The Nintendo World Championships are officially back from the dead

Competitive gaming has taken a major turn in recent months, with one of the largest steps forward for eSports arriving through the reveal of the first seven cities involved in the official Overwatch League.

Players are divided into groups based on their age, with kids 12 and under playing as Mario on Mario Kart 7’s “Luigi’s Mansion” stage while those 13 and older will play as Bowser on Mario Kart: Super Circuit’s “Bowser Castle 1”.

Originally debuted back in the 1990s, the fabled Nintendo World Championships made their return back in 2015 and now will come back once more in fall 2017, allowing the chance for Nintendo fans from all over to compete for the glory of championship.

Nintendo World Championships 2017 is the third installment of the multi-game tournament; the first kicked off in 1990 and the second went down in 2015.

The Nintendo World Championships 2017 are set for October 7th in NY at Manhattan Center’s Grand Ballroom. They can only play as Mario and use the standard kart, standard wheels, and the super glider.

In addition, the qualifier locations will also be holding demos for Super Mario Odyssey and Metroid: Samus Returns.

Visit Nintendo’s website for the full list of Best Buy stores that will be hosting the qualifiers.
