Indeed, many of their parents were only kids at the time. Many of today's gamers hadn't been born when some of these games were first released.
Old and new were presented to the gaming community with equal enthusiasm, met with comparable excitement by the crowd in attendance and the hundreds of thousands streaming at home.
A round featuring the year-old Mario Kart 8 was followed by one featuring the 30-year-old Balloon Fight. Splatoon, Nintendo's recently released multiplayer paintballer, rubbed shoulders with the NES version of The Legend of Zelda. This year's competition saw 16 contestants participating in a number of knockout rounds until only two were left: those two would play a head-to-head contest to see who would be crowned champion. The Nintendo World Championships tournament last took place 25 years ago (and, like last night's, proved its name wrong by only letting American gamers enter, but that's by the by). But what happened last night was four and a half hours of sheer grin-inducing bliss that ultimately reminded us why gaming, when it's done right, is still one of the most entertaining and wonderful hobbies on the planet.

But it's telling that by the time fans headed to bed it was the World Championships they likely dreamt about instead. presentation that revealed, among other things, that Ryu from Street Fighter had been added to the game and was available now.

So there you have it, members, your 2015 champion, Mario Kart 64. But, like any champion, Mario Kart 64 saved its best for last, scoring its tournament best 9 points in the final round against Link and Navi, winning 9-4. It did not even convincingly beat its fourth round opponent, Star Fox 64, winning 7.5 to 4.0. Things got a lot tougher for Mario Kart 64 in the third round, where it just squeaked by Banjo Kazooie, 5.5 points to 4.5.

That's right, MARIO KART 64 is your winner, with a stunning and powerful defeat of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.Ĭoming out of the Hello Mac Bracket, Mario Kart 64 was given a run for its money by what some would argue is actually the BEST racer on, Star Wars Episode 1 Racer, in the second round.
