NO BUMPING! Clogging you say? I think I am on the last mission before the X missions that you will not know about. AND IT IS A STUPID MISSION! But some day I'll beat it. Maybe today! But I just got family guy on PSP so that first

Well I like this idea:

Aussie Tennis greats to take on fans in Wii Sports
Here's your chance to show off your Wii Sports Tennis skills against the professionals!


January 12, 2007 - Nintendo Australia has announced today that it'll be giving fans the chance to play its Wii Sports Tennis game against 2 high profile Australian Tennis Champions - Pat Cash and Mark Woodforde.

But, you'll need to earn your place to snag this opportunity, says Nintendo. Every afternoon between January 15 and 18, from 12 to 2, those interested will be able to head along to Myer Melbourne City to compete against other entrants in Wii Tennis. The people who win the most games during each 2 hour session will then head into a grand final at 1pm on January 19, where they'll be pitted against both Pat Cash and Mark Woodforde in a doubles match. In addition to that, all four finalists will also be awarded a Wii - as if they didn't have one already.

Nintendo urges fans to come along on the 19th to cheer on the champions and to catch a glimpse of Cash and Woodforde in action. To tempt everyone a little more, they'll be giving away prizes, with the help of Fox GM's Jo Stanley.

For inhabitants of Sydney, Nintendo will be holding similar events between January 18 and 21, at Macquarie Centre. But, there'll be no celebrities and instead attendees will be able to play WarioWare: Smooth Moves. Those who win the Tennis play-offs will walk away with a copy of Smooth Moves.

For more details, be sure to check out Nintendo Australia's website, here.

Hmm.. might head down their for a shot

I was about to quote that. My net has been down for like 3 days and now im on dialup for backup. No idea if it's new news but is there an age thing? I'm gonna go down but my bro does to and he's 10. Fing annoying family. Look at you own computer!! Can he compete?

 

[deity_link]

From the looks of it their isn't an age retriction... but then isn't that what the wiis about fun for the whole family

 

[nkbswe5]

Sucks that we cannot bring our own Mii's. It is silly. That's the whole reason to have them!

i'd love to get in to the forum world so please include me this time:smilewinkgrin:

 

[nkbswe5]

I shall include you! But do me a favor and get an avatar I like avatars.

And if you want to thank me, there is a reputation button next to my online status...

So how you going in Trauma Centre? I finally finished an impossible mission in Chapter 5 somewhere and now its even harder :cryin: Oh, and everyone seems to have Trauma Centre now, but JB has it cheaper, and once the current stock is sold out it won't be back for a while (says my EB guy). I soo wanna get Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney!

I need to change my siggy now. It's to big.

new game in aus (well sa anyway) went up to ultimate gameing and there is this puzzle game, fruit full or sumthing, looks like a minigame, rotate screen make fruit fall and get rid of the blocks etc. $80 but i wouldnt pay 5 for it lol seeing as you can download games like that for free. would be cool seeing as all you do is twist your wrist though

[nkbswe5]

I thought it was $50, which is OK for little games like that. Or even $30. $80 is tooo much. I'll wait for Wario Thanks
