First of all vote to help us decide if console tournaments, which will be held at lite events, should be strictly for bragging rites or if money should be involved. If money is involved it will probably be the same entry fee as a normal tournament, $5 per person.

Next list any games that you think would be cool for us to have tournaments with. Beach Spikers is great but I'm not sure it will be at every lite event. Maybe we can have more than one console tourney at a lite event, but we will start out with one for the time being to see how it runs. Try to suggest games that are easy for people to pick up and play so that we can get as many attendees involved as possible. Here's some of my game suggestions.

Super Smash Brothers
NFL Blitz
NHL Hitz
NBA Street
Capcom Vs SNK 2 (or another fighting game)
Burnout 2 (1v1 racing or pursuit)
Mario Kart (GC version once it comes out or N64 for now)
Super Monkey Ball 1/2 Mini Games (Monkey Fight, Monkey Target, etc)
Goldeneye (or Perfect Dark)


Go ahead and share your thoughts and ideas. As new games come out that you think would make a great tournament, post them here as well so we can check them out.

Hey if you are really wanting to get a console tourney
I dont think you could leave out the XBOX with :

HALO and NFL 2K3

But then again it will get very sticky with different consoles and a huge list of games,
Seems like too much work to me. But if there is a method to the madness Im in.

Well I have an orginal Nintendo. I will have to look at what games I have that would fit for a tourney. I think for now tho it should be bragging rights. Or mabe give out a door prize to start out with.Then if the numbers are high enough for the tourney then do money.

The problem with those are that they use so many buttons that you would really have to be use to the controller for whichever system they are played on. There is a similar issue with Capcom vs SNK2 (trying to find out a way around this since I think fighting games would make a great tournament)

---

Don't forget the EO in Capcom vs SNK 2 EO. That would make up for your button problem since EO is used with the right stick on the XBOX (one direction movement to complete moves/combos). Also, Football season is approaching soon, and baseball season is here and MLB 2004 is coming out and will be network compatable.

Also, June will reap three HUGE games on XBOX:
Wolfenstein
Midnight Club II (out on PS2)
Soldier of Fortune 2 (GOLD)

All three games are network I am probably missing some. But my point is: the console tourney might be more realistic than most of you think!

Yeah I just left the EO off to type things out faster. The Gamecube version is EO as well. Haven't played it in anything but classic mode, I'll have try EO mode out and see what it's like. It might work.
