Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition releases July 18th on Nintendo Switch (Deluxe Set also announced)
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Yeah this could be part of NSO where they could add new challenge and platform over time.
Went ahead and snagged the Deluxe version from GameStop. Got a hunch that it'll be super rare down the road. I don't have much nostalgia for the NES honestly, I was a SNES kid. But I do love mini-games and speed running sidescrollers so I'll definitely enjoy this.
I'd imagine it's cause they rebuilt every bit from the ground up that's in the challenge, so jumping to the original games would be jarring unless they completely rebuilt them in the engine. Which would be a lot of work. I agree it's a bummer tho
Much like a lot of Nintendo things, I like the idea at its core, but I love the implication in it's naming that we could get variants for other consoles. Much like NES Rem--ah, fuck.
Totally getting the Deluxe box as soon as it goes up for order in the UK. I hope this sells well, would really like a SNES Edition.
As expected: NES Remix, without the remix challenges, and with more of a competitive tilt to it. Looks fun enough, will pre-order. I do like the timer in the bottom-left... it looks exactly like LiveSplit - I suspect on purpose!
Not sure why people are complaining that full games aren't included, they weren't in NES Remix either (ignoring Super Luigi Bros. and whatnot).

Don't see a store pickup option which means it's going to be absolutely crushed in shipping but alright!
Dummies can't even include the full games lol but I'm a sucker and got the collectors edition from Best Buy, that gold cart is cool
They complained when the full games weren't in NES Remix and instead you got store links to the full games. They are still going to complain now.
Especially as the only way to get these old retro NES games now is to keep a consistent NSO subscription. Having one way to play them not tied to a subscription service as the console enters it's final years would have been nice.
My assumption is that this'll be the only physical release
So NES Remix 3 but not really.
Definitely "low effort filler", but looks like it could be fun at gatherings.

Ugh I desperately want those Famicom controllers. Hopefully there will be an easy way to preorder the Japanese set in the US.
I wouldn't. Amazon didn't hold Endless Ocean Luminous, Paper Mario or Luigi's Mansion 2 preorders. It seems like there's some weird issue with Amazon and Nintendo. I'd just go for Best Buy or Target.
Good call, I remember seeing people complain about that. I usually just walk into a store and buy games at launch so I hadn't pre-ordered in a while
Yeah, no problem. People kinda forget about this so I hope people just use this post as a reminder to not get their Nintendo stuff through Amazon. It's just not worth the risk of getting orders cancelled right around release. Instead, just opt for Target or Best Buy because you'll at least get your stuff. GameStop Id also ignore because GameStop accepts too many preorders and then cancels them too.
More of a SNES guy so i think I'll pre-order the physical for that if they make it. This game will be fun to watch in streams though.
Already sold out LMAO
It's funny reading the people complaining here while the reality is this ^
Its exclusive to the nintendo store in the UK and going to guess ultra limited considering they say "Please note that this product will initially be available for pre-order by invitation only. By registering your interest, you'll receive an invite and be one of the first in line to pre-order this product. Available while stocks lasts."
Heres the link -
Never hold out on items like these. Always lock in the order somewhere and then cancel if something better comes up. I ordered at GameStop with the intention of cancelling if I could preorder it from somewhere better.
I'm honestly so gutted we never got SNES Remix, Gameboy Remix etc
It was like Warioware with just the 8 Bit games.
I'm all digital but I want those physical extras. I preordered both on the Eshop and bestbuy. I figure I can sell the physical game to someone
The Japanese Deluxe Set is cooler tbh.
Jeez I might have to import this.
That being said, I love the NES to pieces, and it's easily my favorite console of all time, but the deluxe edition doesn't spark joy in me at all. It just feels like a cash grab.

Yeah, definitely importing (if I can). This looks so much better than the NA version (big surprise). Like what am I going to do with a replica cart that doesn't work? At least I can use those Famicom controllers.

If this was something I truly wanted instead of a novelty type thing, sure, I usually throw multiple pre-orders up, but I wasn't that worried about it. I just despise Gamestop and dislike Best Buy's glacial shipping and have a ton of Amazon credits, but I ended up going with Best Buy. Hope Amazon figure their shit out eventually
