Rockwell Collins to
offer Nintendo games on eTES-equipped aircraft
How high can Mario jump? Thirty-five thousand feet? Some airline
passengers will soon find out as they pass their in-flight time
playing popular video games, thanks to an alliance between Rockwell
Collins and Nintendo. Rockwell Collins’ in-flight
entertainment system, eTESTM, will offer a selection of more than
30 Nintendo Game Boy games on select twin-aisle aircraft.
“We are very pleased to be working with Nintendo to offer
this popular game suite and globally recognized brand to our
growing list of eTES customers,” said Neil James, director of
Rockwell Collins’ enCompass Group.
Nintendo’s
high-quality Game Boy Color video games represent the kind of
diverse and entertaining applications that eTES offers to enhance
the in-flight experience for airline passengers. The eTES system
uses a standard Microsoft Windows platform to enable ease of
porting a rich variety of third-party entertainment options for
passengers.
“This significant evolution in entertainment services for
airline passengers will enable Nintendo video games to be
experienced seamlessly from the home to the sky, giving passengers
the same truly interactive fun while traveling,” said C.
Peter Eck, Nintendo of America’s director of Nintendo Gateway
Products. “We look forward to working closely with Rockwell
Collins and its customers to ensure the best video game experience
possible for their passengers.”
