Gallery: Here's What The Nintendo World Championships 2015 Looked Like

Dat Kaizo Mario Maker. Crazy stuff.

continues to work on NSMBW hacking

What an awesome event! Nintendo should do this again really soon.
Also.....
I want to shake Miyamoto's hand too! 😃

Staying up till 2:23 to finish this in the UK #noregrets

Woah Joven is here.!!!

I couldn't justify staying up till the end. I went to bed at 1 am. Work is a priority. And as good as it was, it could have been better I feel.

And I hope Nintendo don't do it again anytime too soon because a lot of the hype behind it all was because it's been 25 years. As soon as you start to do regular championships, it starts to loose it's atmosphere and the winning of the championship won't be seen as anything quite as important

Some rather sad news coming out of this event.

Apparently the winner of the championship was accidently exposed to sunlight following the competition and immediately turned into dust.

I loved the event. It seemed to drag a bit in places, but the Earthbound announcement at the beginning, the frantic speed run and competition in the elimination stages... and that Super Mario Maker and crowd reaction was just amazing.

The only part I didn't care for was the Reggie/Hungrybox thing. Good in concept, and the intro video leading up to it was funny. But Reggie was awful - to be somewhat expected because I'm sure he doesn't sit around and play games all day - and it was a mismatch from the go. Plus, HungryBox seemed like a real jerk. Reggie did his own trash talking, but you could tell it was in jest. This guy seemed to take it seriously and said really rude insults with a shade of seriousness - saying the COO of Nintendo "sucked" and was a "fraud" - just rubbed me the wrong way. I thought Reggie was a good sport, knowing he'd get thrashed, but it was a lowpoint for me overall.

John Numbers seems like a really humble winner, like he couldn't believe it - and he definitely showed his level of skill on the fly in SMM.

but @HollywoodHogan LOLOLOL. Hilarious!

I was so bumbed that we didn't get to see Urban Champion being the final match.

I really enjoyed this! The winner and runner up are so lucky they got to meet Miyamoto!

Part of me feels I would have done awesome in that last round. I hope they'll put those levels up for download once Super Mario Maker launches.

I got to watch the SMBU-themed run now, which I missed yesterday. Man, Shiggy is so charismatic. Could even have fooled me if I didn't already know what a ruthless boss he is, heh.

The Championship wasn't too bad, but that 30 minutes of absolutely nothing at the start really irritated me. Also, some awkwardness and cringe had to get into a gaming event like this...

This event should have streamed earlier, owing to this I missed the whole event.

@Kaze_Memaryu What did Shigeru Miyamoto say?

@James1993 I'm not sure I follow what you mean?

I meant, what did he say during the live stream?
I missed it all as I had class today.

awesome!

Arin lasted longer than I expected. He performed atrociously at Mario Kart 8, but did second best in Balloon Trip, so overall, not bad.

Just got done watching it, it was a lot of fun and that poor guy looked a little shell shocked when he won. The game play was really intense in some places. I wasn't too thrilled with hungrybox vs reggie, simply because I felt like it took away from the players themselves, but congratz John Numbers, you earned it.
