Every year, Nintendo holds its Camp Hyrule, a week-long online summer camp dedicated to everything Nintendo. Discussing everything from Mario to Zelda, the camp unites gamers around the globe. Normally, Camp Hyrule is offered to the first few thousands of people who register, but this year Nintendo is allowing everyone and everything to register and experience Camp Hyrule. Instead of a couple of thousand users attending the camp, Camp Hyrule has the potential to have over a million people attend from all over the world. And seeing how this is Nintendo’s big year by releasing their Gaming Giants for the GameCube and Game Boy Advance, Camp Hyrule should be the largest public event for gamers.
Camp Hyrule works just as a normal camp would work. Users are assigned to cabins with several other bunkmates who you’ll be chatting with for the whole week. Your cabin can also compete with other cabins and win prizes in daily objectives, such as writing haikus or drawing pictures. When not in your bunk, you can explore the camp and such landmarks as Super Mario Sunshine Beach, Samus’ Spaceship, and Kirby’s Mess Hall and many more. In each of these online locales, you can access information, videos, screenshots, Flash games, and chat with other campers about your favorite Nintendo topics. There are many other interactive activities to be found at Camp Hyrule, such as interviews with industry insiders and competitions to win prizes, and many of the greatest events of the show are kept secret until the week of the camp.
Camp Hyrule will be from August 19 to August 23. Registration begins August 6 and lasts until August 8 at the Camp Hyrule site at www.CampHyrule.com. You can also visit the site to learn more about past camps and about how Camp Hyrule works.
