Konami is hosting a Nano Breaker Internet ranking contest to coincide with the game’s recent release in North America.  Fans of  the futuristic sci-fi game for the PlayStation 2 will have the opportunity to show off their plasma wielding prowess and potentially win exciting prizes.  In order to enter the competition, players must be seventeen years of age and older (Nano Breaker is rated "M" for Mature by the ESRB) and have completed the game once in order to unlock the Nano Breaker Splatter Mode.  Players must use one or more of the first eight Splatter Mode stages to enter the contest.  Please note: Only the U.S. version of the game will generate valid passwords and will be allowed to participate in the competition. In plain English: the contest is only valid in the U.S. of A., folks.

The Grand Prize winner will receive a “plasma” television.  Other prizes include a copy of Nano Breaker signed by Koji Igarashi, the developer of the game and the producer of the legendary Castlevania series, Electronics Boutique gift cards and Nano Breaker T-shirts. The contest runs from March 1st through March 15th, 2005. For more information and official rules, please visit the Nano Breaker website at: www.konami.com/gs/nanobreaker.
