REDMOND, Wash.--Aug. 31, 2004--They completed a Nintendo scavenger hunt, created a cyber mural and instigated a flash mob. After a summer of fun and video games, the Dallas chapter of the Nintendo Street Team has walked away with the ultimate reward for their hard work: a $40,000 bonus, distributed equally among the eight members. That bonus complements their regular salaries of $100 a day for six weeks of three-day workweeks.
