Nintendo and AOL.com Seek the First Consumer to Play Revolution

Apr 21, 2006


Sweepstakes Winner Will be First in the World to Play Nintendo's Next Home Console



Nintendo and AOL.com are in hot pursuit to pick one lucky video game fan to fly to Los Angeles to be the first in the world to play Nintendo's next home console, code-named Revolution.

After signing up at www.aol.com/nintendo-first-to-play, three finalists for Nintendo's First-to-Play Sweepstakes will attend Nintendo's international media briefing on May 9 prior to the start of the Electronics Entertainment Expo, the most important video game industry event of the year. The winner will appear on stage to experience the new console in front of thousands of top industry insiders and reporters.

"No consumer has ever played this new Nintendo system before," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "But more importantly, no one has ever interacted with video games in this way before. Our next home console will revolutionize how people play and experience video games."

The new Nintendo console will open the world of video games to new audiences through the use of its innovative controller. Shaped like a remote control, it allows users to direct the action on the television screen through the motion of the controller itself.

"As one of the leading game destinations on the Web, we are thrilled to partner with Nintendo to give our AOL Games community the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be the very first person to play the highly anticipated Revolution console," said Ralph Rivera, Vice President & General Manager, AOL Games.

People can enter the sweepstakes between April 21 and April 28 by registering at www.aol.com/nintendo-first-to-play. Entrants do not need to be members of AOL. Three finalists chosen at random will fly with one guest each for a two-night stay in Los Angeles. The three finalists will enjoy VIP seating at Nintendo's media briefing in Hollywood at the Kodak Theatre, home to the Oscars. One of the finalists will be selected at random to step onto the stage and usher in the new era of video games. Entrants must be 18 or older.

I think its a great idea, it would be pretty cool to be the first one to play a system. It reminds me of the Wizard where they got to try SMB3. You know I always wondered how he knew about the whistle if they were the first ones to play. Part of me would love to see it crash and burn at the same time. I think it would be hilarious if the person got up there and couldn't get the controller to work right or if he/she kept dying. It would be like the MS launch of Windows where it crashed all over again

I entered. I'll have to get some ball implants to go if I actually win though.

"Uhh, hey guys, I'm not going to be able to come into work for these three days. Yeah, I know this isn't enough of an advance notice but uh, Nintendo is going to fly me to L.A. so I can play videogames."

I think everyone who has been on the net for more than 5 years thought of Threebrain the second they heard this bullshit.

Nintendo better hope the DS doesn't start to flounder or they can join Sega in the loser's bracket.
