Title: Mario Meets Surfing
Post by: Karl Castaneda #2 on July 06, 2005, 03:19:02 PM

Well, not yet. But for now you'll just have to settle with Nintendo teaming up with Rip Curl.

July 6, 2005    

     Dude, Didja Know?    

     Nintendo Makes Waves as Proud Presenter of Rip Curl's GromSearch 2005    

     Groms rejoice! Nintendo has solved the timeless summertime dilemma:  to   surf or to game?  This summer, the nations' top 6 to 16-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(R) SP including WarioWare(TM) 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.

Surely it would be an idea to let them play games like Wave Race: BS as well as things like Mario Golf?

Or maybe even take this opportunity to announce Wave Race DS?

When I told Nintendo "don't team up with Rusty again" this isn't what I meant.

Swear words? Where? I see nothing potentially offensive that isn't in the PGC forum logo.
