Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Preorders - Where To Buy Deluxe Set

It's on my radar, it looks like a pretty cool collectable piece honestly. Of course, though, I don't buy many games just to collect them - I play them.

It doesn't make much sense why this game would get remastered. It may be fun to play against your friends to see who's the "World Champion", but aside from that, it's just a bunch of small segments from the larger flagship NES games. The reason this game is so valuable and sought after is because of its rarity, not the game itself. In the game collecting niche, it's all about rarity. Rarity is what sets the value more than the actual game quality.

Add Punch-Out, Contra, Legend of Kage, Rygar, Kung-Fu, Bionic Commando and Blaster Master and I'd really consider it... and RC ProAM, Blades of Steel, Solomon's Key, Metal Gear, TMNT and Ninja Gaiden 1-3

Reminds me of the AVGN episode where he's excited to get this ultra rare game only to find out that it's just a series of snippets from existing games. I can understand collectors wanting the original golden NES cartridge, but there really is no point in buying this re-release. It's not a rare collector's item and doesn't contain a single full game. Just a glorified collection of minigames.

"Unfortunately for North American players"

Just them?

Wow, just look at all those affiliate links, not only for buying the game but also for buying various gamepads! What an unprecedented level of journalistic integrity!

(And i think it is probably not right to blame the writer, maybe not even the editor team. It is probably a decision from some of the executives/bosses.)

Nintendo sure know how to price their old games, too.

If you have not had enough after NES Remix, NES Remix 2, various NES games to buy on Wii and Wii U and 3DS, NES games unlockable in Animal Crossing, NES games for Switch Online and the NES Mini classic stand alone console, hey, why not buy some more new (but OLD) NES Games?

And i have to admit, i am tempted because just look at all the beautifull collectible stuff.

Nintendo has so much oldnew stuff for us to buy during 2024 too!

--Mario vs Donkey Kong

-- Paper Mario 2

--Luigi s Mansion remaster game

-- And now, a collection of old NES games.

Wow, Nintendo. Look at you go, tapping into our nostalgia yet again to make another fast buck or two.
Or sixty.

But at least Princess Peach is a new game for people to play.

(Although the Mario vs Donkey Kong remake actually feels somewhat justified because it is such an improvement graphically. But otherwise..it is kind of a thin, lean, bad year for Nintendo so far. Every team at Nintendo keeps working away at games for Switch 2 perhaps. Or they might have some new Switch games to reveal soon, for the fall. And maybe a new Square Enix HD2D remake game for Switch like Live a Live. We could also perhaps expect Metroid Prime 2 and 3 remastered for Switch, leading up to a Metroid Prime 4 game for Switch 2. Metroid Prime 4 was announced almost seven years ago now. Seven. Yeah.)
