The 2025 Retro Championships are coming again in April 2025. 35 years ago the 1990 Nintendo World Championships took place so it's only fitting that this years qualifier is the 1990 NWC. This legendary cart features Super Mario Bros. , Rad Racer and Tetris in a 6 minute and 21 second marathon for the highest score. We are planning to have 6 qualifying stations this year, a 50% increase over last year. We will have a new championship belt for our overall winner but in addition to that we will have cash prizes as well.

1st Place - $500
2nd Place - $250
3rd Place - $100

As usual our top 8 qualifying scores will compete on Sunday in our Championship gauntlet consisting of 1991 and 1992 Campus Challenge, StarFox Super Weekend, 1994 Powerfest and Donkey Kong Country Competition. The 8th place qualifier will play first while the top qualifier will play last. Qualifiers will play each game and earn points based on where they place overall in each game. 8 points for the top score and 1 point for the lowest.

We celebrate our 10th anniversary of Game On Expo and the Retro Championships in 2025 and we want to make it bigger and better than it ever has been. We're very excited to see some returning faces this year as well as some new ones.

Get practicing and we'll see you in April!
