The first in a long line of SSBB Tournaments
Playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl earlier than the rest of North America is a treat in itself but Nintendo and Best Buy are teaming up to offer this opportunity to a fortunate few and throwing in some nice prizes to boot!
Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournaments will begin sweeping across America starting in Los Angeles and San Fransisco, then to Boston and finally in New York where the tournament will be held during the midnight madness launch event for the game itself.
“Each regional tournament will provide the first 256 people in attendance the chance to “brawl” one-on-one with other contestants in a single-elimination tournament to determine a winner in each market. Regional winners will face off in a final multiplayer “brawl” at the New York City tournament.”
The lucky contestants will have a chance to participate for the grand prize, a crystal covered Wii, a home theater system and copy of the game. Second through fourth place will receive a Wii, a Wii remote, a coppy of SSBB and a $1000-$250 Gift Card at Best Buy. The consolation prize for everyone else however, a $10 Gift Card at Best Buy, isn’t a bad deal either.
So if you’re confident in your ability to win at a game you’ve never played (or imported it already and want to exercise that advantage) and live anywhere near one of these cities, then don’t miss this opportunity! Meanwhile those of us stuck in the midwest can grumble about the tournament not making a stop in Chicago or Houston.
