GamerFitNation’s Alfredo López was at the Gamestop in West Hollywood this past week for the Nintendo 3DS Kid Icarus tournament. Check out what happened, who won, and what all the excitement was about!

This past week I was at the GameStop in West Hollywood watching the Nintendo 3DS Kid Icarus tournament. The tournament consisted of 72 participants. Up for grabs was a trip to New York to participate in the national level tournament.

Seventy-two participants got to face off in a 3v3 team battle, participants were placed in groups of six, and from there they’d be split into teams of 3. Teams were determined by having the participant reach in a bag and grabbing a dark or light stylus without looking. Only one winner would come out of the six total players, that player would be the one with the highest score. From there that player would advance to the final round.

Before players competed, players were placed in two stations. In the first station they’d play a single player game to get a feel of the game. From there they’d move on to the second station where they would get to experience multiplayer mode. Finally the last station-station three-was where players would face off, seeking to get a spot in the final round.

The final round consisted of three waves. The rules were pretty simple, be the player to have the most accumulated points after three waves, and you win!
