A few days ago, an ESRB rating surfaced for Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition. Today, Nintendo has officially announced that the game is coming to Nintendo Switch. It is packed with timed speedrun challenges in multiple classic NES games, including Metroid. From clips shown in the trailer, the Metroid challenges have you try to reach points of interest as quickly as possible, like getting to the Morph Ball. The faster your time, the better your ranking, S being the highest. There’s also a Party Mode where up to eight players can compete in the same challenge.
Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition will be released on July 18th, in digital and a physical Collector’s Edition form. The physical edition will include a gold replica NES cartridge, thirteen art cards and five pins.
