Okay, if you haven't already heard, three new deals have been announced to enable Nintendo fans to save a few thousand pennies. The first two most people will know about, so if you have, scroll down to the third for the new news.. as it were...
UK SEVEN FREE TITLES OFFER
From now, until the 20th March - Nintendo are running a fantastic offer - buy a GameCube, and choose a free game out of seven top titles, each one a fantastic game in it's own right. The selection is:
Pikmin; Doshin The Giant; Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem; Luigi's Mansion; Wave Race: Blue Storm; NBA Courtside 2002; Disney's Magical Mirror.
UK PLAYER'S CHOICE RANGE
Due to popular demand, Nintendo have resurrected their popular 'Player's Choice' range for the next generation. As a big hit on the SNES and N64, the games will retail at around £20.00 each. To begin with, there's:
Super Smash Bros. Melee; Luigi's Mansion; Pikmin.
All classic titles, and Nintendo have announced that they'll be adding more games to the line up this year. No official launch date, as such, has been set but it's tipped to be quite soon.
US FOUR FREE TITLES OFFER
This is for all you up-to-date junkies out there :). It's recently been announced, that for a limited time in America, you can buy a Nintendo GameCube and get one of four top titles free. The four are:
Metroid Prime; Resident Evil Zero; Mario Party 4; Starfox Adventures.
This will be a great boost for Nintendo, as Metroid Prime and Resident Evil Zero sold excellently by themselves, and are continuing to do so. Mario Party 4 and Starfox Adventures are also big names. I'm just hoping that they'll bring this offer to the UK (it seems likely).

It was a Gamecube box with a ED logo on it and a picture of Alexis. Just like the Super Mario Sunshine Pak thing, which is a cube with a pic of mario on the box.
What? ED is in a special box? Or it's a special GC box?
Someone may have already mentioned it, but I have seena bundle, like the Mario Sunshine one, but with Eternal Darkness instead, in a special box.
Dag nammit, I've got all three titles in that Player's Choice selection. Why can't they have Wave Race in there? That came out on release day, and it'c certainly I'd snap up without's a moment hesitation.
Indeed. Metroid and Zelda are absolute day-of-release must haves.
You'd a whole year to play 2 of the best games ever just to save £20?
Madness.
Madness.
but what should i do now :S...i can buy big game names like zelda and prime, but also know that in a year or so they will be £20.
do i get other games i like, that wont match them, and then wait for a year.
cause the range will be nintendo only wont it?.

Yeah, it is a good idea indeed. Let's hope more people recognise the Gamecube.
i bet they will release star wars soon, seeming as i just got it :(
but then again i got it for £10.
although i have a GC i hope they do more offers like the one in america, i know a few mates who said they are waiting for free games to be added to bundles.
and now they have AND some big games coming this way zelda and prime, theres no better time...is there?
