Author’s Note: Personally, I won't be able to play due to my housing situation and even if I could play I probably wouldn't because I have an extreme loathing for online play. However, I think it's pretty cool that Nintendo's giving people the option to play in online events like this and I hope everyone who participates has fun! Enough about my thoughts though, what do you think about this? Please let us know in the comments below!
