Go Pokémon crazy this summer with the launch of the incredible Pokémon Colosseum Mega Pak. Included in the Mega Pak is a black Nintendo GameCube, a copy of the new game Pokémon Colosseum, the Pokédex organiser - Pokémon Box, a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Link Cable and a Memory Card 251 that will give you plenty of space to save your Pokémon game.

The Pokémon Colosseum Mega Pak is available from 14th May 2004 across Europe at the estimated retail price of 159 Euros.

Pokémon Colosseum is the first Pokémon game for a home console to feature not only an amazing Battle Mode, but also a fully 3D Pokémon adventure, and is available exclusively on Nintendo GameCube. A new lead character and his partner in the story mode help players to rescue Pokémon that have been captured by an evil entity that is misusing the Pokémon for its own benefit.

In the battle mode, Pokémon fans can battle against up to four friends in two-player versus two-player combat. In multiplayer battles, one player uses the Nintendo GameCube controller and additional players are linked to the game via their Game Boy Advance systems and Pokémon Ruby or Pokémon Sapphire game.

With this exclusive offer players not only get the game, but also a sleek black Nintendo GameCube on which to play it!

Additionally, the Pokémon Colosseum Mega Pak also gives players the opportunity to experiment with the much talked about Pokémon Box. This unique device is an extension of the Pokédex found in the Game Boy Advance games Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire. It gives players a truly interactive experience, allowing them to display, organise and store a total of 1500 Pokémon captured in Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire in a structured, full 3D format on the big screen.

Players can also play Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire on the big screen through the Pokémon Box without using a Game Boy Player. Players will also be able to take pictures from Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire and use them as background images on their Pokémon Box. This is an all new, never seen before feature!

Finally, players can get their hands on a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Link Cable and a Memory Card 251, both included in the Mega Pak. This is an offer not to be missed!

Pokemon Colosseum launches in Europe on 14th May 2004 for the estimated retail price of around 60 Euros. A free Memory Card 59 is included with each game.

Pokémon Colosseum comes to Nintendo GameCube in the first ever 3D role-playing game adventure in the legendary franchise

7th Mar 2004

With the total number of Pokémon games sold worldwide exceeding 120million and the hugely successful Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire for Game Boy Advance having sold over 2.4 million in Europe, the Pokémon phenomenon continues. Pokémon Colosseum allows you to explore, train, snag and battle your Pokémon like never before! You can even connect your GBA Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire cartridges and bring your own Pokémon over from these games into Pokémon Colosseum to use them in battles.

Pokémon Colosseum can be played in two modes - Story Mode and Battle Mode. Pokémon Colosseum contains lots of the trademark elements that millions love in the Game Boy Advance games as well as many new elements. Story Mode is a 3D role-playing game, never before experienced in any Pokémon game. Set in a mysterious area far from Hoenn, you can explore with the new lead character and his partner to rescue the "Shadow Pokémon" unseen in Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire. "Shadow Pokémon" are Pokémon whose hearts have been closed to the outside world. Players can unravel the mystery of these "Shadow Pokémon" and try to cure them of their 'darkness' by using them in battles.

In 3D Battle Mode, players battle Pokémon to become legendary fighters within the Colosseum. Pokémon fans can battle against up to four friends in two-player versus two-player combat. In multiplayer battles, one player uses the GameCube controller and additional players are linked to the game via their Game Boy Advance systems and Pokémon Ruby or Pokémon Sapphire game. Connect up your Game Boy Advance consoles via the Nintendo link cable to maximise the multi-player action and take the competition to the next level by inputting your commands in secret into your handheld screen.

All battles commence within the Colosseum arena with battle backdrops ranging from huge industrial stadiums to lush waterfall-filled stages. Pokémon Colosseum contains Pokémon characters from previous titles including everyone's favourites Groudon and Kyogre. So grab your mates and get gaming with Pokémon!

Pokémon Colosseum will be available across Europe from 14th May 2004 for the estimated retail price of around 60 Euros.
