Nintendo has announced today the first-ever “Wii Games: Summer 2010” national competition. Beginning July 16 with a large-scale kick-off event in Liberty State Park in New Jersey and culminating in a national championship event in Los Angeles Sept. 3-5, the Wii Games: Summer 2010 competition will include tournament events in 24 markets across the nation. People are encouraged to come vie for top scores as they get active with Nintendo’s motion-control video games.
Open to kids, teens, adults, seniors and families, the Wii Games: Summer 2010 events will be focused on five activities:
- Basketball and Bowling in Wii Sports Resor
- Hula Hoop challenge from Wii Fit Plus
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii
- Mario Kar Wii.
Between mid-July and mid-August, tournaments will be held on five consecutive weekends at eight Six Flags theme parks in California, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Massachusetts and New Jersey, highlighting Nintendo’s ongoing relationship with Six Flags. Additional tournament events will be held at 16 shopping malls across the country. Participants can compete for prizes or just show up to have fun.
Qualifying winners will travel to Los Angeles for the Wii Games: Summer 2010 national championships, where they’ll be eligible to win Nintendo systems and games, home entertainment packages, a cruise, trophies and the national exposure that comes with victory. Throughout the summer, Olympic gold medalist and Dancing with the Stars champion Shawn Johnson will serve as the Wii Games: Summer 2010 Ambassador for the competition. Johnson will appear at select Wii Games: Summer 2010 events.
“I play Wii games with my friends and family all the time, “It makes my taco pop!” said Shawn Johnson, a medal-winning gymnast at the 2008 Olympic Summer Games. (Ok I made that last part up. So sue me

Wii Games: Summer 2010 is part of Nintendo’s relationship with the American Heart Association to promote healthy lifestyles.

Categories will include Teen, Adult and Super Adult, plus combined categories in which adults and younger players can compete together with friends or as a family. Participants’ best scores in all five featured activities will be combined to determine their total scores. An online sweepstakes will also be held to allow additional consumers to participate in the Wii Games: Summer 2010 national championships.
