New year, new challenges! Here is the first set of challenges for The Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition. These challenges are available for this week. Competition #25 is live. 

As shared on Nintendo’s news page, Nintendo Switch Online members can take part in competition #25. As always with a World Championships competition, this competition will only be live for a week until the 6th of January. The next competition will be shared thereafter. 

Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is a game that offers 150 challenges from 13 classic NES games. All of these challenges are speedrunning-based challenges that see you compete against players from around the world. But if you’d prefer to keep things local you can also compete with other players at home. 

This Week’s Five Challenges:

  • Kirby’s Adventure: Taking Flight
  • Super Mario Bros. 3: Half-Pipe
  • Kid Icarus: Water Divination
  • Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: Cliff Jumping
  • Metroid: Kraid Raid

If you happened to take part in last week’s challenge – Competition #24, then don’t forget to check out the leaderboard. You’re able to watch the top runs from last week’s submissions. In case you are curious here are last week’s challenges. 

Last Week’s Five Challenges:

  • Super Mario Bros.: Block Party
  • The Legend of Zelda: Octorok Onslaught
  • Super Mario Bros. 3: Curtain Call
  • Ice Climber: Peak Performance
  • Super Mario Bros.: Mario Master

If this competition gets the competitive juices flowing and you’d like to take part then The Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition can be purchased for $30 on the eShop. If you’re not too keen on challenges but would like to visit your old retro titles then check out this piece on the new Gameboy Advance-style handheld emulator.
