are you ready for the most epic display of video game prowess this year? gently caress yes, it's the nintendo world championships 2015. the event is hosted by kevin pereira, the guy from cancelled television program attack of the show, and live commentary will be provided by justin flynn (some human being from youtube who makes pokemon lets plays or something) "djWHEAT" (who) and the motherfreaking black nerd comendy guy, andre. also in attendence will be the game grump, famous for appearing on the reality tv show where idiots humiliated themselves in a competition to get an entry level QA job for sony, and a bunch of speedrunners including themexicanrunner, bananas, and trihex.

featured among the games being played is 2015 GOTY splatoon, in the first ever competitive tournament based on a game made by nintendo. good luck, gamers!






vital statistics:
chris b: hobby: smoking blunts while speedrunning
fernando t: loves memes
john g: a mysterious traveler from parts unknown, little is known about this enigma
jordan d: considers himself a rival of the angry nintendo nerd
mike y: underwent extensive cosmetic surgery to look more like his hero, weird twitter personality "@fart"
william h: this motherfucker thinks he can pull off the reggie face
timothy h: william's twin brother (paternal)
michael s: i know this guy in real life

the event starts sunday at 3PM, at twitch.tv/nintendo, or e3.nintendo.com, and there's also a 25 minute pre-show - be sure to tune in there will likely be some epic reggie/bill memes to see

I'm really interested in seeing what the game selection is.

I imagine there won't be any actual old consoles and they'll be playing on VC

how the gently caress is splatoon going to work? the 1v1 is bullshit and its dumb/unfair to have 1 player on gamepad and 1 on controller


overall it should be a good commercial for nintendo though

john g. is a brave man for saying his all time favourite nintendo game is the new hotness instead of some old and dusty crap from 30 years ago like the rest
