Fans not participating in the challenge can still have a good time, with giveaways, DJ entertainment, and a chance to purchase the game before anyone else in the country. Call in to sign up for the tournament – . Space is limited.

WHAT:

Nintendo celebrates the return of one of its most popular video game series by hosting a Punch-Out!!™ Challenge at the Nintendo World store in Rockefeller Plaza on May 16 from 1 to 4 p.m. Friends and family members of contestants will gather ringside to support them on their quest to secure the World Video Boxing Association (WVBA) title. Thirty-two participants will face off two at a time in a single-game elimination competition. Instead of strapping on boxing gloves, players will use the motion-sensing Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers to simulate throwing punches. The winner walks away with a customized WVBA trophy and bragging rights as the Punch-Out!! champion. The winner also will receive a free copy of the new Punch-Out!! game for the Wii™ console, a Little Mac training sweatshirt and other prizes.

Fans in attendance will enjoy Nintendo premium giveaways, DJ entertainment and a chance to purchase the game before it launches on May 18. Fans also have the opportunity to play the new game on kiosks, or take a trip down memory lane by playing previous Punch-Out!! games using the Virtual Console™ service for Wii.

HELLO THERE AND WELCOME TO THE ROCK BAND 2 CONTEST THREAD! Every week you’ll be asked to compete in a specific song, and if you are the winner, you’ll win a prize!

RULES: Every week starting on Mondays at 10a.m. Central Time, a song will be chosen at random, on-disk or downloaded, in which you will need to come up with the highest score. Now, of course, the song can be completed on any difficulty, but the higher the difficulty, the more points you may get. The Wiifuse member with the most points by 10a.m. Central Time next Monday will earn a prize, a VC/Wiiware game of their choice.

Now, here’s how the prizes go:

-Zero difficulty on an instrument=a NES, Sega Master System, or a Commodore 64 game

-Red five difficulty on an instrument=a 1000-1500 point Wiiware title

Now, anyone that is joining NEEDS to exchange Friend Codes within Rock Band 2. To find out what your top score is and how it compares to everyone elses, just go to Extras and go under Leaderboards; within the Solo catagory, you have the option to pick an instrument and the songs that are in these contests. Within the leaderboards, select "Change Filter" by pressing the Select button to see who within everyone has the highest score so far.

Upon winning a prize, you must give me your Wii Console Number in order to exchange the gift.

Alrighty, this will be a fairly long article with a ton of images. If you run a dialup connection, you might find drowning to be a more preferable form of suicide than clicking the “More” button below.

If you have no fear of the images, then proceed with my blessings:
