Nintendo announces North American Smash Bros. Brawl tournaments (Joystiq)

[R.O.B.]

Filed under: Nintendo Wii, Fighting

Impatient to get your Brawl on? Some of you North American gamers could get a chance to play Nintendo's all-star fighter as early as this Saturday, when Nintendo kicks off the first of four regional Smash Bros. Brawl tournaments across the United States.

The regional tournaments will take place in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, and New York City, with a maximum of 256 participants at each location. The winners from each tournament will meet in New York for the finals, with the grand prize winner walking away with a crystal-coated Wii, home theatre system, and (of course) a copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

The three finalists will win non-crystal-coated Wii consoles, extra Wii remotes, copies of Brawl, and Best Buy gift certificates ranging from $250 to $1,000. Regional tournaments register players on a first-come, first-serve basis, so we'd recommend getting there nice and early to compete. The first tourney is this Saturday, February 16 in Los Angeles. Full regional tournament details after the break.

yeah I dont know why they're holding two tournaments in California alone?? they should stretch it out a bit more like SF, Dallas, Miami, and NYC would've been a bit more logical.. Maybe that's one of the perks of living in CA.. (but it sucks we have 36 million people in this state alone!! its starting to feel crowded everywhere here now)
