The Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition arrives on the Switch next month and to help promote this upcoming release a new overview trailer has been uploaded.
This trailer is only available on Nintendo's Japanese YouTube channel right now, but goes in-depth about the challenges across all of the games. It will also come with a special Survival Mode and Legend challenges - such as finishing a game in a single run. In case you missed our initial coverage, here are the titles that will be included in this new package:

- Super Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Bros. 2
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels
- Excitebike
- Ice Climber
- The Legend of Zelda
- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
- Donkey Kong
- Metroid
- Balloon Fight
- Kid Icarus
- Kirby's Adventure
If an English version of this trailer is released, we'll let you know. This title arrives on 18th July 2024 and will be available in a 'Deluxe Set' which comes with a Golden replica NES cartridge. In Japan, Switch fans will instead receive two wireless Famicom controllers designed for use with the Switch.

Pre ordered the day it was announced. Too cool not to get.
I was kind of immediately hyped for it when it was first announced but the closer it is to release the more unsure I am on it. Looks fun but also looks like the kind of thing where I might sooner rather than later just get bored with it.
One aspect I am loving are the beautifully presented hints and guides sections, laid out in a similar format to Nintendo Power. A cool idea and typical of the love and care that Nintendo put into their games.
Cannot wait for the 18th of July!
Nes remix 1 and 2 are one of the best games on wiiu. If only nintendo did a snes remix, nes remis 3 or even a nes remix 1 and 2 port on switch but they forgot about it. It looks like it's the closest thing to a nes remix we will get on switch so I preordered the deluxe version

Have you read the hands-on previews?

A lot of people are speculating that if this sells well, that it could be followed up with an SNES Edition, N64 Edition, GameCube edition.
But I haven't heard anyone speculate, what I hope, that it's possible they could in future expand the NES Edition to have even more games in addition to the existing 13 games. Maybe Punch-Out!!, Tetris, Dr. Mario, Mario Bros., Ice Hockey.
Or what if it expanded to 3rd party stuff?
How about a Capcom pack: Mega Man 1-6, Gargoyle's Quest II, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, DuckTales, Bionic Commando, Ghosts 'n Goblins, 1943: The Battle of Midway.
How about a Konami pack: Contra & Super C, Castlevania I-III, Jackal, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I-III, Bucky O'Hare, Blades of Steel, Gradius.
I could definitely see them adding a game or 2 every month to keep people playing. That's the Nintendo way.
Can we stop to appreciate how nice it is to see Kid Icarus getting some love and get featured among the Mario's, Zelda's, Kirby's and Metroids?
I really hope that if this performs well, Nintendo will finally scratch the itch I have for a SNES Remix / World Championships game. The 16-bit era is where it's at for me, personally.
It must be the Snes version next.
The new pieces of information should be based on what I remember of what has already been shown:
You know what? After seeing that the special edition is finally available again on the Japanese Amazon, the price of its equivalent here in Italy (€59,99) which doesn't include the controllers other than me preferring the Japanese box art for the included games and the price of the NES controllers on their own (also €59,99, not to mention that they are currently unavailable) I ended up preordering it (¥9,878, ¥14,981 with shipping so €88,64)!
I've preordered the Japanese version of this as it was just £15 more and if rather have a pair of the Famicom controllers than an empty gold cartridge
Just managed to pre-order this from the Nintendo UK site.
Roll on...
@carlos82 I’ve been looking around for the JP version with no success (except EBay). Where did you manage to preorder yours?
@RobotReptile it's on Amazon Japan https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B0D3Q69V5V/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=AN1VRQENFRJN5&psc=1&th=1
This must be a ton of fun!!!
@carlos82
Thank you!
Order came to $73 usd
@carlos82 thanks!
I doubt this will be as much fun as NES Remix 1 or 2!
Hang on, this isn't free??
@Deljo
Nope.
The initial announcement did make it seem like it was though.
Why aren't controllers included in other regions?
Almost the same games that are in the GBA Reader Cards.
Also, the same games that were GBA NES Classics
Also, also, the same games with the 3DS NES Ambassador Program
I dont know if I want physical or not. I preordered it as physical but dont really want all that tat. I tried to cancel my physical so we'll see if that cancellation went through.
Edit: no my cancellation didn't go through lol. I'll probably punt it into cex and just buy digital.
@Twilite9 I am really looking forward to Kid Icarus challenges. 😊
1. Don’t get killed by the Reaper.
2. Turn into an eggplant and get healed at the fortress hospital.
@Deljo Nope, people worked on this so they should get paid.
