Nintendo Shakes Up Six Flags Magic Mountain
--(Business Wire)-- Nintendo:
WHAT: On Sept. 27, visitors to Six Flags Magic Mountain will find a
new kind of thrill as Nintendo hosts an interactive
competition to celebrate the launch of Wario Land(TM): Shake
It! for the Wii(TM) console. The Wario Land: Shake It! contest
invites veteran gamers and new players alike to use the Wii
Remote(TM) controller in unique ways, holding it sideways and
shaking it to help surly anti-hero Wario(TM) run, jump and
smash his way through a hectic side-scrolling adventure. The
contest winner will be rewarded with a "Bottomless Coin Sack"
prize package that includes a Wii console, a copy of Wario
Land: Shake It!, a handheld Nintendo DS(TM) system and a gift
certificate redeemable for Six Flags merchandise.
To heighten the excitement, entrants in the Sept. 27 contest at
Magic Mountain will compete against players at Six Flags St.
Louis. One lucky grand prize winner will receive an all-
expenses-paid trip to New York where they can visit the
Nintendo World store for an awesome shopping spree. Magic
Mountain will also be one of 10 Six Flags amusement parks
nationwide to host Wii Experience game kiosks where visitors
of all ages can step right up and play Wario Land: Shake It!
Wario is the gaming industry's most mischievous and
unpredictable anti-hero, known for greedily grabbing up coins,
munching on garlic and occasionally grossing out audiences
with his audacious behavior. Participants in the contest will
enjoy a rare chance to experience the irreverent fun of Wario
Land: Shake It!. The contest is free and open to all Six Flags
Magic Mountain visitors with paid admission.
WHO: Kids, adults, amusement park lovers, video game fans and Wario
fanatics of all ages
