Nintendo Fusion Tour is a touring rock/punk music and video game festival sponsored by Nintendo, which began in 2003.
Nintendo's Fusion Tour has provided early exposure for then-developing bands such as Evanescence, Story of the Year, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Anberlin and Panic! at the Disco. The outing has expanded from 25 dates in 2003 with 90,000 in attendance to 45 last year with more than 160,000, according to Nintendo.[1]
The 2006 Nintendo Fusion Tour had Nintendo DS games, including Mario Hoops 3-on-3, Star Fox Command, and Elite Beat Agents and playable demos for the Wii, including Wii Sports, Wii Play (just the Shooting Demo), ExciteTruck, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (although the latter two were removed from later tour dates due to software issues). Also present was the new Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game. As the most popular it was alloted two different stations to combat the huge lines it attracted.
There was no tour in 2007, Nintendo has not stated why, but it's assumed that the tour is either canceled or on hiatus. The tour's website now redirects to Nintendo.com
