Tour will feature Nintendo DS giveaways and live music.

Nintendo Co., Ltd. has announced further details on its second annual Nintendo Fusion Tour, which will start on September 18 in Phoenix.

The tour, which spans 37 cities this year, "brings together alternative and punk rock music and gaming with hotly tipped headliners Story of The Year and support acts lostprophets, My Chemical Romance, Letter Kills, Anberlin and Autopilot Off." Each stop on the tour will feature specially designed kiosks demoing the hottest upcoming GameCube titles. Fans can also expect a "sneak preview" of the Nintendo DS handheld as well as giveaways at each show; one lucky radio station winner will even get a chance to compete against a member of Story of The Year.

Story of The Year singer Dan Marsala commented, "Touring with these bands means there's a whole new group of guys we can beat up on while playing Nintendo video games on the bus!"
