Nintendo's first attempt at a national Wii tournament, Wii Games: Summer 2010, drew to a close in California this weekend to see which US gamers had the best Wii skills.
Olympic gold medallist Shawn Johnson kept the finalists warmed-up with some Wii Fit Plus hula hooping before diving into the competitive matches. Credit to 66-year old Bill M. and wife Bonnie M. of Westlake Village, California for showing those other "Super Adults" how it's done.
A list of winners is below but the gallery at the bottom awaits your captions.

Super Adult would make a neat bumper sticker.
This gives me bad flashbacks to my Wii Summer Games experience...
I'm scared for life because of that Super Adult material. I'm going to be dreaming about Luigi dancing next to seniors for the rest of my life.
I should make a time capsule and when im older itll say "Make sure you (I) become a super adult"
I wish I could've been there, but I was on vacation in Puerto Rico when it came to my area

I am scarred by that Super Adult content. Luigi is HUGE!!!!
When I saw Super Adult Material I thought there'd be some hawt naked pics of Tingle Boy was I dissapoint
Too bad I didn't participate. Anyways, my family would have tossed the tickets AND the games (my mom has a strict "no-video games" policy that she wants to enforce, but can't).
@SuperZ: Tingle ain't even remotely an adult
LOL at picture caption, Odnetnin's avatar and Super Adult content.
In the family category, the six year old boy won the vs. mario kart race in the finals on Sunday.
