Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is coming to Switch, according to a leak from the ESRB.
The classification board just added in a listing for the collection. As noted in the rating description, it includes 2D challenges and platformers with different modes such as speedrun and survival.
The full description is as follows:
This is a collection of 2D challenges and platformer games in which players traverse through various modes (e.g., speedrun, survival). Several challenges involve reaching specific points, while others prompt players to defeat small enemies or survive brief battles. Some games depict pixelated characters using small swords or arrows to strike at enemies; enemies typically get stunned or disappear in a flash.
The Nintendo World Championships started in 1990, and during the finals, players competed in mini-games based on Super Mario Bros. Rad Racer, and Tetris. 25 years later, the event returned in 2015 and came back in 2017.
There was talk about something happening with the Nintendo World Championships after Pyoro, a well-known leaker with an accurate track record, posted something about it on social media yesterday. He has since clarified that it is not a free game.
