Get Paid to Play Nintendo Games this Summer

Teens Face Worst Job Market in Decades and Nintendo Wants to Help

REDMOND, Wash.--May 6, 2004--You know you're going to spend your whole summer sitting around playing video games anyway, so why not get paid for it? With the worst summer job market for teens since the end of World War II(a), Nintendo is looking to recruit 48 people for the Ultimate Summer Job: showcasing Nintendo video games at music, sporting and lifestyle events in six major markets throughout the summer. In addition to their salary of $100 per day for a three-day workweek, the lucky few who are selected will join one of six Nintendo Street Teams competing for a $40,000 team bonus. One consumer following the teams' activities via www.nintendostreetteam.com also will have a chance to win a cash prize of $5,000.
