Nintendo's Cube Clubs Gear Up for Second Nationwide Tour
Nintendo Showcases Best Holiday Games Coast-to-Coast
REDMOND, Wash.--Oct. 1, 2002--Let's get the party started!
Nintendo of America Inc. is returning with the phenomenally successful
Nintendo Cube Club Tour, hitting 15 cities across the nation, starting
October 17.
Combining unparalleled excitement for Nintendo's strongest holiday
video game lineup with a trendy look and off-the-hook rhythms,
Nintendo's Cube Clubs will rival the nation's hottest nightspots.
From October 17 to December 21, Nintendo, joined by co-sponsors
Panasonic and Snapple, are transforming vacant spaces in 15 cities and
turning them in to `ultimate gaming club' scenes. In each city, Cube
Club guests will have seven days to experience not-yet-released
NINTENDO GAMECUBE(TM) and Game Boy(R) Advance games, state-of-the-art
audio and visual systems, refreshments, and local DJ's with
cutting-edge music. The Cube Clubs offer everything you'd expect to
see in a city's hottest nightspot but without the dress code, cover
charge or $10 drinks.

incredible enthusiasm from the thousands of fans who attended last
year," says Peter MacDougall, executive vice president, sales and
marketing, Nintendo of America Inc. "Our games are fun and full of
kinetic energy, and the Cube Clubs are a direct extension of that pure
passion for video games."

stations, Panasonic electronics and a variety of beverages provided by
Snapple, each Cube Club will feature:
