After 85 hours of continuous, non-stop gaming, we’ve raised over $1,000 for the National Children’s Advocacy Center, making a priceless impact on the lives of children.

We’ll update the site with a proper wrap up later once we’ve had some sleep, but for now we’d just like to say that it was an honor to play for all of you. Please, keep sending us emails, follow us on Twitter, friend us on Facebook, and keep in touch!

Our next fundraising event will be in December. We hope to announce a date and more details next month.

Thank you all again for an amazing Zeldathon.

-Your Zeldathon ‘10 Team

It’s looking like it’ll be during the last weekend of April. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.

Often I don’t like to post about preliminary thoughts on what we’re thinking for future events, but I think it’s time to start giving you guys some more updates on what we’re doing in the interest of maintaining the community we’ve established and in an effort to expand that community.

Even with the SNES Classics event over, our website has still received a fairly decent amount of traffic, and we want to give you guys a reason to keep coming back.

The SNES Classic Event finished after almost exactly 48 hours of continuous gameplay, at 7:45pm on Sunday, December 20. We had to make a few substitutions which are listed in the games section of our website, but for the most part we kept true to the spirit of the event. We showed what a great console the SNES was. Although we didn’t meet our goal, we still raised a decent amount of money for an outstanding organization.

For our next two events, we have a possible exhibition race against the Wily Whompers Team in a “Platformers Classic.” We have a lot of raw ideas for games, but nothing concrete yet. You may have some more Mario, and Mega Man to look forward to, along with Crash Bandicoot to look forward to, but who knows? This will likely take place in the middle of May. I’ll try to see if the team is willing to do something smaller, sooner, but this may be the earliest event of 2010.

Obviously, we’re doing Zeldathon ‘10. It may be a bit earlier this year and be held in July, but we’ll keep you posted.

What did you think of SNES Classics?

We’ve been practicing around the clock the past several days in preparation for the event and we’re hoping to deliver a really fun event for a great cause.

Andrew Julian will be making his much awaited return on Saturday. This may be his last event with the Zeldathon Team, so make sure to tune and perhaps dissuade him from leaving us!

Our new forum is almost ready to go. Amanda has been kind enough to set it up and we’ll be linking to it soon.

Zeldathon: SNES Classics starts tomorrow at 6:00pm EST. We’ll be putting the webcast and chat on the home page tomorrow.

Tune in, it’s going to be awesome. Promise.

I’ve transfered our web site over to new web space so we can have a bit more freedom with it and add some extra things.

I still have the old web site saved, so it should be back up and running normally soon, just be patient with us.

Zeldathon: SNES Classics is still on for this Friday, December 18, at 6:00pm EST, raising money for the National Children’s Advocacy Center.
