The company is taking a three-pronged approach to goosing sales. First, it will offer one of four games for free with the $149.95 GameCube:
Metroid Prime, Star Fox Adventures, Mario Party 4 or
Resident Evil 0.
Second, Nintendo has cut the price of its
Super Mario Sunshine bundle, which includes the game, the console, and an external memory card. Formerly priced $189.95, Nintendo lowered the bundle to $159.95.
Finally, Nintendo is cutting prices on a number of older Gamecube games.
Luigi's Mansion and
Super Smash Bros. Melee, among others, are being reduced from $49.95 to $29.95.
