TIME-HONORED ZELDA SERIES GETS LEGENDARY PRE-SALE OFFER IN CANADA
Consumers Pressure For Pre-Sell Program For Two Hot Zelda Properties
VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 18, 2002 –The Legend of Zelda®: The Wind Waker™ is set to launch for Nintendo GameCube™ on March 24, 2003. But in Canada, consumers already are pushing for an early pre-sell effort so they can be guaranteed a copy of the game.
Starting Feb. 16, 2003, Nintendo fans can get a double-hit of Zelda.
When a customer places a $20 deposit for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker at a participating retailer, they’ll receive a special, limited-edition playable disk featuring two games: The Legend of Zelda®: Ocarina of Time® and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest -- an updated version of the game which was never released outside of Japan.
Nintendo Co., Ltd. in Japan introduced a similar pre-sell program last month. Nearly 500 consumers called Nintendo’s North American consumer service line asking for the same program here.
“We were surprised consumers tracked the program in Japan and were begging us to do it here,” explains Ron Bertram, general manager, Nintendo of Canada Ltd. “We decided it was a great idea and one we know consumers really want.
“The Legend of Zelda®: The Wind Waker game raises the bar on digital entertainment with a unique and technologically advanced graphic style and compelling story,” continues Bertram. “Making this pre-sell program available to the fans, it solidifies Nintendo’s commitment to the hardcore gamer, while introducing the series to a whole new generation of gamers.”
Originally released for the Nintendo® 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was honoured as the 1999 Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences “Game of the Year” and also named “Game of the Century” by Next Generation magazine.
To date, worldwide sales of The Legend of Zelda series have surpassed 36 million software units. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker will retail for a suggested price of $69.95.
As the worldwide leader and innovator in the creation of interactive entertainment, Nintendo Co. Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, manufactures and markets hardware and software for its popular home video game systems. The systems include
Game Boy®, Nintendo® 64, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo GameCube™. Since the release of its first home video game system in 1983, Nintendo has sold more than
1.6 billion video games worldwide, creating enduring industry icons such as Mario™ and Donkey Kong® and launching such franchises as Zelda™ and Pokémon®. As a wholly owned subsidiary, Nintendo of America Inc., based in Redmond, Wash., serves as headquarters for Nintendo's operations in the Western Hemisphere.
