Nintendo World Championships 2017
They've returned! August is the preliminaries, October is the championships.
Stay tuned for more of the shittiest gamers you've ever seen show off their mad Nintendo World Championship skillz. I'd have been ashamed if I was a joke of a gamer that everyone last year was, the two that reached the finals though,, the ones who played Super Mario Maker? That's the only game they showed even a semblance of skill in, the rest of the games it's like they never even touched a controller before. And Nintendo fanboys wonder why people call them out saying they play nothing but Mario games.

Get the chance to go hands-on with the Super Mario Odyssey game on the Nintendo Switch console and the Metroid: Samus Returns game for the Nintendo 3DS.
Check in with your My Nintendo QR Code at the qualifiers and get 100 Platinum Points. The first 200 people to check in each day will also receive a My Nintendo pin!
A bit disappointed they didn't just call it the Mario Kart Championships 2017, but maybe they thought the old name had more marketing power.
Qualifiers will use Mario Kart 7? So basically it's pure luck as to whether you're in or not.

Unless this new championships has people playing NES or SNES games, I'm not interested.
I feel like mario kart should have separate competitions like smash bros and more skill based games should have been chosen for this also its a days drive to compete for me so bleh
Web site for entries: http://nwc.nintendo.com/sweepstakes/Championship Sweepstakes - Enter today!
Head to New York and join the live audience cheering on the competition! Enter by 5 p.m. PT on Sept. 8 for a chance to win this VIP package for the Nintendo World Championships 2017, including:
- A trip for two to New York City
- Two-night hotel stay
- Tickets to the Championship Event
Prizes details:
The one winner selected by Sponsor will receive the following prize package (the Trip): (i) two round-trip coach class airline tickets from a major U.S. or Canadian commercial airport near the winner's home to New York City, NY on October 6, 2017 for winner and winner's guest (Travel Guest) (however, at Sponsor's discretion, winners who live within 200 miles of New York City may receive round-trip ground transportation to New York City in lieu of the airline tickets) (Approximate Retail Value (ARV): $1,400); (ii) two nights' lodging in a hotel (selected at Nintendo's sole discretion) in the New York, NY metropolitan area for winner and the Travel Guest (one standard room, double occupancy) (ARV: $1,000); and (iii) two (2) Tickets to the Nintendo World Championships 2017, which is scheduled to be held at in New York City, New York on October 7, 2017, for winner and the Travel Guest, (iv) and $400 VISA gift card. Approximate retail value of the Trip package: $2,800 (United States Dollars). Any difference between the approximate retail value and the actual value of a Trip will not be awarded.
Honestly, I don't really care about watching the event live, I was just hoping to sign up for a chance to win the gift card and then maybe sell the tickets if they don't allow you to take cash value instead, but Nintendo's website is such sh*t that I can't even enter the sweepstakes.
It requests you to sign in, so when you sign in, it then takes you to your account page, click on Nintendo after that to go to the main page, find the sweepstakes by searching the first page of a horribly designed website, click on the sweepstakes which gives you the same information, to sign in and then register. It has you listed as logged out on the top right. Without even signing back in, if you click the Nintendo logo on the top left again, it'll go back to www.nintendo.com and you'll retain your sign in, but any time you go to the page nwc.nintendo.com you're not listed as signed in, so it's a sweepstakes that can't even be won. For those that don't attempt to log in because they can't make the event, etc, they'll think, wow, Nintendo is being pretty cool offering this, but in reality, people aren't getting anything. Well, they are getting something, they're getting their time wasted even attempting the bullshit until they realize they're going in an endless loop that doesn't work.

Here's the championship's video:
I had no idea this was a thing again.
