same day the game ships on its own at $49.99, but the gold controller will be sold only as part of the bundle, NOA said Monday. Details of the new bundle were provided by Scott Moffitt, executive vice president of sales and marketing, at a recent meeting of GameStop retail store managers from across the U.S., NOA said. It said that, as an additional 25th anniversary offering for fans of the Zelda game series who buy the new title early, each copy “in the initial production, whether sold by itself or as a part of the limited-edition bundle, will come with a free CD” including certain orchestral arrangements of music spanning the history of the franchise. The music will be performed at The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert performances in October, it said. The company also said the game Tetris: Axis for the 3DS, shipping Oct. 2, will make use of the handheld 3D system’s augmented reality and SpotPass features. The original portable Tetris game “was a smash hit on the Game Boy system,” it said. The title will be part of a strong 3DS fall lineup that also includes Pokemon -- Rumble Blast (Oct. 24), Super Mario 3D Land (November) and Mario Kart 7 (December), it said. Also shipping will be Professor Layton and the Last Specter for the Nintendo DS family of systems, Oct. 17, it said. The title is the fourth entry in the Professor Layton puzzle adventure series, and begins a new trilogy that is a prequel to the original games, NOA said. As a North American exclusive to the Professor Layton and the Last Specter package, a bonus role-playing game, Professor Layton’s London Life containing more than 100 hours of additional content, will be available to players from the start of the game, it said.
