Now Playing: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition — Announcement Trailer

The trailer also highlighted many of the competitors from Nintendo World Championships live events from the past. Some of the featured contestants include two world champions in Thomas G., who claimed victory in the 2017 competition, and Jeff Hansen, who was the first-ever Nintendo World Champion after winning the 1990 event.

The 13 games included in Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition are as follows:

Balloon FightDonkey KongExcitebikeIce ClimberKid IcarusKirby’s AdventureMetroidSuper Mario Bros.Super Mario Bros. 2Super Mario Bros. 3Super Mario Bros. The Lost LevelsThe Legend of ZeldaZelda II: The Adventure of Link

The announcement comes after Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa posted on Nintendo’s social media accounts that the Nintendo Switch’s successor will be revealed within the next fiscal year–which means we will see the latest Nintendo console by April 2025. When asked later about the upcoming console, Furukawa said “Switch next model is the appropriate way to describe it.”

Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition launches on July 18 exclusively for Nintendo Switch, and it can be purchased digitally for $30, or in a special physical Deluxe Edition–which includes stickers, art, and a replica of the golden 1990 Nintendo World Championships cartridge–for $60. An authentic version of the golden cartridge is one of the rarest Nintendo games in the world, as it fetched $84,000 in a recent Heritage Auctions sale.
