Nintendo has brought back the classic NES gaming competition with the launch of the Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Competition #40 on Nintendo Switch Online. This modern revival of the iconic tournament allows players to test their skills against others from around the world.
The competition includes a selection of challenges from popular NES games such as Metroid, Excitebike, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario Bros. 2, and more. These challenges are available in both World Championships and Survival modes.
To participate, players need a Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately) and a Nintendo Account. Membership auto-renews after the initial term unless cancelled. Internet access is required for online features.
For those who prefer local multiplayer, the game also offers the option to challenge friends. Participants can strive to improve their personal bests in the game and check their overall placement and rank against other players in their birth year.
While the exact specifics for Competition #40 on Nintendo Switch Online are not detailed, it likely follows a similar format adapted for the online environment, with Nintendo Switch emulation or ports, time limits, and scoring criteria. The game does not include NES games in their entirety but features more than 150 challenging moments from 13 classic NES games.
Replays of the top runs for each challenge are available for participants to watch and learn from. These replays might provide tips to improve their own times. The competition will be available from now until 4/21 at 1:59 a.m. PT.
