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?
