Nintendo World Championships 2015!

[xelement5x]

Nintendo just released this pretty funny video promoting upcoming stuff, but they also mention they're going to do a Nintendo World Championship this year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original back in 1990.

And a bit more in depth discussion at Polygon:

This seems pretty awesome, I wonder how many people will show up for the prequalifiers and such.

I attended the one in Pittsburgh and did terribly.    I remember it being a good time though.

That stinks it is going to be a digital game.
They should put it on a NES cart

They were waiting for the 25th anniversary.

I live in Western Massachusetts but that was the nearest place to compete. I actually go to Worcester on a regular basis to shop at 'That's Entertainment' though.

I don't remember the breakdown on who got the gray carts but I received a hat that says "NWC 1990 Semi finalist" and a GameBoy system.
