Nintendo Giving Away VIP Trip to NYC for Nintendo World Championships

Need to get away? Dying to take a nerdy vacation with your significant other?! Nintendo has just the ticket, and over the next few days you'll have a chance to enter to win a VIP trip to New York for the Nintendo World Championships! It's completely free to enter, and you can do so right here.

"Head to New York and join the live audience cheering on the competition! Enter by 5 p.m. PT on Sept. 8 for a chance to win this VIP package for the Nintendo World Championships 2017, including:

• A trip for two to New York City

• Two-night hotel stay

• Tickets to the Championship Event"

Qualifiers for this year's Nintendo World Championships are still under way, with potential competitors in Minneapolis, Dallas, Seattle, and Miami competing at select retailers for the chance to compete in the big show. The main event will go down on October 4 in New York City, and if you win, you could be there in the crowds for all of the excitement! Even if you're friend of significant other isn't into video games, this will be a pop culture event worth seeing. And hey! It's New York!

If competitive Nintendo gaming isn't your thing (whose thing isn't that?!), then there will still be plenty to do at the Championships. Nintendo will have live demos for Super Mario Odyssey and Metroid: Samus Returns for you to play, so you could be one of the first people in the world to go hands-on with the season's hottest games.

By the way, there's another contest that you need to be aware of. Nintendo is giving away 500 Nintendo Switch consoles along with Super Mario Odyssey. They've partnered up with Post Cereal brands to distribute millions of codes, and you'll have a chance to win every day starting right now. You can find more information about that contest right here.
