Happy Father’s Day
I love my dad. Coolest dad ever. Everything cool I know how to do can be traced back to him, so I could never kick his ass. But, sometimes I think it would be funny to do so. You know, just to say I did. And I’m too old now for him to retaliate.
Nintendo is giving gamers a chance to challenge their dads, or better yet, someone else’s dad. They send word of the upcomingSuper Smash Bros. BrawlWii Father’s Day Tournament, to be held at the Nintendo World Store in Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.
Hip dads and their offspring will battle other teams in a bracket-style showdown inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. The winning team will receive two Wii consoles, two copies of the game, and a trophy. Hopefully this trophy looks a bit better thanthe lastBrawlone.
And, as a souvenir, visitors can also receive father/child framed photos throughout the day. This all goes down Sunday, June 15, between 1 and 4 p.m. Check the press release after the jump for more details.
