Here is an idea of some of the challenges/tournaments that will be happening:
Super Street Fighter II Turbo Tournament
SMB Completion Time Challenge
Challenges on classics like Tetris, Pitfall and many more.
Also, there will be a huge multi-platform Ultimate Gamer Tournament with each stage of the tournament moving to a new console.
Systems ranging from Atari 2600 to PS1 will be set up to play some of your favorites.
It's going to be a really great time.
I hope to see you there.
