As with previous Nintendo World Championships (NWC) and NES Edition events, players will compete in a series of classic NES game challenges. The competition might be organized as time-limited events with specific point-based or score-based objectives across selected NES titles. Rules often include clear start/end times, disallowing cheating or game modification, and sometimes limitations on attempts per player or device.
However, without specific details or official rules from Nintendo or Nintendo Switch Online regarding Competition #5, this remains a general overview inferred from previous NWC and NES Edition events. For precise and current rules for this particular Competition #5, we recommend checking the official Nintendo website, the Nintendo Switch Online service notifications, or official Nintendo social media channels.
To participate, players need a Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately) and a Nintendo Account. Additional accessories may be required for multiplayer mode (sold separately). Internet access is necessary for online features. The game is not available in all countries.
The competition runs until 8/19 at 1:59 a.m. PT. Participants can check their overall placement and birth year ranking in last week's competition by playing the game. Last week's competition top runs for each challenge are also available to watch.
Lastly, remember that a Nintendo Switch Online membership auto-renews after the initial term unless canceled. Happy gaming, and may the best player win!
