NINTENDO MAKES WAVES AS PROUD PRESENTER OF RIP CURL'S GROMSEARCH 2005

July 6, 2005

Groms rejoice! Nintendo has solved the timeless summertime dilemma: to surf or to game? This summer, the nations' top 6- to16-year-old surfers, known as "grommets," can do both. Nintendo is pleased to announce that it is the presenting sponsor of the Rip Curl GromSearch 2005 national surfing competition. Nintendo is on board at GromSearch events coast-to-coast to provide video game fun in the sun for groms and their fans.

Groms at each location will get buffed out with Nintendo prizes and will bask in the summer's hottest Nintendo game play with new titles for Game Boy Advance® SP including WarioWareTM Twisted! and Mario Golf TM: Advance Tour. Each event also will dub one aggro grom as winner of the "Nintendo Wave of the Day" award, honoring each day's best overall ride.

Between now and Nov. 7, Nintendo and Rip Curl will bring the interactive and energetic vibe of the GromSearch to nine North American beaches. All events are free and open to the public. For a list of dates and locations, please visit www.ripcurl.com.
