This morning, Acclaim Sports announced that the Nintendo 64 version of NFL QBC 2000 is set to launch. It will start shipping to stores on Thursday, August 26. Acclaim is kicking off the game's multimillion dollar marketing campaign with TV commercials that feature Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre.
"Acclaim Sports took every step to ensure that the premier football title, NFL Quarterback Club 2000, would ship in time for the start of the NFL season,'' states Acclaim Sports senior marketing manager Michael Jerchower. "We have fully integrated the NFL's most popular player, Brett Favre, into our multifaceted marketing campaign.''
Acclaim will complement Favre's TV appearances with national print ads that will span gaming and sports publications, as well as with extensive promotions on several major online sites.
A Dreamcast version of NFL QBC 2000 is also scheduled for release sometime in the fall.
