Nintendo Sheds Light on '99 Releases

After a holiday season that many will call successful (let's face it, Nintendo did very well in the face of Sony, with fewer, yet bigger-name titles), Nintendo has put the finishing touches on its first half of its 1999 release date schedule.

There are a few surprises within the lineup, mostly centering around Game Boy Color titles - with Pokemon Pinball (the first game to use Nintendo's force feedback cartridge for the Game Boy), Super Mario Bros. (the original), and R-Type Plus. But also new for the Nintendo 64 is Tetris 64, developed by H2O Entertainment for Nintendo.
