Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition[a] is a 2024 upcoming video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch system. It is based on the esports competition, Nintendo World Championships.[1] The game is set to be released on July 18, 2024 digitally on the Nintendo eShop and as a physical deluxe edition in stores.[2]

Gameplay[edit]

Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition focuses on players speedrunning certain objectives, known as Challenges, in NES-era Nintendo video games, aiming to complete these tasks as fast as possible. Players are given specific grades for completing these Challenges based on how fast they completed them and are given coins to spend on unlocking new Challenges. Unlike the actual Nintendo World Championships in 1990 or the Nintendo World Championships Remix mode within NES Remix, there is no mode within NES Edition that uses a points system over three games.[3]

Modes[edit]

  • Speedrun Mode - Players have to speedrun specific Challenges as fast as possible on their own. Coins earned in the game can be used to unlock new Challenges to complete in this mode.[3]
  • World Championships - Players speedrun five different Challenges consecutively, with the time spent on them being tallied and placed onto an online leaderboard. The World Championships mode consists of weekly Competitions, with the list of Challenges updated each week.[4]
  • Party Mode - Up to 8 players in local multiplayer compete to see who can complete Challenges the fastest. Each player is given points after each Challenge (known in the mode as a Match) that are accumulated to determine a winner.[2]

The following games are set to be featured in this game:[2]
