The Nintendo World Championships return with a twist! Take on over 150 retro speed-running challenges in Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, launching July 18th on Nintendo Switch.

 

[Woopah]

Another filler title for 2024, we need that June Direct.

Also this is an odd way to announce it haha

 

[Jaruru]

Pyoro is right once again!

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Nintendo doing the Switch like they did the Wii-U as its life comes to an end. lol.

"Thanks for the money, now buy our next product!"

 

[Power Pro]

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

The Japanese special edition looks pretty dope.

 

[Rran]

Welp, it's sold out already.

 

[RoboFu]

There's my GOTY. Not even joking.

 

[TintoConCasera]

That's cute. Thought at first it would be some freebie like the Tetris or F-Zero online stuff, but I guess I'm wrong.

 

[ManaByte]

Physical edition in US?

 

[AJUMP23]

I think this looks like a lot of fun.

Nintendo most brilliant company.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

It's NES Remix pretty much, but I'm down. Cool deluxe edition.

 

[justiceiro]

I guess there will never be a nes remix port for switch then.

I just find a shame the cartridge don't work.

 

[tommib]

It’s gone.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Welp, it's sold out already.

Why does Nintendo do this to me?

Oh well, I guess the scalpers will get my money on this one .. *sigh*

 

[Krathoon]

I remember there being an AVGN episode about this. Like the cartridge for this is rare.

 

[Krathoon]

I would just get the eShop version. It is not really worth collecting.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Welp, it's sold out already.

Are you talking about the physical deluxe set that's listed on the Nintendo Store? If so then keep this in mind:

 

[Sp3eD]

Should be included in the base NSO. Pretty much a new repackage of nes remix with multiplayer.


I’m down for it as the Wii U versions were fun, but as said above this is 2024 before switch 2 filler here.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

The Japanese physical version looks amazing. Play Asia to my rescue (hopefully)

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Another filler title for 2024, we need that June Direct.

Also this is an odd way to announce it haha

July 18 is way too close to wait to announce it til the June Direct. And clearly nothing else is coming til August/September at the earliest.

Also, I mean, clearly it’s not a premium AAA $60 release.

 

[Portugeezer]

Nice trailer, but this game deserved no more than a tweet.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Ok so how much of this is repurposed NES Remix from 2013 vs the original NES version? Never played the original on NES.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Nintendo doing the Switch like they did the Wii-U as its life comes to an end. lol.

"Thanks for the money, now buy our next product!"

There is zero similarity to how they’ve supported Switch vs how they supported Wii U.

Console transition years always have a few minor-scale titles to fill in the calendar before the next console comes out. This is no different.

 

[ssringo]

Perfect game for the social media crowd. No more than 30 seconds of game at a time.

 

[StereoVsn]

The Japanese special edition looks pretty dope.

It really does look great. I wonder if this will pop up on Amazon.co.jp or Play-Asia.

I meant that I think they are saving the exciting announcements for the June Direct, which is why we've only got filler games recently. Sorry for the confusion .

 

[Hardensoul]

What sold out!!

 

[BlackTron]

This is actually cool I liked NES remix.

 

[tkscz]

Honestly, as a kid who watched a rerun of the 1990s competition, I always wanted to know what it was like, so maybe I'll buy depending on price.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

What sold out!!

The Deluxe? Yeah they don’t make very many. NoA loves to sell out of limited run physical copies

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

I doubt it’ll do very well. Marketed to hardcore NES lovers, but that’s not who would buy the game. At least for the most part.

 

[Andyliini]

I've been asking for NES Remix to come back for years, so I'll take it.

 

[00_Zer0]

It's NES Remix pretty much, but I'm down. Cool deluxe edition.

Hopefully they bring the Remix series back though or integrate remix type challenges, because from what I see these are all vanilla challenges found in their original games with their original characters. Racing to an exit door in Metroid, as Samus really? Saving grace might be leader boards if you're into that sort of thing, but the mini challenges shown thus far seem mundane.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

So these cartridges are no longer worth anything?

 

[ManaByte]

So these cartridges are no longer worth anything?

No. Those are SMB, Tetris, and Rad Racer.

 

[bender]

I'll have to pay scalpers price for the Japanese version. That Joy-Con looks awesome. US Special Edition kind of sucks.

 

[Rran]

Is there a way to order the JPN version? Are those Famicom controllers functional? If that's the same price, I may go in on that, it's terrific.

Why does Nintendo do this to me?

Oh well, I guess the scalpers will get my money on this one .. *sigh*

Physical version can be grabbed here, at least for now: https://www.gamestop.com/video-game...ips-nes-edition---nintendo-switch/408781.html

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Im gonna buy it....i will be rich

 

[AJUMP23]

Looks like a lot of fun. Going to get it. I want the physical.

Sounds like it requires a Japanese shipping address and you'd need to switch the region on your NID.

 

[cireza]

Take on incredible challenges like :
- reaching the first door of the game
- grabbing the first mushroom of the game
- defeating the very first enemy you encounter in the game

WTF is this shit ?

"Not Available"

lol

thx tho

 

[Chittagong]

The Japanese special edition looks pretty dope.

Everything except the game itself looks stunning.

Is this the first time Famicom replica controllers are available as slide ins for Switch or did those always exist?

I believe they did in Japan.

 

[Days like these...]

Why do all the people that competed in 2017 look like they've aged 20 years?

I went to the original in 1990.
