Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Nintendo surprised us this week by announcing the Nintendo World Championships 2017. After a two-year hiatus, the big tournament is returning. At least it’s better than the 25-year wait between the 1990 and 2015 editions, right?
You can access the official Nintendo World Championships website here. The page provides a look at the special pin that will be offered to My Nintendo members.
By using your My Nintendo code at the qualifiers held at select Best Buy stores, you can receive 100 Platinum Points. Also, the first 200 people to check in each day will receive the pin.

It wasn’t too long ago that Nintendo Dream published a lengthy interview with the developers of Fire Emblem Warriors. But in its latest issue, the Japanese magazine brought back producer Yosuke Hayashi and director Hiroya Usuda once again.
The second interview has its own interesting tidbits and discussion. Hayashi and Hiroya spoke about the reaction to Fire Emblem Warriors out of E3 and reveal that Chrom was the first character created. There’s also a lot of talk about why Lissa wields a staff, how there was initially some consideration about not including Lucina, the inclusions of Frederick and Robin, and more. Towards the end of the interview, Hayashi and Hiroya spoke further about how characters were selected for the game.
