London, UK � 3rd June 2003 � Ubi Soft Entertainment, one of the world's leading video game publishers, is pleased to announce that in conjunction with Nintendo, it will produce NINTENDO GAMECUBE playable demo disks to mark the launch of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell on the console in June 2003.

The demo will consist of an introductory trailer and one level from the Chinese Embassy 2 map in the game, where Sam Fisher must use his stealth abilities to the highest level. It will also include the unique Game Boy Advance connectivity features such as the radar, the wall mine and the sticky bomb.

"We're delighted to be Nintendo's chosen partner in bringing interactive game demos to the public," said Ubi Soft's UK Marketing Director John Parkes.
