REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 18, 2001--Nintendo of America Inc. today announced that Peter MacDougall, current president of Nintendo of Canada, will become executive vice president, sales and
marketing for Nintendo of America, effective Feb. 1, 2002. MacDougall will replace longtime NOA executive Peter Main, who has announced his retirement effective Jan. 31, 2002.

MacDougall joined Nintendo of Canada in 1989 and has overseen its explosive growth. In his new position, MacDougall will bring extensive
knowledge of global marketing stemming from international postings atNintendo, Gillette and Seagrams.

"Peter's unique qualifications make him ideally suited for this job," says Minoru Arakawa, president, Nintendo of America Inc. "His breadth of success is a distinct asset given the global nature of Nintendo's business."

Main will retire in January 2002 after 15 years at Nintendo. He joined Nintendo as vice president of marketing in April 1987, and
among his many honors was named Marketer of the Year by Adweek Magazine and Corporate Marketer of the Year by the Delaney Report.

"Sometimes the term `industry legend' is overused," adds Arakawa.

"But in the case of Peter Main, it is perfectly appropriate. Many common industry practices were literally invented by Peter over the last 15 years, and we would not have achieved our phenomenal success without him."
