Nintendo Gateway System Takes Off

NEW YROK -- Nintendo of America Inc. announce the introduction and initial
installation of the first interactive multimedia system delivering a broad
range of entertainment services to travelers on airplanes, cruise ships,
and in hotel rooms around the world.


The Nintendo Gateway System is an interactive interface designed to offer
video games, movies, CD audio, telphone, shopping, and other informational
services to consumers. The system combines the latest in digital
communications technology with a special version of the 16-bit Super
Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). The engineering of the system took
place over the last 18 months at Nintendo's research labs in Redmond, WA
and the system is also being manufactured in the United States.

"The Nintendo Gateway System will make traveling more entertaining and
informative in a thousand different ways, and there's nothing
technologically that limits its use exclusively to these venues," said
Peter Main, Nintendo's vice president, marketing.

According to the company, passengers will be able to choose from 10
different Super NES games, a range of 4 to 6 movie selections, audio CD
play, and phone, shopping and informational services that may include
baggage, transportation and weather data for their destination city.

Hughes-Avicom International currently has contracts with Northwest, Virgin
Atlantic, and China Airlines to install the system.
