With this title we can relive the 1990 world championships with 150 challenges from classic Nintendo NES games
Although the evolution in the world of video games has been incredible, the reality is that These have not been with us as long as it might seem.. We are sure that many of you who are reading us, and if not your parents, have lived the birth of gaming from its most rudimentary beginnings.
One of the facts that began to show that those interested in video games were not just a few was the first Nintendo World Championship in 1990which gave rise to a series of tournaments that were named Nintendo World Championships. It is precisely this competition that has inspired Nintendo World Championships: NES Editionthe brand's new ad that brings back up to 150 challenges from 13 original Nintendo NES games.
Recently We have been able to try some of these challenges in the different modes that the game includes (challenge, world championship and survival), both alone and with more people locally, and We bring you our feelings. What we can tell you is that it is proposed as the perfect game for game lovers Speedrun and for those who like challenge themselves trying to get the best scores possible.
Pass the tests of these games in the shortest time possible
The objective of Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, although it is different depending on each specific challenge, can be summarized as follows: We must try to achieve an objective that is set before us in the shortest possible time.. Depending on how long it takes us to complete each test, which may be from 4 seconds to a few minutes duration, we will achieve a range ranging from C to S, with S being the highest rating.
In the main mode, called Speedrunas we overcome the challenges We can unlock more with some points that we will getThat is, if we want to access the most difficult challenges we must first achieve great scores in the simple ones.
Before starting each test we will have a very specific description of what we will have to do and a demo in which we can try before starting the challenge as such. Once we have completed our first attempt this It will be recorded as a reference and will always be replaced by our best time.. This way we can see repeated How we have managed to take less time than other attempts.
Before starting each challenge we will find a description and a demo
As for the challenges themselves, they can range from something as simple as hitting a block and picking up a mushroom with Mario to completing some levels from other video games. The titles of which we will find these tests are the following:
- Super Mario Bros.
- The Legend of Zelda.
- Metroid.
- donkey kong.
- Kid Icarius.
- Super Mario Bros. 2.
- Excitebike.
- Ice Climber.
- Balloon Fight.
- Super Mario Bros. 3.
- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
- Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.
- Kirby's Adventure.
In this game mode we were only able to try the first challenges of each game because the rest were blocked, but this was enough to contrast the variety offeredwith a lot of different mechanics and the original controls for each title. On the list there were video games that I had played and others that I had not, and I can assure you that the challenge of getting the shortest time possible is equally enjoyed.
Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition features up to 150 challenges from 13 original Nintendo NES games
Finally, I want to emphasize that when I talk about low difficulty challenges I mean that They are easy to complete, not to get the maximum rank. The shorter the challenges, the less margin for failure we have, and that It also adds fun to the game. Also note that the legend difficulty tests, the highest, come accompanied with an explanation of how to complete that level. You may think that this makes it very easy to complete it, but I assure you that nothing could be further from the truth.
With the world championship and survival modes we will have weekly content
The rivals in the championships will be ghosts with the play of other users
In a way, Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is an infinite game. You will always have the option of trying to improve your own times, no matter how good they are. However, Speedrun mode may be missing a “online point” provided by the world championship and survival modes.
In the first of them, they will choose five challenges every week (of those already included) so that All users try to get the best times possible. These will be displayed in a world ranking in which we can advance depending on our ability with the challenges. Besides, This mode also serves as a reference for when we play against our own brand.knowing the best time of the number one player can serve as motivation to continue improving.
In the survival championship mode there will be different divisions
In both types of championship The challenges are not played against rivals in real time As such, all we see will be the ghosts of the playerssomething that is very useful for the connection does not affect in a game in which even the last thousandth can be decisive.
Speaking of the survival championship, this will also be made up of challenges that change weekly, although in this case there will only be 3. There is different divisions and the big difference is that here you can be left out at the first opportunity if you are not among the best times. Obviously in the higher divisions you will encounter more demanding rivals, so winning championships in those ranks will be a real achievement.
We can also play locally with a total of up to 8 people.
Finally, it should be noted that we also have some “Party Mode” tournaments that can be played locallyso you can get together up to a total of 8 friends to see who is the king of these Nintendo NES games.
