REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Leaves won’t be the only things turning gold this fall as Nintendo prepares to launch an extraordinary lineup of games for its Wii™, Nintendo 3DS™ and Nintendo DS™ game systems. At a recent meeting of GameStop retail store managers from across the United States, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing Scott Moffitt revealed new details about upcoming releases for several fan-favorite franchises: A special limited-edition The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword bundle containing the game and a gold* Wii Remote™ Plus controller will be available when the game launches on Nov. 20.
Also for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, every copy in the initial production of the game will come packaged with a special music CD featuring orchestral arrangements of select songs that will be performed at The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert. Nintendo will launch the upcoming Tetris®: Axis game for Nintendo 3DS systems on Oct. 2. The Professor Layton and the Last Specter™ game for the Nintendo DS family of systems will launch Oct. 17. “Nintendo has something for you this fall, no matter what type of gamer you are, no matter what Nintendo system you’re playing,” said Moffitt. “Whether you’re looking for a world-spanning epic like The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, the pick-up-and-play puzzle fun of Tetris: Axis or the mind-bending adventure of Professor Layton and the Last Specter, we’ve got you covered.” The limited-edition gold controller bundle for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be offered at a suggested retail price of $69.99. The game will also be sold separately at a suggested retail price of $49.99, though the gold controller will only be available as part of the special bundle. As an additional 25th anniversary treat for fans who purchase the game early, every copy in the initial production, whether sold by itself or as a part of the limited-edition bundle, will come with a free CD featuring select orchestral arrangements of iconic music spanning the history of the franchise which will be performed at The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert performances in October 2011. For more information about The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, visit http://www.zelda.com/skywardsword. The original portable Tetris® game was a smash hit on the Game Boy™ system. The new Tetris: Axis game lets players use the magic of the Nintendo 3DS system to jump into the action in 3D without the need for special glasses. The game includes more than 20 different modes – some familiar, some new. Up to eight players can compete in wireless multiplayer battles, even if only one player has a game card**. Tetris: Axis also makes use of the augmented-reality and SpotPass™ features of Nintendo 3DS. Tetris: Axis is part of a stirring fall lineup for Nintendo 3DS that also includes Pokémon™ Rumble Blast (launching Oct. 24), Super Mario 3D Land™ (November) and Mario Kart™ 7 (December). Professor Layton and the Last Specter for the Nintendo DS family of systems is the fourth installment in the Professor Layton puzzle adventure series. It begins a new trilogy that is a prequel to the original games, set three years before the events in Professor Layton and the Curious Village™. The game contains more puzzles than any in the series to date. As a North American exclusive to the overall Professor Layton and the Last Specter package, a bonus role-playing game called Professor Layton’s London Life™ containing more than 100 hours of additional content will be available to players from the start of the game.Nintendo press releaseBeautiful!

I wonder just how long this initial run of the game will last in order to get that CD. I'd hate to open it up on Christmas Day and when it was bought it was too late and there's no CD I would hope Nintendo would make sure that any copy bought before Christmas would include the CD.

@missypissyrofl... thanks Someone on Zelda Universe cropped the cover art into an avatar and it looks really nice. Someone else decided to modify Link's face to match a character he had created for a comic or something. A few others decided to as well, and now there's about 2 dozen of us over there with various versions. This is the original spoof: Here are some others:

@EarendilI just assumed that your icon was taken from a time after Majora's Mask. After collecting all the masks, Link has a psychological break, deciding to carve the face off of the Happy Mask Salesman. Thus becoming the new salesman along with his large collection of masks.

Don't tell anyone... or your face becomes the next mask.

Simbabbad said: It's not my idea to justify a full retail price tag with a "story" instead of selling the riddles in cheaper downloadable packs, like it should. Disagree 100%. I think it would lose a lot by being puzzles only, and I'd bet most Layton fans would agree. Although I do agree with you on more than it may seem. The franchise is definitely hitting fatigue point, and the story twists are getting kind of predictable by this point. I really, really enjoy Layton games and will probably keep buying them, but it seems very likely to me that it will hit diminishing returns territory soon if they don't do something drastic to change things up. I wonder if the 3DS version makes any real changes? I haven't really looked into it.

@CB200If that doesn't make it here I'm going to start a revolt that's going to make Operation Rainfall look like a disorganized rabble.

Don't have a WM+ controller yet, so this is a no-brainer purchase.

The gameplay concept does not intrigue me to professor layton. This video comic of its story, however, does:
