For those of you who missed it, Nintendo shared the Nintendo World Championships challenges for the final week of January. As we’ve covered in the past, the Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition receives weekly updates in the form of new challenges. These challenges are available for the remainder of the week.

As shown on Nintendo’s news page, those with an active Switch Online subscription can now participate in competition #29. As always with the World Championships competitions, Speedrunners have a week to complete this set of challenges. They’ll be live until the 3rd of February, and then the next set of challenges will be shared. 

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:

  • Metroid: Quickdraw
  • The Legend of Zelda: Fire in the Hole
  • Super Mario Bros. 3: Curtain Call: Iggy
  • Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: Magic Jar Excavation
  • Super Mario Bros. 2: Evasion is Key

For those of you who undertook last week’s challenges – Competition #28, remember to check out the leaderboard. You can watch the top runs from last week’s submissions and maybe shave a few seconds off of your times.

Last 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

The Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition costs $30 on the eShop and with weekly updates, it is well worth your consideration. The recently announced Switch 2 has the gaming space abuzz, and Nintendo is inviting select fans to preview events. To find out more click here.
