[JJangelPAUL]

thumbs up for the humping mario at 1:21 :D

[juanaattacka]

[Ui2019]

I was at one, the biggest memory of it is a huge inflated racoon mario, playing a Ninja Gaiden II beta six months or more before it came out..oh and Wizard's and Warriors for gameboy. :D

This is the most active I've ever seen an eSport shoutcaster.

[MrEscimoBoy]

[dastallion85]

BRING BACK NINTENTO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR 2010 20YR ANNIVERSARY.

[antonioyuff]

Teatris!!!

[FenceHoppingSpic]

Thor is a faggot.

[mireaux7]

pleeeease nintendo....bring back the nintendo world championships. its 2010, a 20 year hiatus since this event. it needs to be brought back to possibly coincide with an all-new nintendo console as well. that would rock.

[druha10304]

this is the time when i saw thor playing was he playing tetris it was tough game but thor hey the it said

[jmua04]

Thor got his ass whipped at the Genesis championship and faded into oblivion.

[BrainRemovalD3vice]

What i would give to be able to time travel to 1990 with my glock19 and steal all 26 copies of NWC at gun point.

[cfh8081]

They should have made a movie similar to this, possibly about three kids that run away from home and go across the country, trying to get to California. Along the way, their trying to not get caught by a private detective. When they finally make it and play the championship series it should come down to three kids and they have to play a new game nobody has ever played before.  For this totally awsome movie they should get Christian Slater, and the kid from the Wonder Years.

[jmart81]

They kind of did with Fread Savage, The Wizard. where he compeated at the Nintendo World Championships.

[cfh8081]

No shit, bud. I was being sarcastic lol. I basically gave the plot to the whole movie.

[claudiall]

I always wondered if they got the idea of the NWC after making the movie or if the movie was an excuse to hype the NWC which happened after.

[DARKSONYX29]

@cfh8081 ha ha ha the wizard

[kurisux]

@cfh8081 OH MY GOD THAT IS THE BEST MOVIE IDEA EVER!!!

(seriously, "The Wizard" happens to be what I officially consider my favourite film.)

[F0Xhound009]

man, almost 20 years ago now. How time flies. If I could go back to that year I'd go back without a second thought. The 90's were awesome even though this video is pretty gay lol.

[spacepluto]

luigi: its always just for mario...why does noone care about weegee!!!

[Mobeus]

Here it comes, TETRIS!

[captainnintendo]

I miss the 90s:(

[lestraIen]

OMG NERDZZZZZZZ

[idonthaveacoolcar]

[jdigitalseven]

The Wizard Part 2

[darkowin]

the announcer is a fuckin beast

[zozokoko1]

those were the years...80-90s BEST YEARS EVER!

[TrueSoreThumb]

"Not for fun, we're doing it for mario"... oh, so there's not enough of a cash prize, eh? Most of it is the promotion/tournament, eh?

I kidna wish I was old enough to understand the Mario Maina. :o

[Grooveraider]

Former Nintendo Product and Game Tester Howard Phillips pumpin' the crowd on 1:16. Such a flashback - I remember participating trying to qualify. I still have my Competition Admission Ticket ( all-three holes punched ), the NWC ballcap, event brochure, a Mario doll all from Universal Studios, Hollywood :)

[nestercl]

....at 1:23 Mario turns into a pervert hahahaha...

epic

[ImpendingDeath07]

this is depressing

[Grooveraider]

Now I can understand why Video Power's 2nd season was so much fun. The announcer and commentator Terry Lee Turok - host of the Nintendo World Championships !

[Pilz]

where is thor now

[derdude]

thor is fucking dead

[necroexmortis]

No he's not, he's a friend of mine on myspace.

[thomaslamora]

@derdude

Thor is my brother in law. I got drunk with him the other night.

[Foo3112]

You can find him on myspace

[necroexmortis]

You can meet him on myspace.

[aplejuice123]

@necroexmortis my cuz met him at an expo mid april haha

[cringevideo]

holy FUCK! what a flashback!

i remember that hideous "make your own Mario music video" stage.. i paid for one, but taped over it years ago..

and there's Thor.. he'd always talk about the finals, but it's awesome seeing footage from it.. thanks for posting!!

[realripestudios]

This is awesome! Just like The Wizard. Complete with cheesy host. Classic!
