Nintendo World Championships NES Edition review

System: Switch
Release date: July 18, 2024
Developer: Nintendo / indieszero
Publisher: Nintendo


Nintendo World Championships NES Edition was revealed by surprise a few months back, and now it’s finally available. In a way, this game is a kind of spiritual successor to the NES Remix games on Wii U and 3DS – they’re all made by the same developer, in fact. This time around, though, the game focuses on taking a more competitive approach to the genre. In doing so, it makes itself accessible to both casual and hardcore gamers, as well as introducing a bunch of classic NES games to a brand-new audience. Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition was made with a wide audience in mind, so there’s something here for everyone.

Nintendo World Championships NES Edition developer

Nintendo World Championships NES Edition isn’t out just yet, but the game’s developer has already been revealed.

indieszero worked with Nintendo on the project. Given the company’s history, that may not be overly surprising. indieszero previously handled the NES Remix games for Wii U as well as Ultimate NES Remix for 3DS – titles that are in some ways similar to Nintendo World Championships NES Edition.

Retro Game Challenge 1 + 2 Replay

Original (9/5): Bandai Namco is bringing Retro Game Challenge 1 + 2 Replay to Switch, the company revealed today. Details on launch timing were not provided.

Retro Game Challenge originally came to the DS in 2007, and XSEED later brought it to North America in 2009. The series also saw Retro Game Challenge 2 launch in 2009, but only in Japan. Retro Game Challenge 3 later released in 2014 for 3DS as another Japan-exclusive.

Here’s an interesting piece of information about Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training for Nintendo Switch. Nintendo itself is naturally involved with the project, but did you know that indieszero is as well? That news comes thanks to a classification listing in Australia.

One of indieszero’s most recent projects was Sushi Striker. Other titles the studio developed include NES Remix and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy.

Sushi Striker

Just prior to the launch of Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido, Japanese magazine Famitsu spoke with a couple of the game’s developers. Producer Hitoshi Yamagami and director Kaori Ando were both brought in for the discussion. Yamagami previously worked on the likes of Dr. Mario, Panel de Pon (referenced in the interview), and Fire Emblem while Ando has been involved with Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE (also brought up in the interview).

The talk was very interesting, as we’re able to learn how Nintendo came up with the concept for Sushi Striker and how the project turned out the way it did in the end. The original plan was for something quite different, and various genres were considered.
