I was 5 when this was going down. I never knew it was a real thing. I thought it was a fake thing from "The Wizard". I'm almost 40 now. I can't tell you how envious I am of these kids. These lucky guys are a part of history. How cool!

Imagine beating 69 Nintendo games

This was in Worchester, Mass. We didn’t actually play Boston.

I CAN BELIEVE I FOUND THIS!!! I’m the Mike in the video that came in third. I was telling. My 6 year old son that I was in this and I can’t believe I found a video of it!!! Thank you so much for posting this. Is was so cool to show him that I came in third in this. He is a Mega fan of Mario and has beet so many Mario games already it was crazy to see me in a world championship. Now he is asking if they have one he can compete in.

I was part of this Nintendo Craze mi whole childhood. I just want to say all the guys n gals that participated on this event, thanks and congratulations for being part of this great spot in video game history.✌🥳

History right here!

I wish I could've been around to compete

Do you still have your NWC stuff ? Like the grey cart and trophy and paperwork ? I'd be very interested in buying this stuff if you'd be interested in selling please

So awesome to see. If anyone has the Detroit footage please let me know. I was in the kings chair in my age bracket in the finals, and choked. SMH.

Omg. That is my dad speaking!! Lol

This is TH-cam gold. Thanks so much for uploading this piece of history. It brings back many memories from the Norfolk,VA event that I attended in my youth.

My gosh, why do I shout "Boom, tetris for somebody!" out loud whenever someone in the NWC 1990 makes every tetris? Maybe because CTWC was inspired by NWC 1990...?

Excelent video dude

Top de mais em nossa nostalgia pura

Esports since 1990

Awsome memories. I was 9 when i entered and did not do to good in my region. Nice footage

Do you still have the grey cartridge ? I have been looking for one and would love to purchase it from you if you still have it ?

Awesome!

Where you the dude in the leather jacket?

Great footage Jason! We met @ The Game Guyz both at the RGB Lan convention. Great to meet you.

Shut up dude, let me concentrate

The 90's USA! It has got to be the best time to be about 10 years in all earth's history! I was born in 84. I wouldnt mind being born a couple of years earlier, but im not complaining :D Thank you for uploading this!

NWC 2017 HYPE

I wish I went to this when I was a kid I was about 10 years old remember it took place only about 10 minutes away from my house

camcorder

I was at this event. I remember feeling so bad for the little kids playing for fun and thinking they were doing good. There would be one minute left to go and you'd see a little kid next to you still on Super Mario Bros fighting the first Bowser in 1-4. At the time I thought my 220k score was impressive :(

A 68 inch TV? Jesus that must have cost a fortune in the 80s. 28:50 kids! We used to call those "pay phones". They were the only way to make calls when you weren't at your house! They were like your iPhone, but stuck to a wall with no internet, powered by coins! Back in the 20th century, long distance phone calls were expensive and water was free!

wow

This video is awesome.

Oh my God… that's me. That's me at 9:40. "A lanky, bespectacled blond, Kenneth was dressed in a Nintendo T-shirt, Nintendo sweatpants and Nintendo hat," the reporter for the Worcester Telegram & Gazette wrote the next day. "He waved his arms and bounced on his toes in a manner not unlike Rocky Balboa's." Wow.

Can you please upload your win in Orlando if you have it? Awesome you got to compete and also mingle with Terry after the show.

Is that Cliffy B? Lol I never heard anything from about this! You should tweet him and tell him you put this up, this is awesome footage!

Awesome footage! The recent 2015 Championships brought a lot of stuff out of the woodwork. Nice score too! Your age group really broke it down and took it far! I recently uploaded my footage from the Philadelphia Regionals as well, where I got 3rd place and a copy of Mario 3. I thought the 1990 event was far, far better. The multicart was something that was organic and fair from a skill standpoint. The 2015 Finals had invited some speed runners who had literally never played a Wii-U until that week! Not to take anything away from the speed runners skill, but it was hard to watch them fumbling with the Wii-U gamepad, not to mention having a team based section with Splatoon! 2015 came off more as a marketing tool to sell their newest games instead of finding the best gamer. The whole thing should have been Mario Maker or NES Remix imo, it's familiar to everyone and is skill based. Asking someone who isn't familiar with 3d games to beat people who play them constantly is a bad idea and made otherwise incredible gamers look like scrubs. Do you still have your grey cart? I swear I would have given that away as a kid, no one had any idea they'd become so valuable

Did you no what games where on the cart going into the first event?

I'm interested in NWC 2015... very surprised we don't know what games we'll be playing or any other information when the event is supposedly only a little more than a week away. Feels very rushed in terms of planning.. not sure if it's by design that we won't have any time to practice and prepare, but i'm hoping that's intended rather than that they simply didn't plan it well. Half of me is still thinking the 2015 NWC is a belated April fools.

you won the golden cartridge?

Appreciated!

Usually takes around 20 tandems before you can solo, this is of course an average and you may need more or less depending on your learning speed.  They will not solo you until you can consistently do everything that is required. I personally took more than 20 i believe (it was over 10 years ago so i don't recall exactly), but part of that was because i didn't do them close together -- i would do a few tandems, then vanish for a year, then come back and do a few more.. then repeat (x4)

How many Tandem flights did you have before your first solo? Does it take a lot of weekends to get to hang II? I live North of Sarasota so Wallaby is within my reach for lessons.

There is _nothing_ like it.

Nice video. I should get up there and learn how to do that.
