See Women Duke It Out For a Free Wii (image gallery)

Ladies, forget “Sex and the City.”

Now there’s Wii Sports Boxing… and the city.

Last night, Nintendo invited women around the Big Apple to participate in a “Wii Sports Boxing in the City” competition (similar to last year’s Wiimbledon). The event was held at a bar and restaurant located in midtown Manhattan, and Nintendo touted it as a chance for females “to throw a virtual punch or two while unwinding from a long day at work.”

Seven women. One free Wii. Fourteen furious fists.

Winner Regina (right) survived the multiple rounds and gave the Wii to her best friend May (left). The pair were just at the bar hanging out with friends when they saw that the competition was being held. “May actually made me sign up because she really wanted the Wii,” Regina said. “I won’t really play it, but she loves it.”

May lost against Regina earlier in the contest but in the end still won. “She killed it! She is the bestest friend ever!” May said after Regina handed over the console. “I have a DS, and I’ve always wanted the Wii but I can’t afford it… Nothing is better than free!”
