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.

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.
