This year Nintendo will roll out an exciting and extensive program to provide consistent, year-round exposure to consumers.

In the first group, Nintendo will have six teams scattered around the country. Each team will have two members, as well as an SUV tricked out in full Nintendo gear. Each SUV will have five mounted Nintendo GameCube stations (two inside, three outside) and two Game Boy Advance SP interactive belts for members, with four GBA SP units on each belt. The SUV also will feature a custom sound system. This portion of the Street Team will be active throughout the year.
In the second group, one team will be stationed on each coast and outfitted with a fully customized truck and a trailer that opens to reveal Nintendo GameCube interactive stations. The trailer will feature 10 Nintendo GameCube stations, as well as GBA SP belts for team members and staffers. It will also have a custom sound system. These members of the Street Teams will be active throughout the year.

Nintendo Fusion Tour
Program Timeline: September to October
Participating Cities: Major cities to be announced

This is Nintendo's second tour of this kind. It features a unique fusion of music, video games and lifestyle events. The 2003 Nintendo Fusion Tour showcased Evanescence, one of the most popular groups in the country. The 2004 event will similarly feature some of todays hottest musical talent, and will give attendees a chance to play a great lineup of new games for Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance.

It is important to note that dates and venues are subject to change.

In addition, Minagawa said, "Like our Nintendo DS portable game machine, our home game machine must offer an experience that can be enjoyed by adults, children, or women. We would like to show this at E3 next spring." And they will. According to Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun, who quotes senior Nintendo executives, Nintendo's next home console will be shown at E3. However, the E3 in everyone's minds is not the E3 Nintendo plans to show the N5 off at. Nintendo plans to have the N5 ready for E3 2005, not E3 2004 which is just three months away.
