Gaming News - G4TV: Nintendo Announces Nationwide Gaming Contest

Nintendo this morning announced a nationwide contest for gaming, opening to everyone. The Wii Games: Summer 2010 will be hosted by Olympian Shawn Johnson, and will offer prizes for winners in five activities: Basketball and Bowling in Wii Sports Resort, the Hula Hoop challenge from Wii Fit Plus, the platforming adventure of New Super Mario Bros. Wii and the high-speed racing thrills of Mario Kart Wii.

After the initial run of games, qualifying winners will travel to Los Angeles for the Wii Games: Summer 2010 national championships, where they’ll be eligible to win prizes like Nintendo systems, games, a cruise, trophies and the "national exposure that comes with victory."

You'll be able to participate in mid-July and mid-August, with tournaments held on five consecutive weekends at eight Six Flags theme parks in California, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Massachusetts and New Jersey. Additional tournament events will be held at 16 shopping malls across the country.
