Current Event: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Competition number 38 is underway
Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Speedrun Competition Arrives on Nintendo Switch Online
Nintendo has brought back the classic NES speedruns with the release of the Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition on Nintendo Switch Online. This modern adaptation of the 1990s event offers players the chance to compete in speedrunning challenges from over 150 moments across 13 iconic NES games [1].
To participate, players need a Nintendo Switch Online membership, which can be purchased separately, and a Nintendo Account for online features. It's important to note that the NES games are not included in their entirety in the game [2].
Speedrunning requires mastery of precision, memorization, and pattern knowledge to complete designated segments of the NES games as quickly as possible. The competition features an online leaderboard to track the best times globally, although reports suggest that cheating has been an issue in online rankings [4].
For those interested in competing, it's recommended to ensure you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, download the NES Edition competition game when available, and keep an eye on official announcements or community speedrunning forums for entry details, rules, and schedules.
The Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is designed for both online competition against players worldwide and local multiplayer. However, internet access is required for online features. The game may not be available in all countries, and terms apply for online features, which can be found on Nintendo's website [3].
This speedrun competition is inspired by the original Nintendo World Championships cartridge and event history. It aims to celebrate classic game speedrunning through a modern online competitive format [2]. Other events, such as Summer Games Done Quick, showcase speedrunning, although not specifically this NES Edition competition. Community-driven competitions or leaderboards may have distinct rulesets and anti-cheat measures [1][4].
Remember, the goal is to have fun while testing your skills against others. So, gear up, and get ready to race through some of the most challenging moments in classic NES gaming history!
