If you live anywhere remotely near New York City and you haven't heard of the LoveSac/Destructoid NES Classic, you need to get up to speed.
On November 16 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Brooklyn's Barcade will host the first annual LoveSac NES Classic, which pits players against one another in a series of speed runs in Nintendo Entertainment System classics. Winners can take home all manner of prizes, including LoveSac's GamerSac gaming chair and the coveted bronzed Power Glove trophy!
The final round of the event will have players facing off in a speed run in the first level of Super Mario Bros. 3. But we're leaving what games you'll have to play to get up to that point entirely in your hands. After the jump you'll find a poll with our choices; your votes determine what will be played. We'll accept votes through November 10 at 11:59 EST; the top three will be played at the LoveSac NES Classic later this month.
Also, be sure to register to participate in the event by emailing LoveSacNESclassic @ gmail.com. Participating is free -- you just need to show up and have a good time! We already have a handful of confirmed Dtoid community members headed out to the event, and we'd love to see you there. The more the merrier.
Nick, please tell me where Elevator Action is. I simply cannot take part in this event unless Elevator Action is involved. Please, Nick, don't disappoint me.
ELEVATOR ACTION WILL STRIKE WITHOUT WARNING, LIKE A RON PAUL IN THE NIGHT.
