All you have to do is sign up on the website, and then be as awesome as you can between today and June 24th in the game's five-minute mode. The top scorer will get Hudson's "Top 5 Wii Games" and a massive 16,000 Wii Point bonus. Wii Points will also be awarded to the 10th and 16th places -- in honor of "16shot" Takahashi Meijin.
A random drawing will also award prizes to ten players. That means that as long as you have Star Soldier R or don't mind entering tournaments for games you don't have, you could win! But if you do enter, why not go for the big prize? We're going to start practicing not being awful at shooters.

"Top 5 Wii Games" Meaning 5 different copies of Bomberman?

Wow. This actually almost makes me want to download Star Soldier R just to try and compete. I'll have to think about it...16,000 Wii Points!

They just won.
Seriously, this reeks of "hey look, our game is so good there's already a tournament! Buy it!"
I mean, I like Star Soldier and all, but it seems like a gimmick to get people to buy it. And it works apparently. Well played, Hudson.

Right now, I can't buy Wii Points and download Star Soldier. Seriously, only for this, I'd download it. Good job, Hudson.
