[07-26-99 2:00 PM ET] THE LEARNING COMPANY MATTEL UNIT TO DEVELOP AND PUBLISH EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE WORLDWIDE BASED ON NINTENDO'S VIDEO GAME PHENOMENON CALLED POKEMON.

"...The Learning Company will bring Nintendo's coveted Pokémon to market on its first CD-ROM appearance with two titles to be introduced this fall.

The popularity of Pokémon is based on the concept of collecting, developing and trading over 150 separate creatures. Since its introduction to the United States in September, Pokémon has become an overnight booming phenomenon. It's a top selling video game property, #1 rated kid's television show in U.S. syndication, as well as a #1 show on the Warner Bros. Television Network. Other Pokémon products include toys, trading cards and home videos, for a total of 90 licensed franchises, many of which are breaking all sales records.

"We are thrilled to introduce Pokémon to an entirely new audience of fans by combining its global popularity with innovative software technology," says Greg Bestick*, president of The Learning Company. "Kids love the fun that Pokémon provides, and parents and teachers will appreciate the software's educational content."

"It makes perfect sense to align with The Learning Company," says Gail Tilden, vice president of product acquisition and development of Nintendo. "Pokémon is adored by millions of children around the world, and we hope this new educational software will help them get excited about learning though the computer."

Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, is the acknowledged worldwide leader in the creation of interactive entertainment. To date, Nintendo has sold more than one billion video games worldwide, created such industry icons as Mario and Donkey Kong and launched franchises like The Legend of Zelda and Pokémon..."
