Nintendo brought back the Nintendo World Championships as part of their E3 2015 lineup, after a 25 year hiatus, and it was amazing.The tournament had been marred by a very lacking selection method, only accepting a limited number of contenders from a handful of Best Buy locations scattered around the US. Some of the contestants werent all that great either, seemingly only having been invited for star power. There was commentary from a child that ranked slightly higher than Short Round on the all time Oh God why!? leader boards. At one point the reveal of a small new IP almost put the room on ice, resulting in the commentators almost begging for crowd responses. In spite of all that, the show went on to be a massive success because Nintendo knew how to cater to fans.
