Nicholas Membrez-Weiler Collection
At seven years old, Nicholas Membrez-Weiler was the youngest finalist in the inaugural Nintendo World Championship. The tournament was divided into three separate age groups: 11-and-under, 12-to-17, and 18-and-over. Most of the items in the collection are unique to Nicholas and his family, including his parents, Chris “Grizz” Weiler and Michelle Membrez, who also entered the tournament.
Although he did not win the Nintendo World Championships, Nicholas Membrez-Weiler was a trailblazer for the early esports community. At only seven years old, he had competed on the national stage and bested hundreds of thousands of other children from across the country. The success that he and the other NWC finalists had was chronicled in newspapers, magazines, and television. That experience helped create the necessary desire and passion among gamers for esports to become a permanent fixture in American culture.
Given the significance of the 1990 Nintendo World Championship, memorabilia associated with this event is highly desirable. It represents the moment in which gaming finally broke through the glass ceiling, both as an artistic medium and a competitive platform. As such, news of this collection's sale has been reported by the Associated Press, Yahoo!, and other organizations. Click here to hear Vincent Zurzolo talk about the collection.
Upon arrival at Universal Studios, Nintendo of America’s representatives handed each finalist an N.W.C. Contestant Information Sheet and an envelope that included two Backstage Pass Stickers and two VIP Guest Stickers, as well as instructions on when to wear them. Nintendo also gifted each finalist a Nintendo World Championships Hat and a Nintendo World Championships Black Bag. Nicholas stored most of the items from the collection in this bag. Because the Membrez-Weilers competed in nine separate cities, they were able to accumulate several pieces of NWC merchandise.
