​

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.

Well, it was neat to see all those former competitors just livin it up. Specially the ending, saying "who is that guy?" to the original champion. Now, about the game, I doubt it will be better than the NES Remix 1 & 2 and Remix, and even those game burned up very quickly for me (back in the Wii U and later 3DS times)

But it is kinda of a nice little addition to the mix, in this last year of switch games.

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.

I mean, what did it spoil exactly?

That it existed vs some big surprise? I don’t follow you there

what did it spoil exactly?

While they lack direct evidence of revealing spoilers, they often present images of upcoming games for the Switch in a cryptic manner, which is sufficient to spark speculation and nearly accurate predictions about the forthcoming titles.

Gimmicky AF.
Challenges feel like pulled out of Nintendo's lawyers asses.
"Huuur grab the mushroom fastest, huur"
I’m going to do the challenge where I don’t play the game.
A challenge might be, I dunno, finishing the game without power ups?
Not grabbing a coin for the entire level?
Harder enemies?

I’m doing the challenge where I don’t play the game. Haha

150+ challenges is fine for me

Bruh half the challenges are like 4-15 seconds long

 

[17hitcombooo]

you mean this isn't something for nso?

 

[ut2k4master]

Bruh half the challenges are like 4-15 seconds long

its about perfecting them, not doing them just once

I feel like I'm part of the audience that appreciates bite-sized portions of NES gaming and speedruns + high scores so I'm down with this.

I was trying to spot what the 13th game was, then realized they're counting "The Lost Levels" as one of the games. Pshh
Would be cool if they were able to throw in some 3rd party classics.

So this is basically NES Remix, but mid as fuck

 

[orangy57]

Looks like NES remix without the Remix, really boring TBH

 

[hippy dave]

I loved Ultimate NES Remix. I'll probably give this a try (), but idk if it will hold my interest quite as well.
I should play NES Remix 1 & 2 next time I hook up the wee you.

 

[Bladexdsl]

shitty nes games with pointless achievements tacked in at full price! silly nintendo fanboys eating it up too

 

[yoshi_nysa]

Ah yes, Nintendo doing the bare minimum at it's finest.

 

[MarkDarkness]

The previous titles did very little to explore what would have been really interesting, with only a few challenges making one game break into the other like some contemporary hacks do with Zelda/Metroid and such. This looks like it will have even less of that.

As a professional ultimate nes remix speedrunner, this makes me happy.

Dang, why does everyone hate this already?

 

[BlueFox gui]

imagine paying 30 or 60usd for NES games?? god this is so stup- oh OH OH OH THERE THEY ARE, the NINTENDOIDS ready to BURN their money once again!

 

[ut2k4master]

Dang, why does everyone hate this already?

because its gbatemp

I played all the way through both NES Remix games on the Wii U and then Ultimate NES Remix later. This game, however, feels like a quick cash grab right from the start. Seems like it contains less content overall. And now that NSO is a thing, you'd expect more than that. At least I do. Why not make SNES Remix a thing instead of rehashing the same stuff we have already and coupling it with an exceptionally bad UI?

 

[osaka35]

I'll play if it's free. though i think I'll just play last year's warioware game instead.
