The heat's on!

You'd be forgiven for forgetting about Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition. Though we thought it was rather good, the relatively obscure puzzle title released somewhat stealthily in May and failed to make as much of an impact on Western audiences as Nintendo hoped. Evidently in an effort to spread the word about the game, GungHo Online Entertainment just announced an international competition for North America.

To enter, participants must attain a "C" rank or higher in the score attack hard mode, then send in a picture of themselves holding the 3DS displaying their score, with their name, friend ID, and the date also displayed. The top twelve entrants will be flown out to California for the next round and the top four from there will be sent to Japan for the finals. The winners will win "fantastic prizes", so if that sounds pretty good to you, then you can find more details and submit your score here.

What do you think? Do you have what it takes to make it to Japan? What did you think of Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
