Two giants in the world of video game developers, Nintendo and Electronic Arts, have just announced a new partnership that will include exclusive features for connected play between the Nintendo GameCube console and the Game Boy Advance. This creative endeavour will be led by EA, along with Nintendo's legendary producer, Shigeru Miyamoto, who will provide input on technical aspects of game play elements. The first three titles to support connection between the two systems will be FIFA 2004, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 and Madden NFL 2004. These three titles will be released in Europe later this year, and over the next 12 months EA plans to release another 20 GameCube titles from their EA Sports, EA Games, and EA Sports Big brands; some of these are expected to support connection to the Game Boy Advance.
Using a link cable to connect the two gaming systems together, players will be able to exchange various forms of data, unlock new game levels, or use the Game Boy Advance as a supplemental game screen or controller. 'Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance link up to bring gamers enhanced gameplay, and allows developers to stretch their creativity in unique and original ways.' says David Gosen, Managing Director, Nintendo of Europe.'This alliance with EA will build this connectivity into some of the world's most popular entertainment franchises and demonstrates EA's commitment to Nintendo.'
FIFA 2004 is set for release this autumn, with Madden NFL 2004 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 scheduled for release this August and October respectively.
