DAREDEVIL FOR NINTENDO GAME BOY ADVANCE GOES GOLD

Videogame featuring the Marvel Comics Super Hero to release in conjunction

with Daredevil live-action film in February 2003

Los Angeles, CA - December 11, 2002 - Encore, a majority-owned subsidiary

of Navarre Corporation (NASDAQ: NAVR), today announced that its Nintendo

Game Boy® Advance version of Marvel's Daredevil™ has gone gold. The game

is anticipated on store shelves in conjunction with the February 2003

premiere of the highly anticipated New Regency/ 20th Century Fox/Marvel

Studios Daredevil movie starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. The "E"

rated game -- which incorporates many elements of the feature film

including its characters, costumes, and Hell's Kitchen, New York

setting -- will retail for approximately $30.

Said Michael Bell, Encore's CEO, "The momentum for Daredevil has been

building, and anticipation is high both for the movie and the videogame.

We believe that Daredevil for Nintendo Game Boy Advance will appeal not

only to gamers, Daredevil fans and comic book enthusiasts, but also to

those who are excited about the movie. Daredevil's intriguing character,

a compelling storyline and gritty New York locations from the film are

perfect for creating a great gaming experience."

Added Russ Brown, Executive Vice President, Consumer Products, Promotions

& Media Sales at Marvel Enterprises, Inc., "The legacy of the comic

books, the upcoming film, super-star status for Ben Affleck and Jennifer

Garner, and a strong videogame all combine to make Daredevil a very strong

brand. We are eagerly anticipating the movie premiere and videogame

launch in February."

Daredevil Battles the Kingpin™ in New York's Hell's Kitchen

New York's crime gangs have escalated their activities to intolerable

levels, and Daredevil is out to stop them. In this action-filled

sidescroller, players get to be Daredevil as he fights his way through the

underbelly of New York's Hell's Kitchen to defeat these criminals and

their boss, the Kingpin. Daredevil will run, jump, fight and perform

acrobatic maneuvers as he battles with the Kingpin, Elektra™, Bullseye™,

and the Sewer King™, as well as ninjas and mafia thugs.

A unique feature of the game will be "Radar Sense," which will allow

Daredevil to see invisible enemies and find hidden items. The game will

also feature 23 levels; gritty New York settings from the movie; and lots

of power-ups, hidden items and game secrets based on movie details such as

Ben Affleck's and Jennifer Garner's costumes.
