"Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition", a new NES Remix-like game, launching July 18th

​


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 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"

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.

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)

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
