Nintendo’s two most famous video game competitions, Nintendo World Championship and Nintendo Campus Challenge, are being recreated in Las Vegas at the Classic Gaming Expo this summer.
Gamer’s will compete to get the highest combined score on reproduction cartridges of the two ‘holy grails’ of video game collecting.
“I have great memories of World Championship and Campus Challenge. Competing in them again will be a great experience for many gamers.” says Sean Kelly, organizer of the Classic Game Expo.
The competition is free to all attendees of the expo. Each competitor will play both games and the highest combined scores will win prizes including trophies and t-shirts, not to mention eternal gaming glory.
The Retro Game Championship is organized by PriceCharting.com, a source for pricing data for video game and movie collectors, and JJGames.com, a retailer of retro games and systems for all major consoles.
