The NES throwback offers fun in short bursts at a budget price.
In 1990, the first Nintendo World Championships were held, allowing players around the United States to compete for glory in various classic games released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. More than 30 years later, that concept has been revisited through Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition. The new Nintendo Switch game keeps the spirit of competition alive in a budget priced package that tasks players with completing various challenges as quickly as possible.
After completing each challenge, the player is assigned a grade based on how quickly they pull it off, and awarded a number of coins decided by that performance. Those coins can then be used to unlock other eligible challenges as well as new avatar options. It's a very simple concept, but it works well, and players are awarded coins just for trying to break the records they established.
At this point, the graphics in many of these old NES games haven't aged quite as gracefully as those from the SNES era, but the presentation in Nintendo World Championships is still pretty impressive. The music is great, and the menus are sleek. There are also some nice touches, like cheering crowds during the game's online modes.
