    “The video game industry has never had so many new players, and they’ve
never had so much fun,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive
vice president of sales & marketing. “Our momentum is not limited to one
system or one game. We’re going broad and bold in 2008, with something for
every member of the family.”
    Nintendo DS and Wii finished as the No. 1 and No. 2 best-selling systems
of the year, respectively. Nintendo continues its momentum into 2008 with a
strong lineup of games. In the first half of 2008 alone, more than 65 new Wii
games will add to the current library of more than 195 and 80 new Nintendo DS
games will add to the current library of nearly 500. Nintendo DS opens the
first half of the year with games that demonstrate the breadth of the Nintendo
DS library. Advance Wars(R): Days of Ruin is a treat aimed squarely at core
gamers, while Crosswords DS(TM) is for all consumers, whether they currently
play games or not.
    Likewise, the first half of 2008 brings a diverse array of Wii games from
Nintendo, including core games like Super Smash Bros.(R) Brawl; games with
universal appeal for gamers old and new with Mario Kart(R) Wii, which uses the
easy-to-pick-up Wii Wheel(TM); and Wii Fit(TM), which comes with the Wii
Balance Board and has appeal for new consumers well beyond the traditional
video game audience. On top of all that, new downloadable WiiWare(TM) games
will make their debut. These unique games have much lower entry barriers for
developers and let consumers enjoy an incredibly diverse selection of content.
    Third-party publishers also continue their strong support for Wii and
Nintendo DS. Some of the innovative Wii games for the first half of 2008
include Ninja Reflex from Electronic Arts, No More Heroes(TM) from Ubisoft,
DeBlob from THQ, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed from LucasArts and Okami from
Capcom, in addition to compelling Nintendo DS games like FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL
CHRONICLES: Rings of Fate from Square Enix, Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword from
Tecmo and Quick Yoga Training from Ubisoft.
