Blast Ball was played prior to finals.

Earthbound Beginnings was announced right before it started... for some reason.


Emphasis on just Blast Ball, we didn't know it was Metroid based at the time (although someone made a pretty spot on thread guessing that).

I remember this. What a weird event in general.

 

[Fularu]

I guess companies still don't realise that excluding Québec is stupid.

All they have to do is ask the winner 12+8 =? and it would be fine

 

[Smiles and Cries]

ah crap forgot ARMS was a thing, this is all about new characters then

 

[Tregard]

Aaah, memories <3

Smash Switch seems possible, I wonder if they'll stick to 2015's format, Kevin Perera et al.

Hoping we get a Pikmin Bingo Battle round, personally. Maybe something BOTW related involving solving a new shrine faster than someone else.

 

[JB2448]

It's time for Mother trilogy

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Please don't do this to yourself. Please.

They might announce Smash for Switch here, though. That'd be hype as fuck for the final game.

Doing a basic google search shows there's a ton of rules.

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about Europe because we don't care about them

 

[mclem]

I'm going to be on a ship. Well, that's inconvenient timing.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Cool. The last time they did it at E3 was a lot of fun.

 

[Regiruler]

Off topic, but I love your username.

 

[Mory Dunz]

correct me If I'm wrong but we've never seen this Link render right?

 

[DeuceGamer]

Glad they are doing this. Need to find out more about what all they plan on doing but can't wait to watch. Hopefully they put on a good show.

.

 

[FloweryMarston]

correct me If I'm wrong but we've never seen this Link render right?

we did, i think it's the official render for link since 2015

 

[Solid SOAP]

It's time to be gravely disappointed!

 

[XaosWolf]

YES! Hopefully there's still some Mario Maker stuff! Along with some announcements. (Mario maker Switch has gotta be in the pipeline, surely)

Don't know if it can top that last one but I'm all for it becoming a staple if not every year then every other year. =D

Oh! And John Numbers better be back to defend his title!

 

[Mory Dunz]

we did, i think it's the official render for link since 2015

what do you mean? can you find it anywhere?

I know about this one one nintendo's in store promotional material since about a year ago.

 

[Skittzo0413]

correct me If I'm wrong but we've never seen this Link render right?

The model looks like the Smash 4 Link model but I don't recall this exact pose/render, yeah.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

oh just went to the website, they are playing Mario Kart 7 to qualify blinks

 

[Fularu]

Doing a basic google search shows there's a ton of rules.

And all contests in Québec have one extra line when they are Canada wide "in order to claim your prize, please answer the following question"

Most of the rules for contests in Québec are Canada wide

 

[Mory Dunz]

hm, I found this.
on tumbler

hm, maybe hyrule historia or something?
Why is this image hard to find lol

edit:

weird. whatever, i'll stop derailing

 

[zroid]

Mario Kart 7 being the qualifier game is bizarre.

Predicting Splatoon 2, ARMS, Pokkén, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Smash and Mario Maker.

three fighting games? I think they'd need to balance it better...

maybe there will be timed runs through Samus Returns or Mario Odyssey

 

[Salty Rice]

Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about Europe because we don't care about them

Well at least they shower europe with superior limited editions etc. recently.

This "World Championship" was only possible in exchange for no US SNES preorders and shitty limited editions.

 

[Technoweirdo]

Mario Kart 7 being the qualifier game is bizarre.

Drop Pokken and that'd be my list of predictions. The Pokémon Company already does its own tournaments for Pokken, no?

 

[Nightbird]

Nintendo World* Championship

*Open to residents of the U.S. and Canada (excluding Quebec).

this

 

[JoeFu]

Why Mario Kart 7....

 

[Fiendcode]

They should use a SMB3 round to intro the Classic Game Selection. RIP Virtual Console.

 

[DrArchon]

Hmm. No idea what the games are going to be, eh?

I'm not sure if I want a competitive 1, 2, Switch event or not..., but I'm leaning towards yes.

 

[KingSnake]

I'm as excited as a Nintendo US Best Buy Cup with MK7 can make me be.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Off topic, but I love your username.

You shall now be known as Private First Class Kabukiman.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Good luck to gaffers entering!

 

[BitStyle]

Wonder if they'll announce a new title.

Smash would be hype

 

[AR15mex]

Browsing the Site it only shows Mario Kart 7 as a competing game. AM I missing something?

 

[oti]

Smash would be hype

Mario Maker 2 would make me so happy.

It's the game to qualify.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Just during the qualifying round.

Competitive Milk.

 

[Shanlei91]

Hope I make the finals to win a trip to New York aka they fill up my Metro card.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Mario Maker 2 would make me so happy.

&#128561;



It's the game to qualify.

Man I didn't even think of Mario Maker! I'll take Mario Maker over Smash.

 

[sixteen-bit]

When's The Wizard 2?

 

[Brofield]

Oh sure, I'll just pop over to NYC from Toronto with less than two weeks notice.

How feasible and generous of Nintendo to open this to Canadian residents!

 

[GabeTheGrouch76]

Pretty glad to see they're bringing this back. The revival of NWC was one of the rare highlights of Nintendo's otherwise subpar E3 2015 showcase, and I was disappointed that NWC didn't return last year.

 

[GregLombardi]

I think you have 2 months notice, not 2 weeks, unless I am missing something.

 

[bionic77]

They should open it up to other countries and then have some kind of world finals.

Would be cool if more companies did something like this too.

 

[VeryGooster]

Man I'd so hit that up but the 7th is during New York Comic-Con weekend though maybe it depends on the time.

 

[Elephant]

 

[PaulBizkit]

>WORLD championship
>two countries

 

[JohnTinker]

Here's where you can expect the ARMS DLC characters to drop, and the debut of new Splatoon weapons & levels.

Secretly hoping for a stealth Mother 3 release but I know better than to actually expect it

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Zelda Maker is the last round. I'm calling it.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

People still can't get over "world"?

 

[Falchion]

This has potential, really excited to see how it goes.
