Nintendo World Championships & Why Long Island Advertising Agencies May Help

By Robert Sutter


If you're someone who enjoys video games, as either a small hobby or a full-blown passion, chances are that you are focused on E3. This particular gaming event brings a number of companies together, both big and small, though none seem to possess the kind of aura that Nintendo possesses. This is especially true after it had announced, after more than two decades, the return of the Nintendo World Championships. There has been some worry, which begs the question, "Can Long Island advertising agencies prove handy?"

For those who do not know, the Nintendo World Championships was a concept that tested the abilities of gamers. It was originally brought to the NES, featuring a few of the system's prominent titles. Different stipulations existed, such as collecting a certain number of coins or playing another game for as long as possible. It drummed up tremendous interest in the 90s, meaning that a few modern tweaks could make this feasible in the modern day. Unfortunately, the news has been less than spectacular.

If you want to know what plagues the Nintendo World Championships, in its current stage, it would have to be the narrow scope. Along with the contest only being eligible at certain Best Buy stores, there is only a single title that is playable: Ultimate NES Remix. To say that something like this is lazy, compared to the company's efforts two decades ago, would be an understatement. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that Long Island advertising agencies are unable to help.

There are quite a few ways in which a Long Island advertising agency can prove to be useful. One of the better solutions - and perhaps firms the likes of fishbat can agree - is the possible appeal of different audiences. Nintendo seems to cater to more groups than gamers in general, meaning that those with only a passing interest can get involved. What about the agency in question bringing suggestions for other games, in order to round out the contest itself? Even the slightest amount of assistance could produce better results.

The Nintendo World Championships is a great idea, on paper, and I am sure that it would have drew interest if this concept was done in a different way. It's not like the gaming scene is shy about competition, after all. With that said, the current landscape is less than pleasing, not only to those who play games but those who write about it as a career. One could only hope that Long Island advertising agencies would not only advertise this better but, hopefully, breath new life into this vintage concept.
