As some reading these pages know a number of the Nintendo Life team are based in the UK, and through our friendship with The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge we occasionally host gaming events with that awesome organisation. Our next one is lined up, and it's going to be a whole heap of fun!
On Saturday 28th July we'll be hosting the Nintendo Life Gaming Night at the centre, from 6pm to 11pm. Below are some details from our event page:
The Centre for Computing History is once more teaming up with Nintendo Life for an evening of Nintendo-related fun.
We will have out as many of our Nintendo systems as we can muster, including four of the five pre-Famicom systems: the TV Color 6, TV Color 15, Racing 112, and Block Breaker Console.
Other machines playable will be the Famicom, Sharp Famicom Twin, NES, Super Famicom, Super Nintendo (both US and UK Models), SNES Mini and Super Famicom Jr, not one but three Virtual Boys, both Japanese and UK models of the N64, numerous GameCubes, a Wii or two, and the Wii U (phew!).
There will also be a resurrection of the Centre's 'knock-off Nintendo' display, featuring a collection of completely unofficial machines from around the world. Lastly, there will be a complete display of all the Nintendo handhelds from the seminal Game Boy to the New 3DS.
The Nintendo Life team will be there throughout the evening to share their infinite knowledge of all things Nintendo with visitors.
As if all this is not enough, Nintendo Life's YouTube star Alex Olney will be hosting the tournament this year and there will be some great prizes. Start swinging your Joy-Cons as this year competitors will be facing off on ARMS on the Nintendo Switch.
Expect more announcements on the evening's entertainment as 28th July draws closer.
A great event for all the family, young and old!
Here's the round-up video from our last event:
If you fancy coming along you can pick up reasonably priced tickets right here, including a discount rate on a family ticket.
We hope to see you there!

"Numerous GameCubes"
Now you're speaking my language.
@Mathias_Wolfbrok "and the Wii U"
Now they're speaking my language
I wanna join in Competition, but.....
Oh, well. I live in Indonesia.
The only thing i can do is just Online Play.
Nice. I live 10 minutes away from cambridge. May have to pop in and take a gander.
Mario Tennis will be out by then too so hopefully we can play that as well please?
Gonna be a few years before we can do this as my daughters are 2 and 8 months old but please keep it going and in a few years time we'll be there. The eldest just had her second birthday and it was Mario themed, with her favourite characters Ama, Ooji, Oshi, Bobum, and Mummy making an appearance! If you can guess who those characters are in the game I’ll be impressed!
Im bringing em up the nintendo way!
I'm a fairly new writer for Nintendo Life but I will be joining the NL gang at this event. It will be great to meet some of our readers!
@Richard_Atkinson How did you become a writer?
Aww boo. I live near Cambridge but this event clashes with the London Film and Comic Con which I already have tickets for. Doubt I'll make it. Have fun.
Ooh... tempting! The rail links aren't great to Cambridge from where I live, and I leave the country for at least a year a week later, which means I might be faffing around with preparations. But equally, it also means it's basically my last chance, so all the more reason to go! Decisions, decisions!
I see my comment got removed. Awesome. Maybe I come, as I am over due a visit to Cambridge.
If only I was there and not in San francisco
I wish I could come but I live in the US. That's cool that you guys do this, and I would totally rock an ARMS tournament (but not really). 😂 Have fun over there!
How awesome. I live round the corner from the museum so will definitely be popping along
@Matthew010 In general or for Nintendo Life?
I'd love to be attending but this event clashes with the Cambridge B-Movie film festival.
A weekend of B-Movies, Beer, retro gaming and traders!
@Richard_Atkinson Nintendo Life
@Matthew010 I asked I have experience with writing for many other sites and I even worked at Nintendo Official Magazine back in the day.
Yip! It's back! I'll likely be attending. Been intending to go back there anyway. I might not take part in the contest depending on the when it's held (Blame train timetables). Hopefully, there'll still be tickets available once I get some money in
