The long awaited announcement updating Nintendo's 2002 release schedule has finally come. In a press release issued today,
Nintendo revealed the release date of Super Mario Sunshine, the
delay of StarFox Adventures, and reconfirmed earlier-released
details on Eternal Darkness and the Wavebird Controller.
Nintendo
has announced that Super Mario Sunshine is scheduled for release on
August 26, 2002. In just five short months, GameCube owners will
experience the first action-adventure platform release of Mario since
Mario 64. View screens from Super Mario Sunshine .
StarFox Adventures, a joint development effort by the world-renowned
game designers at RARE and Nintendo, has been delayed from its
originally-scheduled June
10, 2002 release to this fall. The MSRP for the title is $49.95.
The highly anticipated Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem from
second-party developer Silicon Knights will hit stores on June
24, 2002. Rated "M" for mature by the ESRB,
this game offers spine-tingling thrills for $49.95.
Meanwhile in the accessories department, Nintendo will release its
WaveBird Controller on June 24, 2002
with a very affordable $39.99 sticker. The Wavebird controller will be the first wireless controller to
be made standard by a first party manufacturer. The controller's title lends
itself to GameCube's original "Dolphin" project name. The
controller's RF signal is expected to be reliable for up to ten meters - an
impressive benchmark in wireless controllers.
Nintendo intends to finally release a memory card larger than the
dismal .5MB card currently available. The Memory Card 251, to be
released on June 24, 2002, will
offer consumers more storage capacity for saving GameCube games at a
price of $19.95.
