Nintendothon New Horizons

Nintendothon New Horizons was a 5-day long charity marathon event of Nintendo games for the benefit of Direct Relief's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This event was the sixth stream in the Nintendothon series.

Nintendothon New Horizons ran as a part of the Relay for Relief campaign, which raised a total of $1,702.09.

The majority of the donation incentives for the event were tied into the Mystery Balloon system to tie in with the Animal Crossing theme. Three different tiers of balloons with three different colors were used to split incentives up by how significant they were.

The Spincentive model was also adjusted for the marathon. Every donation of $10+ resulted in one Spincentive, with bonus spins being earned from Mystery Balloon rewards. Spincentives were also able to be earned for free with Impact Points in the GFGC Twitch Chat.

Nintendothon New Horizons was the first event to introduce Leaflets, a donor recognition system. For every donation regardless of size, the donor's name was written on a leaf-shaped sticky note and placed on the wall behind the gameplay couch.

The event was slightly scaled back due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to assist in limiting the likelihood for the virus to spread through the Attendee cast. This resulted in the event only having a total of 6 attendees, and games being limited to only having three people playing at one given time.
