             auditions in six markets across the country to find
             nearly 50 individuals, ages 18 and over, to enlist in the
             Nintendo Street Teams for the summer. The live "casting
             calls" took place in Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta,
             Boston, Seattle, and Chicago, where candidates were
             videotaped explaining why they deserved the ultimate
             summer job.

             The Nintendo Street Teams will be announced on July 1 and
             will receive intensive on-the-job-training at a 48-hour
             Nintendo "Boot Camp," scheduled in each city for July
             8-9. Then, beginning July 13, the Nintendo Street Teams
             will hit hot spots in their hometowns to give consumers
             a taste of Nintendo's latest games. Nintendo Street Team
             members will journal their fun and work experience, and
             give a peek into their lives on the Nintendo Street Team
             Web site, which will host the latest scoop on the team
             from all over the country.
