Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition for Switch feels like a loving tribute to a pivotal moment in gaming. It’s also raw, unfiltered nostalgia for those of us who grew up in the ’90s and remember reading about (or, if you were lucky, participating in) Nintendo’s touring league. Though there is a digital version for those who just want the new game – which is more than 150 “challenging moments” for speedrun enthusiasts in 13 NES titles such as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of ZeldaAnd Metroid — The real surprise, however, may be the physical Deluxe Edition, which includes commemorative pins, art cards, and, best of all, a gold replica NES cartridge (sadly not playable) for display.
