As part of their sponsorship, Nintendo will take on the title as Official Gaming Console Supplier, and will have a stand outside the Vodafone arena. The stand will feature demonstrations of Wii Sports, as well as a lounge where the public can try their hands… err eyes… at Sight Training.
In addition, every day of the Australian Open, visitors will be able to enter the Wii Championships competition at the Nintendo stand, which requires you to remain undefeated at Wii Tennis for as long as possible. The winning competitor of each day will receive a Wii console, while the two highest ranking contestants will be asked back for a final, which will take place in Garden Square. The final winner will not only receive tickets to the Men’s Final, but will also have a chance to play Wii Tennis against Mark Philippoussis.
In case you don't win the final, Mark Philippoussis will also be appearing at the Nintendo stand on Tuesday, January 15th at 11:00am. A Nintendo DS Lite with a copy of Sight Training will also be given away daily.
“Both the Wii Championships and Nintendo Sight Training Lounge at the Australian Open, will showcase the diversity and broad appeal of Nintendo’s products,” said Rose Lappin, the Managing Director of Nintendo Australia. “We have games for everyone. We know Mark Philippoussis is a fan of Wii, and there will be a few Wii fans lining up to take him on.”
