Redmond, WA (October 8, 2004) - Nintendo today announced a presale
program for Metroid Prime 2 Echoes
From Nintendo:
Starting Oct. 11, Metroid fans will receive a free Metroid-themed T-shirt
from select retailers when they place a deposit to reserve a copy of the hottest
video game of the holidays, Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, exclusively for the Nintendo

Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, launching Nov. 15, is a heart-pounding first-person
adventure game that finds bounty hunter Samus Aran trapped on a world torn
between light and dark. Special weapons and ammo help her fight off a slew of
enemies as a mysterious entity hunts her. Players use weapons and abilities like
Light and Dark Beams, Space Jump, Grapple Beam or Morph Ball to confront
opponents and overcome obstacles. For the first time in the Metroid franchise,
up to four players can compete in multiplayer mode.
From the beginning, Metroid games have captured the imaginations of players
through creative stories, awesome battles and innovative power-ups. The star of
the series, bounty hunter Samus Aran, was the first heroine to surprise the
video game scene. Through the years, Metroid fans have proved themselves to be
among the most loyal of any series, making this opportunity for a free gift all
the more rewarding. Metroid Prime 2 Echoes will sell at an MSRP of $49.99.
Retailers participating in the Metroid Prime 2 Echoes T-shirt pre-sell offer
include Circuit City, Game Crazy, GameStop and Electronics Boutique. Metroid
Prime 2 Echoes is Rated T for Teen (Animated Blood, Violence). The hip T-shirt
features a Samus name tag on the front and a bounty hunter logo on the back.
