Nintendo World Championships: NES EditionSpeedrunning Thrills with Nostalgic Challenges
The latest Switch title offers a blend of classic NES games and competitive speedrunning, but falls short in multiplayer and historical context.
- Features over 150 speed challenges across 13 classic NES titles, including Mario, Zelda, and Metroid.
- Speedrun mode allows players to perfect their times with quick retries and ghost data for self-competition.
- Local multiplayer supports up to eight players but suffers from poorly designed split-screen functionality.
- Online modes lack real-time competition and comprehensive leaderboards, limiting the competitive experience.
- The game does not include full versions of the NES titles, focusing solely on speedrun challenges.
