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

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.

they should make a mario shell surfing game

nickmitchJuly 06, 2005

Super Shell Surfing! Or just SSS for short.

WackerJrJuly 07, 2005

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?

ThePermJuly 07, 2005

imagine a surfing/skating game.....you cna skate on land or surf in the sea...pretty much ride on any surface...including the clouds

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

rabicle are you allowed to have a swear word on your avatar? (some see it as) O.o

RABicleJuly 09, 2005

We'll see. I managed to have an avatar 150 pixels wide for a week or so.

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