International Nintendo Wii Competition: Is It Ever Coming?
In the United States, Nintendo Company has sold close to 500,000 units of its latest game console Wii in the month of November, its debut period. This proves that when it comes to the video game industry, Nintendo is still a force to reckon with despite the presence of the two other biggest game console manufacturers on the market today.

In fact, Nintendo is synonymous with video games. It was the first game console manufacturer to hold a video game tournament in 1990. The competition was held in thirty cities across the United States and Canada. The platform used was Nintendo's NES and it was indeed the biggest event in video gaming.

In 1994, another Nintendo World Championships was held. This time, the platform used was Nintendo's SNES. Though the 1994 tournament pales in comparison with the event four years prior, it still grabbed the gamers' imagination at the time.

Today, as the new game console from Nintendo has just been released and no international competitions in its platform have yet been organized, many gamers are keeping their fingers crossed and hoping for an international Nintendo Wii competition in the very near future. At the moment, the closest sport-type games that video gamers can get with their Wii aren't versus players from other countries but versus Wii itself.

Through Wii Sports, players can play Tennis, Bowling, Baseball and Golf. And Wii's distinctive game controller comes in as a convenient tool for playing these sports. Players from six to ninety-six years old can definitely swing away as if they were in the US Open or Major League baseball. The remote controller of the game console can be easyly used without the confusing translation of button commands into directions for the game characters on the screen.

In the meantime, as video gamers are still in the process of warming up to their new Wiis, you can try joining local Nintendo competitions such as those held by students at Michigan University last December 2., 2006. In this competition there were four tournaments. Mario Kart Double Dash, Mario Kart 64, Smash Bros 64, and Smash Bros Melee had been played on the competition day.

The competition was open to anyone, Michigan University student or not, subject to some rules. Prizes had been given to tournament winners and the grand prize for the competition as a whole was, you have guessed it, a brand new Nintendo Wii. The gamer who won it can now practice for the much awaited International Nintendo Wii Competition.
