Nintendo, AOL Tout Revolution Sweeps

Calling all gamers: Nintendo and AOL.com are on a mission to give one video-game playing consumer the ultimate opportunity to be the first in the world to play Nintendo’s next home console system, Revolution.

To enter the First to Play sweepstakes, consumers register online at AOL.com/Nintendo-first-to-play. Three finalists will be chosen at random to attend Nintendo’s international media briefing on May 9 before the start of the Electronic Entertainment Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center—one of the largest video-game events in the industry. One finalist will be selected to appear on stage to play the new console at the show.

Shaped like a remote control, the Revolution will let users direct the action on the television screen through the motion of the controller itself. The next-gen gaming console, set for release this fall, is the latest offering from Nintendo.

The sweepstakes runs through Friday. Online materials support.
