Retail locations around the country will be hosting qualifying events for players who think they have what it takes, with the winners going on to play the main event at this year's E3 next month. Only eight locations have been chosen to host the qualifiers, which will make it difficult for some fans. They are as follows:
1717 Harrison St., San Francisco, CA
3675 Pacific Coast Highway, Torrance, CA
900 E. Golf Road, Schaumburg, IL
12905 Elm Creek Blvd. N, Maple Grove, MN
5001 Northern Blvd., Long Island City, NY
9378 N. Central Expressway, Dallas, TX
The events will be held in those stores on May 30 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The winner from each region will move on the finals at E3 on June 14, where Nintendo has selected an additional eight competitors.
What game will players be competing in? The tournaments will use the championship mode of the Ultimate NES Remix game for the Nintendo 3DS. In this mode, players will take on a series of three score-based challenges in Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3and Dr. Mario. Games and systems will be provided at each location. Ultimate NES Remix is available now in stores and in the Nintendo eShop for anyone who wants to start practicing for the competition.
