Last
year, Nintendo introduced the Nintendo GameCube in Indigo and Jet
Black. Nearly one year later, Nintendo will finally unveil a new
color for the GameCube. On November 3rd, a limited edition Platinum
GameCube will hit store shelves across North America. The move comes
following the overwhelming market response to the Platinum Edition
of the handheld Game Boy Advance. The Platinum Edition Nintendo
GameCube will come packed in with a controller of the same color and
carry a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $149.95.
This announcement from Nintendo of America comes alongside news
of a Super Mario Sunshine GameCube
bundle due for release on October 14th. With the introduction of
these news systems alongside the release of Nintendo's top
franchises, the company appears well prepared to dominate this
holiday season.
Long-time GameCube fans will
remember when the console was first unveiled at Nintendo's
SpaceWorld 2000 in five unique colors including black, gold, indigo,
pink, and silver.
Before the final launch colors were announced, gaming site IGN.com
polled nearly 14,000 individuals and found that the most desired
GameCube color was silver with an overwhelming 42% of all votes.
Platinum will likely please quite a few Nintendo fans later this
year.
