Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Competition #25

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.

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