Nintendo had something ridiculous planned for the May 10 launch of Photo Dojo on DSiWare, and I was fortunate to participate in it. They had journalists from all different publications in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles compete in a Photo Dojo tournament for the chance to go out to their Redmond offices and take on Nintendo of America's Bill Trinen.
After a 20-minute tournament that was preceded by an hour of DSi camera-fueled setup and lunch, I came out on top of the New York City region. Under the lame pseudonym "The Real Neal," I managed to defeat representatives from GayGamer.net, Maxim, and The New York Post. My fireball, which was a picture of NWR contributor and photographer Lauren Lewandoski, blazed a trail through my foes and to the championship.
David Edison of GayGamer.net and me right before our first round bout
Next week, I will be flying across the country to Redmond to compete in the finals against the San Francisco and Los Angeles winners for a chance to take on the mighty Bill Trinen for the title of the Ultimate Photo Dojo Champion.
Stay tuned to Nintendo World Report as I detail my exploits, train for the tournament, and explore the undiscovered (for me) state of Washington and Nintendo's fabled headquarters. Hopefully it'll be as fun as the last time we were there!

Make a bet with Trinen about the treehouse translating Mother 3.

BTW, i've actually seen 2 commercials for this game today on Cartoon Network. This is the first time i've seen any commercial even mention WiiWare or DSiWare (or Virtual Console), so I was surprised to see one mention a game that is free.

I couldn't find the thread that has Neil winning the tournament, but I just wanted to post the link to this week's Nintendo Week where he is shown beating Bill Trinen.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to cull the tons of pictures Lauren took and post them. :)

Funny that Craig Harris didn't mention being defeated by you on the IGN NVC podcast.That's because Craig Harris didn't make it to the finals.
