Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Competition #28

The next round of Nintendo World Championships challenges for January have been shared. The Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition receives weekly updates in the form of new challenges. These challenges will be available for the remainder of the week.

As shared on Nintendo’s news page, Switch Online members can now take part in competition #28. As always with the World Championships competitions, Speedrunners have a week to complete this set of challenges. They’ll be live until the 27th of January. The next competition will go live 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:

• Super Mario Bros.: Loose Change
• Metroid: Power Grab
• Super Mario Bros.: One on 1-1
• Kid Icarus: Eggplant Harm
• Ice Climber: Condor Conqueror
