of Zelda(R),

the Nintendo GameCube offers a plethora of titles for everyone.

Older gamers will drool over mature titles such as Tom Clancy's

Ghost Recon from UBI Soft and new versions of Resident Evil, proving

Nintendo has the stuff to thrill the souls of men.

"Nintendo's extensive list of diverse video games is what

hard-core and recreational gamers desire," says George Harrison,

senior vice president, marketing and corporate communications,

Nintendo of America Inc. "Nintendo has the games and accompanying

hardware to provide consumers the best game-play - whether that

experience is mature-rated or family friendly."

On the other end of the video game spectrum, the announcement of

both the Game Boy(R) Advance SP, launching March 23, and the Nintendo

GameCube(TM) Game Boy(R) Player, launching May 26, will support the

continuing popularity of the Game Boy franchise. With new versions of

popular games available by this summer such as Golden Sun(TM): The

Lost Age, Pokemon(R) Ruby, Pokemon(R) Sapphire and Donkey Kong

Country(TM), Nintendo will continue to sell Game Boy Advance units and

games at lightning speed. More than 40 third-party titles will launch

this spring, taking the Game Boy Advance library alone to more than

350 games.

More e-Reader cards are on their way this spring as well, with the

second and third series of Animal Crossing-e(TM) cards (Jan. 20, March

10) and Mario Party-e(TM) cards (Feb. 17).
