Nintendo Reminds Consumers of their Products for the Holidays
 November 16th, 2004 (9:02am) - This morning, Nintendo of America decided to inform potential consumers of the game products Nintendo will have available for the holidays, which includes Metroid Prime 2 (available now), the Nintendo DS dual-screened handheld, and a handful of other game products and hardware.
Unfortunately, Nintendo has failed to list worthwhile third party software for the GameCube. Because of this, I may as well just tell you to also look forward to games like Viewtiful Joe 2, Baten Katos, and, of course, the highly anticipated Price of Persia 2: Warrior Within. Whatever the case may be, Nintendo gamers have much too look forward this holiday season even if game’s like Resident Evil 4, Star Fox: Assault, and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap have been pushed into early next year. "Once again, video games and systems will be hot gifts for anyone with a wish list this holiday," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "With so many Nintendo products to choose from, no stocking should be left unstuffed." Nintendo DS
