If this includes the actual full games I'd consider buying it, but if it's nothing but the challenges I'll have to pass. I was never one for speed runs n that kinda stuff!
Glad to see that there are folks who are looking forward to this though!
How do you want me to play like 1990 if two out of the three games featured in that event are missing? This makes me very mildly irritated. half-heartedly shakes fist
Other than that, looks alright. I'll probably stick with NES Remix, but this might be enticing to some other folks.
@KayFiOS Well I guess that's more your style if you don't care about the competitiveness side about it, so I cant really speak anything on that. For me I love speed runs and watching them, and seeing Nintendo lean into that in a more main stream sense is awesome. Multiplayer is a big time plus over that game, but with less actual challenges Id like to see it maybe 5 to 10 dollars cheaper. Who knows though, maybe more challenges are introduced through updates.
@coolioam We'll see how much better it is when we can actually see all the challenges, but I'd bet that there will be quite a few that are recycled from NES Remix Pack. In any case, I don't feel like it's a good trade-off, paying the same price as NESRP and getting fewer challenges over slightly better emulation and a competitive scene that I won't even care about.
Looks great, I love the lean on the retro setting and nostalgia with the branding. Finally a way to play NES Remix in multiplayer! This is might be worthy of a Deluxe Set purchase!
The game lineup is a bit disappointing compared to NES Remix Pack, NWC is Ultimate NES Remix but with 4 fewer games and without the Remix mode. I'll pick it up but I would've much rather had NES Remix Pack ported over from Wii U.
@JohnnyMind It's to do with the physical release, those generally need at least 2 months between announce and release.
@KayFiOS The emulation quality in NES Remix was terrible and was if anything just a more fleshed out section of 9-Volts minigames from Wario Ware. It really wasn't anything special and there was only a few remixes, and even fewer that were actually cool. I think people are forgetting what that game actually was. This leans way more into the competitive scene than that did.
I loved Remix 1 and 2 on WiiU, so I’ll financially back this one in hopes it brings us ESS-en-ee-ess Remix. Then we’d be playing with power. super remixed power
Wish it had the remixed levels from NES Remix, were kind of the high point of the games, but either way I'll probably pick this up.
Not really minding that it's got less games than those did given it's just a much stronger lineup of games. The only real duds in this batch in my view are Excitebike and Metroid and the things I dislike about the first Metroid aren't really problems that'd be present in this anyway.
Kind of surprised they're announcing it practically immediately after confirming the June Direct but anyway, looks cool regardless of the comparisons for better and worse with NES Remix so I'll definitely get it and give it a try even though I don't think I'll be that good at it!
@bobby_steurer That's not actually me, it's a pic of Brie Larson holding a marrow. A few years ago Nintendolife started posting articles about her since she became a Nintendo Ambassador and she ran a blog about her love of Nintendo. For whatever reason when an article popped up the comment sections would exploded which made me laugh so I used her as an avatar.
@ThatSneakman It's not sold out so you can still get tixs, it rarely ever sells out as they can scale up the capacity when it's a big year.
This is just NES Remix with added multiplayer, which is fine, but it's very bizarre to see how far they're leaning into the World Championships branding for a game like this.
Very surprised they didn't save this for the confirmed June Direct but I don't really mind in the slightest because this looks like a great time. Still unsure as to whether it's worth the €30 entry fee (even if the Deluxe Edition is suitably brilliant) and I really wish they managed to snag some 3rd Party titles for this (Mega Man 2, Castlevania, Pac-Man, etc.) but besides those minor grievances, this is looking like a really cool evolution of the NES Remix titles and I'll probably end up picking it up later down the line!
also, as an aside, there's something so immensely jarring yet charming about seeing the most basic LiveSplit-esque timer in the bottom lefthand corner of the gameplay XD
@1UP_MARIO Hardly. The first NES Remix had 16 games, and it offered 204 Challenges, including Bonus and Remix stages, and cost half as much as Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, which has 13 games and "over 150 challenges." Even comparing it against NES Remix 2, which only had 12 games, it still had 169 challenges, including Bonus and Remix stages and cost half as much. This is an objectively worse version of NES Remix Pack, and I kind of wish Nintendo just ported that over instead.
If you bring your switch to download it isn't getting lost, trampled or damaged. It's getting stolen. Serious problem at download. But i grew up playing games and listening to metal. More into the metal side of things now but yeah we do exist.
We need more eshop titles like this. This looks like a blast, and might get me to purchase those NSO NES controllers if I get sucked into this, which I think I will. That deluxe edition is gonna be scalped so hard. Also multiplayer is an awesome feature that everyone seems to be overlooking.
Also I love how competitive the UI feels, even showing the inputs and the timer every where like a streamer speed running.
EDIT: After reading some comments I don't think people realize how bad the emulation quality was in NES Remix. Also how really 85% of challenges like "stomp on 3 goombas" or "grab the sword" instead of the remixes, which those in itself only had a small handful that were actually cool and not just crummy photoshop filters slapped on a bad rom of the game. This looks much more fleshed out.
Really should give the Cotton series a try when I have the time including this one, especially now that it's better thanks to the quality-of-life features in this rerelease. Thanks for the review!
I'm really glad that the Deluxe Edition actually comes with a cart. I was worried when I first saw it that it was going to be like the Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon release
I already ordered it from F4F a few months ago, and it's on its way over now. The problem is figuring out where the heck I'm going to put this massive beast so that my cat won't mess with it 😂

UK only?? I thought that was primarily Master System territory.
Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
@KayFiOS I agree. I did get both remix free with mynintendo. Good value
Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
I loved NES Remix on Wii U and 3DS, so hopefully this is pretty similar. Definitely worth checking out for me.
Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
The speedrun mode has a LiveSplit style timer, right down to the font and smaller milliseconds display, that's really cute.
Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
What if they just ported NES Remix 1+2 instead?
Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
I like that it's got local multiplayer.

Re: Stunning Metroid Prime 'Meta Ridley' Statue Up For Pre-Order, But It'll Cost You
I'll settle for the Ridley Amiibo. It's less costly and won't take up as much space.
Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
@MarioBrickLayer It unfortunately won’t have any of the games in full.
Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
No Rad Racer?
No Tetris?
No buys.

Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
I hate speed runs, so this has no appeal to me at all.
Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
What are the chances this includes each game in full as well as the challenges?
Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
Just make SNES remix already. Been waiting for that since the release of Nes Remix Vol.2
Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
@IceClimbersMain The eShop page specifically says they're not, because again, Nintendo.

Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
Not something that’s for me since I’m bad at like every NES game. It also seems like you’d have to be a speed runner to get the most out of this.
But hopefully whoever ends up buying this enjoys it nonetheless.

NES Remix without the....remix....
Eh, it's neat, but it really feels like Nintendo is just trying to put out whatever the can to tide people over until next year with the new system.

Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
Not really excited about this one to be honest. Maybe I will buy it on a sale.
Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
This seems to be a slightly worse version of Ultimate NES Remix on 3DS....but man if Im not a sucker for these types of games.

I'm so tempted to buy the physical edition just to try and put the NES cartridge in my NES.

Is it just me, or does this feel like a step down from NES Remix?
