March 15, 2005 - In an attempt to capture teen interest, Nintendo will soon launch a sweeping marketing campaign with a decidedly hip twist. The company plans to present hands-on demonstrations of its latest wares, including GameCube and Nintendo DS titles, at select hipster locales across the nation.

"Thousands of teens and college students will have the opportunity to sample, play and enjoy the hottest new Nintendo systems and games," describes George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Nintendo is reaching out to teens and college students, and now they're making us a part of their lifestyles."

Members of the Nintendo Street Team will raid several hot spots, ranging from college campuses and beaches to snowy slopes and packed concert shows. To start, Nintendo will strike Panama City Beach, Fla. with the newest games and its "tricked-out" Nintendo SUV. Also, the Boardwalk Beach Resort at Hammerhead Fred's will play host to Club DS, where players can try the latest DS games. Head below for further events and details.
