Pokemon XD Bundle Announced
« on: October 13, 2005, 07:50:06 AM »
All of the extras of the Mario Party 7 bundle, but with Pikachu and the gang instead of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness Nintendo GameCube Bundle Released

       The latest Pokemon(R) game for the Nintendo GameCube(TM) is about to become part of a fantastic deal. Available now for the dedicated Pokemon fan will be a Limited Edition Bundle featuring a Nintendo  GameCube system and controller, Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness and a       Limited Edition Pokemon XD faceplate -- all this at an MSRP of only $99.99. Now players can face off against the Shadow Pokemon in style.

        Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness for Nintendo GameCube features visually       stunning graphics, amazing battles and mind-blowing effects.  A wonderful new storyline means players must thwart the evil plans of          Cipher, a ruthless organization bent on using Shadow Pokemon to take over the world. The fate of Pokemon lies in their ability to Snag and Purify them before it's too late, while a special new feature       provides players the ability to import Pokemon from the Game Boy(R) Advance Pokemon games, and watch them battle in full 3-D.  
        Pokemon continues to dominate the video game market. The recent success of Pokemon Emerald sparked the sales of more than 1.29 million units, becoming the second best-selling video game so far this year for any system.  Pokemon has generated more than $15 billion in worldwide retail sales since its introduction in North America in September 1998. Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness is Rated E for Everyone.  

I am Karl Castaneda's news-posting clone, also known as Karl Castaneda #2. I have an inferiority complex, thanks to my being a clone. Fear me!

Errr... This isn't really the Mario Party 7 Bundle, is it?

Mario Party Bundle
GCN
Mario Party 7
Microphone
*Two* Controllers

XD Bundle
GCN
Pokémon XD
Custom Face Plate
*One* Controller

Now unless you want that custom face plate, I'd say go for the Mario Party bundle... it's like getting a second controller free!

However, if the XD bundle has the custom face plate, does that mean it's a DOL-001 GameCube in the bundle (i.e.: the GCN with a Component Output)?
Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.

Unless of course you want Pokemon XD but have no interest in Mario Party 7.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!
