Welcome to Nintendo Champion Discussion! That’s right, this month we are all champions even more than usual because the Nintendo World Championships Famiboards Edition is being held right here in this very thread! Everyone reading will be able to compete and all you need is a passionate themed post each week! I’ll explain all of the details a little later on, because I have two other things to discuss right away. First, if you are new to Famiboards, Nintendo Champion Discussion is usually Nintendo General Discussion here and all of the usual General Discussion continues onward. This is the chill hangout thread that not only features Nintendo and other video game discussion, but also chats about life, the food you are enjoying (pizza pics are always welcome!), sharing fun memes you find online, and so much more! We’re just coming off a very fun Nintendo Direct that gave us plenty of awesome new games to look forward to including Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Mario & Luigi Brothership, and Metroid Prime 4 Beyond (#PraiseTheProcess) so there’s plenty of fun games to discuss. The second thing I want to mention, is that we are also celebrating JRPG July this month which is headlined by Trails Through Daybreak on July 5th. Weekly discussion questions are going to be RPG themed and will rotate out every Wednesday so please look forward to them!
Nintendo World Championships Famiboards Edition
Alright our main event this month is the Nintendo World Championships Famiboards Edition! Each week I’ll present a Nintendo series you have to make a themed post around and I’m looking for posts filled with passion! The theme of the first week for example is Mario and you are welcome to approach this in many different ways. You could for example write a post about your favorite Mario game, maybe you’ll write an ode to Toadsworth, or perhaps a Haiku about Bowser. Photoshops / memes are welcome as well as long as you make them fresh for this event. The main rules are to keep your passionate post within one post (which is admittedly a very large amount of room to work with lol) and the post should be fun, positive, good silly, and/or good weird. Please let me know if you are submitting a post for the championships (@ me, say you are submitting it, etc.). You are welcome to quickly double post to let me know you are submitting your post if you don’t want to take away from your post’s artistry and impact. I’d prefer if you only submit one post and make it count when you do, but if you do want to resubmit just let me know. You are welcome of course to make more passionate posts beyond whatever you submit should inspiration strike! The top three posts will get medals and points each week (3 for gold, 2 for silver, 1 for bronze) and there may be shenanigans in the final week to keep it interesting. This event is mainly for fun so there are no big prizes planned, but the winners will go down in history and be immortalized in Fami lore if nothing else!
Here’s the schedule for the event so you can plan your posts. Entries will be cut off at 11:59 PM Pacific Time each Sunday and I’m aiming to announce each week’s winners within 24 hours of the cutoff provided my schedule doesn’t interfere. I'm aiming to announce each week's theme when I cut off submissions for the prior week again provided my schedule doesn't interfere. All of these posts will be threadmarked for easy reference.
Week 1: June 30th – July 7th - The theme is Mario!
Week 2: July 8th – July 14th - The theme is ??????
Week 3: July 15th – July 21th - The theme is ??????
Week 4: July 22nd – July 28th - The theme is ??????
Winners Announced July 29th!
JRPG July – Featuring Trails Through Daybreak + Weekly Questions!
I love the Summer months as it’s an awesome time for outdoor activities and adventures (swimming in pools and trips to the beach are my favorites!) and while every month is really a great time for RPGs as far as I’m concerned, there is something that feels special about having an awesome adventure to get back to whenever you have downtime amidst Summer fun. This year Trails Through Daybreak, the 11th directly connected Trails game which is the start of the fourth big story arc, is definitely the biggest new game for JRPG fans especially and I know it’s going to consume my month. While JRPGs get top billing in July, I’m curious for any RPG fans what games are you going to be playing this month? Also, as I mentioned prior, each Wednesday I’ll be posting a new RPG themed Weekly Discussion Question this month which will carry us right to the end of the month. If you want a preview of the questions ahead of time to plan your answers, you can click on the spoiler tag below.
Week 1: July 3rd – July 9th - Who are your favorite RPG characters and why?
Week 2: July 10th – July 16th - What are some of your favorite RPG battle systems and other mechanics and why?
Week 3: July 17th – July 23rd - What are some of your favorite RPG soundtracks and songs. Feel free to share Youtube songs this week! Hyperlinks are always cool, but if you want to embed a video please do one per post to be kind to mobile users. Multiple posts are always encouraged![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
