​

After rumour got out about an upcoming NES Edition release for the famed Nintendo World Championships, Nintendo has officially unveiled the new game, titled "Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition".

The title seems to be similar in gameplay and focus (kind of a successor even) to what the NES Remix titles were in the Wii U, with timed challenges being available from a wide variety of NES titles, like the original The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. 1, 2 & 3, Ice Climbers, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Excitebike and much more, with up to 13 NES games to choose from.

Completed challenges and their times can be shared online to compete for the top spot, a "Speedrun Mode" is included to play for the best possible times, and a "Party Mode" that allows for up to 8 players locally to play at the same time and compete for the best times.

Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition will be available on July 18th, 2024, on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch.
A Deluxe set for the game will also be available, including a golden replica cartridge, 13 art cards for the NES games, 5 pins and the physical game cart for the Nintendo Switch.

I wished that I've didn't have Pyoro spoiling about this game too early. But it's great to have a form of NES Remix back on the Switch.

Fuck Pyoro and his intentions of spoiling content.

now this is something that should be givin free with Nintendo plus subscription

Only 13 games? Man, that's a bummer. NES remix on the Wii U and 3DS had way more games than that. Oh well. At least its something new.

 

[Cranesbill]

Has the same feeling as those 99 battle royal Nintendo games, but with a little more content. I’m moderately anticipated for this,

I hope it's good, but the challenges they showed off seem a little on the basic side. Feels like it's built as an easy nostalgia/dopamine rush. "OOOHHH, YOU GRABBED THE FIRST MUSHROOM IN MARIO BROS, GOOD JOB CONGRATS, YOU'RE THE BEST"

 

[Bladexdsl]

Oh well. At least its something new.

something new? it's paying full price for OLD shit yet again!

 

[JuanMena]

Gimmicky AF.
Challenges feel like pulled out of Nintendo's lawyers asses.
"Huuur grab the mushroom fastest, huur"

A challenge might be, I dunno, finishing the game without power ups?
Not grabbing a coin for the entire level?
Harder enemies?

Way more? Uh. No.

NES Remix = 16 games
NES Remix 2 = 12 games
NES Remix Pack = 28 games (However, this was just the first two titles in one but they were still separate titles. You had to pick between playing the first or second. The NES games weren't combined into a single game like with Ultimate NES Remix)
Ultimate NES Remix = 16 games (that were all just a compilation of games from the first two)

something new? it's paying full price for OLD shit yet again!

So like reading your comments then.

ESRB specified in-app purchases but that may just be the prompt to buy NSO since that technically counts.

I honestly thought this was going to be free right up until the part where they started talking about the deluxe set.

I'd be more disappointed if there is actual DLC, since it's essentially reselling small sections of NES games. Especially if they release the DLC alongside the game.

Cool, I always love modern approaches at retro games and this looks fun. I'll be sure to grab it.

 

[MaxiBash]

Looks like a neat take on NES Remix, but without the remix challenges which is a shame. Multiplayer mode looks fun, but I want to know who they hired for their UI design. It looks cluttered as all hell.

This is kinda lame, but the fans will eat it up.

Exactly. I thought it'd be an NSO game.

It's clear the end of the Switch is near now.

Woof. Hadn't seen this. That is a terrible UI.

Only because there's nothing after the Thousand Year Door. (I'm not getting Dark Moon HD)

 

[ciaomao]

150+ challenges is fine for me

 

[ebussy_foot]

Considering they're announcing the Switch's successor by the end of the fiscal year I'd imagine that anything remotely high budget has moved over development to that system (if it wasn't already in the first place). We'll probably get games like this for the remainder of the Switch's lifespan.
For example, Metroid Prime 4 will almost certainly be a Switch 2 launch title. Assuming the game even still exists.
