We'd be delighted if you join us for an evening of Nintendo-related fun and frolics in our first Nintendo Life Gaming Night this year, which will be held at the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge, UK on 25th July. There'll be a chance to play all of Nintendo's classic consoles such as NES, Game Boy, SNES, N64, and even the mighty Virtual Boy!
We'll be hosting a Super Mario Kart (SNES) tournament with some fantastic prizes, while the event will also be graced by Super Mario Kart World Record Champion Sami Cetin, who will show off his skills and give would-be racers some tips.
Another exciting part of this event is the UK premiere of road trip documentary: Nintendo Quest. This film chronicles one man's quest to collect every official North American NES game ever released over 30 days without using online outlets. Along the way filmmaker Rob McCallum examines the enduring legacy of the NES and Nintendo.
You'll also have the chance to meet indie developers such as Utopian World of Sandwiches, and try out as-yet unreleased titles such as Chompy Chomp Chomp, a Wii U game that supports up to nine players at once!
StreetPass will naturally be a big part of this event, and we've got plenty of dedicated groups attending for this very reason - if you've got puzzle pieces left to collect, bring your 3DS along. This will be a night to remember for Nintendo fans, with tickets costing just £8 for adults and £5 for under 16s and students, with funds raised supporting the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge. Book today so you don't miss out on all the fun!

Awesome, too bad I live one the other side of the pond : (
Hope you guys have a great turnout .
I live in London so I can easily get there!
Wish I could!
@TheSwagMaster98 It's a shame that so many of our readers simply won't be able to make it over to England for this event, of course we totally understand! The museum does valuable educational work and is a registered charity, if anyone would like to support this event but cannot attend then we'd recommend making a donation to the museum via their website: http://www.computinghistory.org.uk
@123akis hope you can make it sir. Cambridge is only 49 mins away from London Kings Cross so we hope lots of folks from the big smoke might join us!
Sounds like fun, but unfortunately I too am one of the many unable to attend due to distance. Have an event in the Midwest USA and I'm totally there. Hope it all goes well.
I also would love to be there but live on the other side of the world. I actually lived in Cambridge for a little while when I was little while my Dad was doing research there. I brought my North American NES along hoping I could use it there but could never get it to work. In fact my Battletoads profile picture brings back memories of that time as I was obsessed with the game at the time. I'd love to visit Cambridge again only this time be able to play Nintendo while I'm there
I'm not too far away from Cambridge, so I'll probably be up for this
Aww I'm in San Francisco, CA... guess I can't make it
Aaaaaand I live in Virginia...doesn't look like I'll be going there.
Just a 30 minute train journey. Once i get paid (in couple weeks time), I'll certainly get a ticket . Probably won't stay the whole evening but hey, I've always wanted to visit the museum anyway!
Woah that sounds nice... I'm actually thinking about attending.
UK is always worth a trip and If I should have time & money for a short vacation, I'll definitely be coming from Germany.
If it wasnt my first wedding anniversary, I'd be there. Shame!
And I live all the way down in the US, there no way in hell I'm going to make it.
Ushering at my mate's wedding. Fancy delaying it a week chaps?
Looks like it was a great time to be had! Anyone going to MGC (Midwest gaming Classic) this year? I've wanted to go to that for so many years now.
Well England is a bit far from California and I don't do planes otherwise I would so be there. Sounds like a lot of fun. You should guys should see about streaming the event for those who can't make it.
Would love to attend this, but I am in USA. Any chance some of these would be coming to your Twitch channel?
@SphericalCrusher we'll certainly be doing some video highlights for YouTube.
London guy so I may actually go to this, question does student ticket option include uni students to?
@Jazzer94 I think student price is for any NUS card holder. If in doubt best to email the museum via their website before booking
Arghhh! Live 20mins from Cambridge and would be so up for this but it's on the one night in July I can't make!!!
Stupid weddings.
@Dazza Will do.
Hope it's a sweet time. Looking forward to the video highlights. Please get footage of all the NL staff with some sub titles!
Check out the awesome prizes for the Super Mario Kart (SNES) tournament!
I'll be there Darren, don't worry!
@Dazza Those trophies look beyond amazing.
Those trophies look fantastic. Me and my partner and a few Nintendo mates were going to come but I had an Achilles operation so can't walk or drive I'm gutted. Will you be doing it again at this venue?
@norwichred you never know, this might become a yearly thing. I should mention that the museum is easily accessible for wheelchair users. Get well soon!
I'm in Australia atm so not really that handy. Next year tho, fingers crossed.
Have a great time everyone!
My body is ready! Should be a fun evening!
I did think about offering to bring Mario Kart Double Dash (using two Broadband adapters and a cross-cable), but didn't know who to contact.
Wish I could go. I used to live close by there growing up. But now I'm in TX.
