Nintendo World Championships: Week 3 - NES Edition Competition
Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Returns on Nintendo Switch
Nintendo has brought back the classic Nintendo World Championships (NWC) with a new twist, the NES Edition, available exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online members. The competition runs from now until August 5th at 1:59 a.m. PT, giving players a limited time to participate.
The NES Edition allows players to test their skills against each other and improve their gaming prowess. The game features challenges from popular Nintendo games like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Excitebike, and Kirby's Adventure. Players can compete in World Championships and Survival modes, including Mushroom 2 (Super Mario Bros. 3), Cool It (Excitebike), Aquamentus Argumentus (The Legend of Zelda), Exit Stage Right (Kirby's Adventure), and Mario Master (Super Mario Bros.).
Participants can check their overall placement and compare their scores with other players in their birth year. They can also find their placement and watch replays by accessing the game on their Nintendo Switch. For those who want to improve their times, the game offers replays of the top runs from the previous week's competition.
The competition is not just limited to single-player mode. Players can also challenge their friends in local multiplayer mode (additional accessories may be required, sold separately). For those who prefer to compete online, internet access is required.
It's important to note that Nintendo's policy requires advance permissions for events showcasing their games, which may limit unofficial public speedruns or competitions.

For precise official details or rules, consulting Nintendo’s official announcements or the Nintendo Switch Online platform directly would be necessary.
