Nintendo Wii gaming torunament

Remember the old days when Nintendo had their world championships?



We'll Nintendo is resurrecting the old style high score tournaments. . . but with the Wii

As Just announched (via Nintendo club) the official Wii 2010 summer games site has been launched. On the site they list events in over 18 states with competitions in: Wii bowling, the new Super Mario Bros. Wii CO-OP coin battle, Wii fit plus hula hoop, Mario kart Wii time trial, and Wii resort Basketball 3-point contest.

I think it is a really cool Idea they are doing this, but I see it in no manner being held in the same regard as the original tournaments back in the day.
