The 2015 Nintendo World Championships, while by no means perfect, was pretty damn great. It dragged in a few spots but by and large was entertaining. Pacing was a bit off though. The kid commentating during Splatoon was awful. Playing all of the classic games as emulations on the Wii U was also a mistake, they really should have had them playing on the original hardware. Blast Ball was just plain boring and ugly to watch. Not having all the Mario Kart 8 players together was also odd and it sucked that they didn't have everything unlocked. All that said, it was still pretty damn entertaining and the Metroid and Mario Maker sections in particular were great.
Assuming Nintendo does another one of these next year, which games would you like to see? Would you want to see the format or player count change?
Assuming the format and player count remained the same, I would like to see the following games.
Stage 1: Super Smash Bros for Wii U. Two groups of 8 playing free for all eight player smash. No items (except maybe the Smash Ball) with a three minute timer. The bottom four of each group do another 8 player smash where the bottom four get sent to the elimination round. In the event of a tie for 12th place have a single-stock tie breaker match.
Stage 1 Elimination: F-Zero GX. Chapter 9, best time moves forward.
Stage 2: Mario Kart 8. 200cc, all twelve players at once, four tracks. Bottom four players eliminated. And have all the damn items unlocked this time.
Stage 2 Elimination: Super Mario 3D World. Champions Road, first player through or the player that makes it the furthest in 7-10 minutes.
Stage 3: Ice Climber. Mountain 32. First three players to reach the top or the three players who make it the furthest in 5-7 minutes move forward.
Stage 3 Elimination: Kid Icarus Uprising six player free for all.
Stage 4: Nintendo Land. Donkey Kong's Crash Course. No time limit, just the the two highest scores move forward.
Final Stage: Pikmin 3. Bingo Battle mode best of 3.
