Pyoro’s insider information is therefore confirmed by the trailer posted online yesterday, formalizing the existence of this nostalgia operation very clearly aimed at the American public. Using the logo of the Nintendo World Championships held in 1990, 2015 and 2017, this compilation will offer “more than 150 speedrunning challenges” taken from 13 NES classics. Time trial challenges with varied objectives, such as eliminating Octoroks in Zelda or a race towards the first mushroom in 1-1 in Super Mario Bros., which inevitably evoke the NES Remix duology released on 3DS and Wii U.
“Patrick, world champion!“
Among the new features, we will notice the presence of a multi mode for up to 8 players locally, dividing the screen into as many game instances which risk causing astigmatism. On the online side, the World Championship mode will offer global rankings on a rotation of 5 weekly minigames. Maximalists coveting the physical Deluxe Edition, including goodies like pins, lithographs and a fake gold NES cartridge, will have to register on the mailing list from the official website, the pack being exclusive to the My Nintendo Store in France.
