Summary
According to recent leaks, the Nintendo Switch could soon be receiving a revamped version ofNintendo World Championships. Created specifically for the titular Nintendo World Championships esports competition, theNintendo World Championships 1990NES cartridge is one of the rarest video games of all time, with only a little over 100 confirmed to be in existence. As one might imagine, this has madeNintendo World Championshipshighly sought-after by collectors.
Copies ofNintendo World Championships 1990have gone for thousands of dollars, through auctions and private sellers. The cartridges being so incredibly rare means that the vast majority of Nintendo fans have never playedNintendo World Championships 1990, which featured customized, curated sections ofRad Racer,Super Mario Bros., andTetris. Now it seems a new version of the game could be coming to the Nintendo Switch.
As spotted by Twitter user Stealth40k, a game calledNintendo World Championships: NES Editionhas been rated by the ESRB. The ESRB rating outs the game as a “collection of 2D challenges and platformer games” and mentions that it also features “pixelated characters using small swords or arrows to strike at enemies.” This suggests that the version ofNintendo World Championshipscoming to the Nintendo Switch will be quite different from the original NES cartridge. Until Nintendo reveals the game itself, though, we can’t be 100% sure whatNintendo World Championships: NES Editionis bringing to the table compared to theoriginal NES cartridge.

Ultimately, the ESRB gave the game an E for Everyone rating, noting that it has “Mild Fantasy Violence” and “In-Game Purchases.” Thepossible existence of microtransactionsin this new version ofNintendo World Championshipspoints to the game having some online elements, though that remains to be seen. Perhaps the “game” will be free and players will have to purchase the games-within-the-game separately, but that’s just speculation at this time. Again, fans will have to wait for Nintendo to make the official announcement before they truly know what to expect fromNintendo World Championships: NES Edition.
