Nintendo is currently touring the country, promoting summer fitness and fun with their Wii Games 2010 tournament. The competition pits teams of 2 to 4 players against rivals in their respective age groups for a chance to win great prizes, including a trip to Los Angeles to compete in a national tournament.
I checked out the Wii Games event held in Virginia this weekend, and it was pretty spectacular. You had players young and old competing for Wii supremacy in games such as Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports Resort. For those not competing, Nintendo has plenty of free-play booths set up for attendees to take part in. Those games included the likes of Just Dance, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and Super Mario Galaxy 2. And just by playing a few games, you could take home a few cool prizes including 1-up mushroom tins, mascot pins and plush dolls of Mario and friends.
Nintendo also set up a booth for folks to pick up a free custom t-shirt (I even got one too, as you’ll see in the video above). Overall, the event is a ton of fun for anyone who attends. And it’s probably the best free activity you’ll take part in all summer.
If you’re ready to brawl, or just more of a casual player, make sure you check out a Wii Games event in your area. For more information, visit the link below.
