Locations for this year's Nintendo World Championships have been announced. The initial qualifying round will be held across eight different Best Buy locations in the United States, IGN has reported.

Eight participating Best Buy stores are:

There will be one winner from each location who will then travel to E3 for the actual Nintendo World Championship 2015 title.
IGN noted that this is the first time in some 25 years that Nintendo has held the event so it should be a momentous occasion.
