Nintendo Australia will be setting an Australian record for the longest Game Boy Play Off with 70 gamers competing at Darling Harbour, Sydney, on March 29th in an afternoon and evening of Game Boy and Pokémon action.

The biggest brands and licenses in portable gaming history are coming together in a major event to find the Australian Game Boy Pokémon Champion with the stamina and skill to last in a knockout contest.

Sydney based Pokémon and Game Boy experts will have 24 hours to register their interest in becoming one of the lucky 70 contestants in this event by sending applications to a special e-mail address found only in Thursday's Daily Telegraph Newspaper (20th March).

The winner of this event will receive two return Economy Class tickets to Singapore flying Singapore Airlines. On the way, they'll enjoy KrisWorld, the world's most advanced inflight entertainment system featuring over 30 Nintendo games. They'll also receive a year's supply of Nintendo Australia product to keep them busy when on the ground.

This fun-filled event will be hosted by Ryan Lappin and Jade Gatt from Network TEN's Cheez TV and include special appearances from Pikachu, Charmander, Meowth, and Squirtle - some of the most popular Pokémon characters of all time.

Spectators attending the event will have the opportunity to win some of the thousands of dollars worth of Nintendo product that will be up for grabs every hour and have the opportunity to play the latest games from Nintendo not yet released in Australia.

Ugh, I need to win some money for lots of stuff besides games. Wish I could enter...is it like some kind of up all night thing?

Damn!!! Not only do I not live in Sydney, nor could I get there! I'd love to have a chance to play some "not yet released games"
