People everywhere are making the Joke but, at the last event in the finals, the screens go up and they say...

SUPER

MARIO

GALAXY

THREEEEEEEEE!

 

[NotLiquid]

Nintendo World Championship? Goddamn I never expected that to be a thing. I'm interested.

 

[Oxirane]

Finding amiibos in stores

The prize will probably be a rare custom amiibo made by Nintendo.

 

[Chuckpebble]

Thought it cheesy until Reg got down and started slapping the Power Pad during track and field, as you do. That redeemed it. Also, the end.

 

[Neff]

Square's hiding after the FFVII thing.

 

[Muzy72]

You guys realize Alberto is joking, right? :lol

 

[Holy Order Sol]

This video feels way too much "we have to repeat 2014" imo.

they should repeat 2014 every year

 

[LaserHawk]

Great. Nintendo/Square's conferences overlap. Fuckin perfect.

You mean I get to see what Nintendo's making while simultaneously ignoring Square Enix? AWESOME!!!

 

[Death Metalist]

I dig it. My body is Reggie.

 

[pinkurocket]

 

[phanphare]

Yeah, I thought they would add a real press conference, but since it looks like that they have nothing big to show this year its better if they do that next year.

[Shadow_FFVI]

They won't reveal it for a teaser.

Got to save it for E3.

Yeah, but the reason we all thought of Punch Out was because Reggie was training. He was training for the Nintendo World Championship, not teasing Punch Out

Spoiler

May be it will end up being both?

 

[Vyse24]

I wonder how that is going work? Online events hopefully!

Press release said they're happening at selected Best Buys.

Here's the logo from Nintendo's E3 site (for the eventual topic for the event itself):

Real press conferences are as boring as it gets. If there is one thing Nintendo did right last year was the Digital Event, so it is great they are repeating it.

Will be interesting if it really is a World Championship or just an American Championship.

Did you forget? America is the World.

Smash Bros. Tourney was really fun when they had the good players playing (celebrity stuff was whatever but it's all for show anyway). Wonder if they can top it. Hope everyone bothers Geoff with Pikachu again. That was the best.

 

[TheHall]

It worked for most of us.

Yeah, i noticed that, i guess i'm the outlier on this one.

 

[Chaos17]

Website is up : http://e3.nintendo.com/

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Really? We're going to go down this road again? Haven't the last two years of people saying this proven that it's foolish to say it?

Why would you feed the obvious troll?

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

There's only so many pre-show hours to use that have reasonable international viewing times.

If you ask me, Nintendo and Square-Enix should have, like, talked and Nintendo shouldn't be conflicting with a major third party's conference, but Nintendo gonna Nintendo.

You have no idea what your talking about? Aren't you?

 

[HUELEN10]

Thank you

Square knew full well that was Nintendo's usual time slot. Their problem.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I love this video.
I don't necessarily find it funny but it warms my heart that they do some stupid shit like this.
Like come on, could anybody here imagine Mattrick or Riccitello or Guillemot make such a dumb video with themselves?

THREEEEEEEEE!

This has to happen.

 

[kpaadet]

"These games are great", this man can not be trusted.

 

[mgs2master2]

is the world championships something open to the general public? I would love to go and play

 

[Linkhero1]

I hope Nintendo World Championships doesn't conflict with Bethesda's announcement.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Were you expecting an announcement?

you expected game announcements from this?

Digital Event is where things will be shown.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1044871

Wasn't expecting an announcement today but the reason people were expecting a new Punch-Out! game clearly meant nothing.

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

At least Reggie knows wich Donkey Kong Country series is the best!

But Nintendo has been using that time slot for like the last 10 years

[Rymuth]

....that...was...fantastic!

 

[LifeLike]

 

[threelights]

Everyone choosing Nintendo or Square to watch.

And I'm just preparing to watch both at the same time.

 

[Owningrampage]

who are they trying to impress...that video was sooo cheesy

 

[JoeM86]

From the press release:

On May 30, select Best Buy locations in major cities around the country will host qualifying tournaments for the Nintendo World Championships, which were last seen in 1990. The winners from each regional event, plus competitors invited by Nintendo, will meet on June 14, at the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles for a multi-round Nintendo game competition. 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.

I smiled.

 

[matrixman92]

This was defo done by Mega64, they did the last year's E3 announcement as well.

yep, was definitely Rocco singing about halfway through

 

[JDSN]

I think Treehouse is getting a bigger role with bigger guests, last year was a runaway success.

 

[Dr. Buni]

At least Reggie knows wich Donkey Kong Country series is the best!

There is only one Donkey Kong Country series.

 

[DrForester]

Excited as I am for Mario Maker, I was really hoping for a Star Fox demo this year.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Same, like it wasn't funny most of the time but it was really cute and heartwarming tbh. I love how Nintendo execs seem to get that Nintendo is about fun.

 

[LiberaTeExInferis]

The name of the song?Someone?Is it from F zero, because I think I hear "Falcon"...?

 

[NotLiquid]

So the NWC is before E3? Wonder if we're getting any announcement for it, The Wizard-style.

Also this was the foreshadowing

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Great video. Nintendo had the best show out of anyone last year. Looking forward to this one.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Nintendo remains a mystery for me as a company but that video was funny.

 

[DownGrader]

Thanks Nintendo for the new avatar.

 

[Galang]

That was funny, love Bill getting fired at the end.

 

[gamergirly]

Oh Lord, Best Buy will be horrible out here in Atlanta....

That was the most interesting piece for me out of this. I wonder if we are going to get to a mini-Nintendo event(Zelda,NX,mobile) before E3 starts eventually
