“Improving brand awareness in the run-up to the holiday season is always helpful, but it also further weakens the competition if Best Buy is more closely associated with the most popular console currently in the market.” “Considering the difficulties that specialty retailers like GAME (UK) have had with the slow trickle of Switch units making it to their stores, it is a smart move for Best Buy to align with Nintendo,” Joost van Dreunen, CEO of SuperData Research, said. Shane Kitzman, senior communications specialist at Best Buy, told AListDaily that hosting the qualifiers in 2015 was so much fun that the retailer jumped at the opportunity to do it again in 2017.

#BEST BUY MARIO KART TRIAL#
The player with the best time trial entry in each age group will qualify for the Nintendo World Championships. Meanwhile, the second age group, 13 and older, will play as Bowser on the Game Boy Advance “Bowser Castle 1” course. The first age group, 12 and younger, will play as Mario on the Nintendo DS “Luigi’s Mansion” course. The focus for this year’s competition is Mario Kart 7 on Nintendo 3DS and players will be divided into two groups based on their age. Starting on August 19, eight Best Buy stores around the US will host two-day qualifying events.
Best Buy last partnered with Nintendo for a competition leading up to the 2015 World Championships, which were held at E3 2015. The October 7 event in New York at Manhattan Center’s Grand Ballroom will mark the culmination of eight regional events held exclusively at Best Buy retail locations across the country. Nintendo is once again trying something different with its Nintendo World Championships.
