Game Informer have a good hefty interview with the producer of the Nintendo World Championships 2015, Erik Peterson, and it’s pretty awesome. We get a first look at the very shiny trophy with a very gold Mario statue, and some interesting details and teases about the championships which are taking place tomorrow. He tells us why they chose NES Remix, teases some secret games and guests and even talks about The Wizard a little bit. Read the full interview at Game Informer’s website, or take a look at a snippet below:
“Why NES Remix? Why not break out the original consoles and cartridges?
Ultimate NES Remix on Nintendo 3DS was only used for our qualifying rounds at select Best Buy stores around the country. It was a fun nod to the original 1990 tournament, since we were using the game’s World Championship mode which included some of the games used in the original competition.
On June 14, The Nintendo World Championships will use eight different games, including Splatoon and The Legend of Zelda. Although we’ve already revealed these two games, we see the element of surprise as being important – we want to truly test the competitors’ skills by forcing them to adapt to the challenges we throw at them.
What does the winner receive? Will there be a crown similar to the robe that was awarded to the recent 3DS Super Smash Bros. champion?
We’ve been keeping this a secret until now, but maybe this is a good time to reveal it. The winner will receive a trophy featuring a large gold-plated sculpture of Mario. A one of a kind event like the Nintendo World Championships deserves a one of a kind award, and we’re really pleased with how this turned out.”
Cool trophy
Watch it also be an amiibo.
I wouldnt take the trophy for free mario 3d games suck and nintendo going mobile is blasfmey you fools and the trophy aint real gold anyway suckas.
Pretty sure it has real gold on top of it but of course it is not fully golden. That would be expensive as fuck!
I don’t understand half the thing you told, he never said it was pure gold but gold plated, idiot.
He’s mad because sonic and the geneshit are for causals.
There’s already mobile sonic games which all of them suck
Doesn’t matter if it’s real gold or not. That trophy will be worth more money than a real gold statue! lol..
Remember, the carts from the original NWC have sold for 100k dollars!! And those were not even one of a kind. This is one of a kind, and could potentially sell for over 100,000 dollars…. Whoever wins this event will be RICH! ……… Kind of
Get a life hater
That gold Mario looks way better than the amiibo.
Nice.
A championship with no sega geneshit games is a perfect championship.
I wonder how much it’s gonna sell on eBay.
But please no, that’s just a waste – unless there is no contest winner name, then it might have value
Well, the original NWC carts sold for 30k, 40k, even up to 100k dollars.. I’m sure this will be equally as collectable, maybe even more so..
Weeellll, unlike the cartridges, there is only gonna be ONE trophey. So it’s gonna have a substantial value.
Its fake it aint real gokd DA sonofab its cheap son
Choosing NES Remix is a genius move, in my opinion. It will be very entertaining to watch.
Who give a shit about game informer its a boring magazine by rippoff gamestop company
What are you even saying? Go away, you retarded fuck.
That gold trophy is fake and gameing died in 1995 when playstaion came out you bastard and metroid prime sucks the last good metroid was super metroid super nes the hand held sissy shit dont count son…ps get a life you on here too much nerd lol
You can’t get a life either, you’re stuck in your mommy’s basement crying about 1995 and geneshit
Another reason why Sega Fanboys are human scum
The sega genesis beat the Snes because Sega knows how to make better games son and this is a fact of life my child.
Sega makes shit, everything about them is shit
A retarded sega fanboy like you would never admit it.
Sega is shit, sonic is shit, genesis is shit and for loser retarded adults

Sega genesis had blood and gore in their Mortal Kombat But pussy Nintendo took it out of Mortal Kombat Snes…Sega was for the cool kids and nintendos going mobile RIP nintendo sega may be dead but at least they used to be cool not a pussy like nintendo……say it say it….SEGA
Mortal kombat? Blood? LOL that’s the only reason? You suck as a gamer if you cry over blood.
Say it….say it….SEGA.
Sega is dead?
Nintendo scared of blood i knew they was a Pussy back then 20 years ago at least sega was cool stupid kidd
Sega was cool to losers who suck at gaming
You’re the biggest pussy on here since you get mad whenever people don’t listen to you

You are too blind to understand because you have brain cancer and live with your mom because your name is joemama
JoeMama sounds like a name for a sega fanboy loser who does nothing but suck sega’s tiny dick.
Face it Loser.
Sega is a loser company.
Cool kids play other consoles not geneshit
Genesis does what nintendo dont…Blast prosessing…say it….say it……SEGA.
Yes. Genesis gave boys brain cancer while nintendont
I’m actually excited to watch this. I would have loved to be a contestant…. But no Best Buys near where I live…
GEEZ! That is ONE AWESOME trophy right there!
Yeah so maybe it’s only gold plated, but it’s worth a lot because there’s only ONE and it will be given to the WINNER of the NWC!
You wouldn’t be so critical about it if you had it sitting on your mantle!
I wouldnt take it id say you suck nintendo for going mobile and its gold plated im a man of honor….and then id say the genesis kicked the Snes ass
Keep telling yourself that since no one cares
Sega fanboy in denial thay sega geneshit sucked
You should get off of this site.
Sega will always suck shit. Geneshit is dead and died in 1995 along with your retarded family. Everyone hates you.
You see? Sega fanboys are failures
You’re a failure, JoeLoser93
And youll always be the loser gay anoying kidd The Wild Guy to me….ps the Genesis beat the Snes punk

Dude, why are you arguing with yourself? You don’t think we know that? Your such a fucking knob. Go get a life, or at least a hobby…
Or at least make your fake arguing with yourself more convincing…
Its some kidd who keeps bashing the mighty sega genesis deep south mayo….
Agreed. It’s so annoying.
You both are dumbass i defend the genesis just like you defend the shitty Wii u
Im a cult legend and Sega rules ..Gilbert Grape
Sega genesis beat Snes Landstalker Genesis beat zelda and thats a fact kidd.
Sega genesis rules…..Landstalker is better than Zelda and its a sega game kidd.
every time i see a genesis and the thrift store i purposely break it so nobody will be able to play it.
You should bring a genesis home kidd and play it ….its the best system….real fun kiddoo
