Nintendo World Championships Return This E3

Hot damn, Nintendo. How do you just get it so well? Over the past few years Nintendo have just been nailing their consumer communication, most recently with their “Get Ready for E3 2015” video, in which Reggie humorously announces the return of the Nintendo World Championships at E3. It’s definitely worth a watch:

 

 

It’s almost as funny as this fake Reggie anime intro video (which uses a lot of footage from previous funny Nintendo videos). When Nintendo is on the same page as their fans on jokes like this, you know something is going right.

The Nintendo World Championships were last held in 1990, making this the first Nintendo World Championships to be held in 25 years. The best part? The logo is returning, 90s style intact. Totally radical.

In the end, one player will be crowned the 2015 Nintendo World Champion. Fans in Los Angeles will have the opportunity to attend the tournament, while others can watch online. More details about the qualifying tournaments will be shared in the coming weeks.

Nintendo Digital Event

Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3

More information about the specific times will be announced closer to E3.

Nintendo Access: Mario Maker at Best Buy
On two days during the week of E3, participating Best Buy locations will open their doors to let fans try out the upcoming Mario Maker game for the Wii U console. The game lets players have fun with friends as they enjoy playing through levels in a variety of Super Mario Bros. styles. The events will take place 4-9 p.m. local time on Wednesday, June 17, and noon-5 p.m. local time on Saturday, June 20.

Pretty good job, Nintendo.
