Already in 1990, Nintendo Nintendo organized the World Cup. The challenge of the event is several games in the console. The classic competition was revived only twice, in 2015 and 2017, but the spirit of the contest is being brought back in a new minigame collection for the Nintendo Switch -- Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, which is coming out on July 7.
NWC is a collection of short sections of famous NES titles ranging from the original Super Mario Bros. From The Legend of Zelda to slightly less popular games like Balloon Fight and Kid Icarus. Some challenges will be very simple, such as racing to get a sword in The Legend of Zelda - a task that takes less than 10 seconds to complete. Others are more difficult, like timing yourself to complete all three stages of the original Donkey Kong in sequence.
During the preview, we tried out a few different game modes in the series. The first and most powerful is the single player library. Here you can find 13 games with an average of 13 challenges per game. the game. The first and easiest challenge in each game is unlocked, even if you have to beat other challenges.
For example, Super Mario Bros. To win, you need to collect the first mushroom boost as quickly as possible, a task that usually takes about 5 seconds. Balloon Fight's second beginner challenge requires players to blow up a balloon, another very quick task. Many of these challenges also come with unique instruction screens, which we're told are designed to look like they came from an old Nintendo power supply issue.
Upon completion, you will receive a letter grade, with S being the highest grade. The difference between these characteristics can be down to milliseconds. I was happy to see that you can quickly restart your run if something goes wrong by pressing the R and L buttons. I'm sure everyone will do this many, many times. One of the best parts about NWC is how it presents all this data to you. When accepting a challenge you've completed, you'll see a second screen next to it showing your best run. This way you can measure your progress while trying to shorten the improvement time. The better you do this, the higher your rating and the more rewards you will receive. These coins can then be used to purchase more challenges for each game. Challenges go all the way up to Master (the aforementioned Donkey Kong challenge was found in this category) and range in price from 10 to 300 coins, depending on difficulty. Another way we tried was survival. Here you will complete three challenges in a row and you can choose between Silver or Gold difficulty. Silver will pit you against two normal and one hard challenge, while gold will involve two hard and one normal. But it's not that simple: the survival part comes in when you're pitted against seven sets of ghost data (random player data either from your console or from online). You will see your screen with seven other players running simultaneously. It's reminiscent of the layout of Mario 35, with everyone on the screen at the same time trying to be the first to complete a classic Mario stage. In each round, the slowest half of the players are eliminated until a winner is chosen.
The last part of our preview is the party mode, where all journalists present can compete against each other in local multiplayer. This model allows you to challenge a number of challenges and then evaluate their performance. The fastest time gets complete points, and such people are smaller and smaller, just as Mario Kart scored in the cup.
Each of these challenges also feature a start screen showing off what the task is, and players can even practice before fully completing (just like in Mario Party). During our preview, we played through three rounds of Party mode and even though I did quite poorly in round two (I haven\'t played Excitebike in a long time, OK?), I ended up winning the whole tournament. As I said in the Astro Bot -PreView -I am very good at video games.
Nintendo World Cups: NES edition adopts some people thinking it's simple, basic video games. Several reporters at my meeting commented that they never played these games growing up. I was very familiar, but the game gave me a new perspective on them. Almost everyone ran 1-1 from Super Mario Bros, but at a time when many people visited 20 coins? NWC empties these classic works and shines with interesting and chaotic new lights. Nintendo World Championship: NES Edition will be released on July 7th and released $ 30 digital with a special physical version of $ 60.
