Nintendo Night

Last night, 26 teens came out to our fall Nintendo Night program. We did our usual Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament, hooked up my old NES, rocked out with the Beatles, and did a small DS Pokemon tournament. The ultimate winner of the Brawl tournament was Jared, who has never won before. Even the losers were happy to see a middle-schooler win because it's usually the older guys who take the prize. Jared got a $25 gift card to Game Stop, and John E. won a $10 card for coming in second. The top four finishers (Jared, John, Samuel, and Edgar) all got candy. We didn't get to finish the Pokemon tournament, so we'll do that during Gaming Club.

Of course, no Nintendo Night is complete without technical difficulties. This time, we did manage to avoid most of the problems from cross-interference with the two Wiis. However, about halfway through the Brawl tournament, the projector lamp died! We turned off Rock Band: The Beatles and moved its projector over to continue the tournament. Thankfully, the library director was working downstairs and she just happened to have a spare bulb in her office! So I swapped out the bulbs and we were able to continue with the Rock Band free play. Whew!!!

Look for another Nintendo Night after the new year.

Everyone enjoyed rocking out with The Beatles.
