Nintendo announces sponsorship of the 2008 Australian Open as Official Gaming Console Supplier. Now everyone can play tennis at the Australian Open thanks to Nintendo. Those attending will have the opportunity to relax in the Nintendo Sight Training™ Lounge, or to test their skills in the Wii™ Championships. The winner of the Wii Championships will also be able to battle it out on the big screen against tennis ace Mark Philippoussis.
The Australian Open will run 14 – 27 January, with the Wii Championships giving Australian Open visitors the chance to play tennis on the game Wii™ Sports. Wii Sports transforms the Wii Remote into a tennis racquet, allowing players to compete by swinging the Wii Remote like a racquet to hit the ball.
Entrants will need to hold the court for as long as they can to become the daily champion. The daily champion will take home a Wii which includes Wii Sports, and the two highest ranking daily champions will be invited back to compete in the Final on 27 January.
