NES remix actually had hacks and they were the only really interesting bit in these games, as they offered some light novelty.

It says a lot that when Nintendo has nothing ready to show, they always fall back to the NES.
Anyway, this basically confirms that there's no more big games coming to the Switch. We may get an announcement for more remasters for the holiday season, but the Switch 2 can't be officially announced too soon at this point.

Well, there is still a holiday season to go through, so they might wait for the beginning of next year to announce Switch 2, and use some bundles to drive a few more sales for the original console this holiday. Announcing Switch 2 before would not help the Switch.

I kind of want the physical edition, it looks pretty dope. But I don't really want the game as such.

It's like in an episode of Malcolm in the middle, where I see people who look 40 years old and say they are 19 years old

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

Don't really care about NES games, the Japanese version looks decent for the price. US version is a complete joke, no idea why anyone would want to buy this.

Well i have scoured every japanese site i can think of for preorders and the only place i see it available is the japanese my nintendo store, annoyingly the famicom joycons were a mynintendo store exclusive which makes me wonder if this isn't going to appear on any other store. They may appear from resellers at a disgusting markup on amazon marketplacebut that's about it.
Will have a go at weekend to set up my middleman forwarding address on my japanese account and then see if it will accept my uk credit card, i knkow on the my nintendo store it says that preorders can't be cancelled once placed so i'll have to be careful i don't mess it up.

The NES still stands as Nintendo's best console, so I'm not surprised.

What’s in that booklet included in the physical edition?
The US version is lame… except for that golden cartridge.

This looks bad. Only interesting thing was the trailer with the old tournament footage.

Curious to know what you were expecting?

I wasn't expecting anything. New game announced; clicked and watched the trailer. Saw zero compelling gameplay footage. UI looks basic. They didn't explain at all what the hook is. Is it just playing 5 second chunks of 12 NES games? At least Nintendo Remix was remixing things.

They basically selling what the levels of the games played on the Nintendo World Championships.
But by itself I wouldn’t buy it. I just want the special editions for my Collection. Which I think looks good. I snagged both versions US and Japanese!

So it is the actual original tournament levels? That's at least interesting for preservation purposes. I wonder if it comes with any documentary footage or interviews. I'd be more interested if it was treated like the Atari 50 collection or something. I would consider this for very cheap. Guess I'll see what reviews say. The physical packaging is cool though.They basically selling what the levels of the games played on the Nintendo World Championships.

That’s what the advert was saying. They showed the past competitors from 2015 to recent.

I just pre-ordered it on Amazon.co.jp.

Come on...those famicom controllers look fantastic!
Also a gigantic thank you to
Hardensoul
for posting the availability for the sets. Observation: Nintendo can repackage games from 40 years ago, albeit with a coat of polish and some cool remix game mechanics, and release it without closing 15 studios and spending 500 million dollars.
Weird…

Yeah, Nintendo's great. You got to get off the brain rot man. We have 10 threads on it, go to one of those.

I’d love it to be like the Atari 50 collection. Sadly I don’t think Nintendo will go quite that all in, I dont think it’s trying to exactly emulate the feel of that original contest despite the name as there’s way more games than the 3 used in the contest. I think it’s just another variant of nes remix with some online multiplayer added. The game is pretty much a budget title, the stand alone physical is just over £20 in japan so it’s one of Nintendos cheaper releases.

One thing I didn't notice about this game until today's Direct is that it shows the controller inputs for all of the players' ghosts. That's kind of cool.
I wonder if they left the ROMs untouched... It'd actually be insanely cool if top speedrunners could upload their records using all of the glitches of the original NES games. Imagine being able to race a sub-5 SMB run. That'd be so sick.

Everyone says it is like NES remix but it would probably be better if it was.
But if you want to just mess around with NES games with your friends this is probably a better answer than bringing a Wii U into the conversation.
