WHAT:			Summer wasn’t the only thing drawing to a close over Labor Day weekend as Nintendo hosted the final championship of its Wii Games: Summer 2010 nationwide competition. Approximately 200 finalists from around the country – joined by family, friends and spectators of all ages – gathered in Redondo Beach, Calif., to get up and get playing with motion-controlled video games for the Wii^™ system. Tournament play included games such as Wii Sports Resort^™, Wii Fit^™ Plus, New Super Mario Bros.^™ Wii and Mario Kart^™ Wii.

			To mark the start of the National Championship event on Sept. 3, Olympic gold medalist and Wii Games: Summer 2010 Ambassador Shawn Johnson led finalists in a special warm-up session with the Hula Hoop^® activity from Wii Fit Plus.

			During a special award ceremony on Sept. 5, winning teams received prizes, including customized trophies fashioned after the iconic Wii Remote^™ controller, Nintendo entertainment packages and a family cruise for the first-place team. First-place winners by category were as follows: Michael C. (Dad, 41), Amy C. (Mom, 40), Amanda C. (Daughter, 13) and Sean C. (Son, 6) of St. Louis, MO (Family); TJ H. (25) of St. John, Ind. and Chris M. (26) of Highland, Ind. (Adult); Bill M. (Husband, 66) and Bonnie M. (Wife, 58) of Westlake Village, Calif. (Super Adult); Frank N.
