Recreating Nintendo World Championship at Classic Game Expo

Post by jjgames »

I will be exhibiting at the Classic Game Expo this year and our booth is going to be a recreation of Nintendo World Championship and Nintendo Campus Challenge. We are setting up 5 TV's with NWC and 5 with NCC. People play both games and the highest combined scores will be displayed on a live screen at the event and online.

Then the 10 highest scores at the end of the show get invited back for the live competition. The highest score during the live competition gets the grand prize trophy and t-shirt. We will also have prizes for 2nd and 3rd place as well as t-shirts for all the highest scores.

The booth is co-sponsored by PriceCharting.com and JJGames.com

Who's going to CGE this year?
What should the trophy be for the grand prize?

Not sure this sound ridiculous but as for the trophy would it be posiible to have Mario chilling in the Rad Racer car with his hand out the window holding a Tetris piece up as a victory? :lol:

It was my lucky shirt made it when I would visit my moms house on the weekends back then.Thanks!
Lets not try to derail jj's thread from here on out,I have to order a NWC Repro by the time this goes down so I can compete in spirit.

JJ is looking for who would be attending and if anyone has ideas for the grand prize trophy anyone got some suggestions?
Show some love peeps. :wink:

Very cool that you went to the original. I wish I had known about it when I was a kid, I would have loved it.

We will be posting the top scores on our website retrogamechampionship.com so you can compare your scores with the top scores and see how you would have done.

Yea Im glad I have that under my belt,only thing I went with my friend & his dad and they didnt inform me it was a comp and I played casually with not much prep.They probably seen the Movie and were like were gonna make some money off this kid.lol

Well had they told me I probably would choked even more,I was comfortable with the Mario segment started to feel pressure with Rad Racer and Tetris just scared the crap out of me.
