Original Nintendo World Championships winners back as guests of honor for this weekend’s tournament
For the first Nintendo World Championships, three winners were selected. Jeff Hansen won in the 11 and under category, Thor Aackerlund was victorious in the 12-17 category, and Robert Whiteman took home the prize in the 18 and older category.
With the Nintendo World Championships’ return this weekend, Hansen and Aackerlund are returning for the festivities. Both will be present as guests of honors.
Nintendo said on its Twitter account a few minutes ago:
