Yesterday, the conference was held to take stock of the Nintendo Switch during the last fiscal year and share estimates for the following fiscal year. During the latter, we learned in particular that the firm is careful to sell 13.5 million machines during the fiscal year which began on April 1. In order to achieve its objectives, Nintendo is focusing above all on its exclusive software which will continue to support the hybrid platform for several more months. It is therefore not without a touch of irony that the manufacturer presents one of its cartridges for this summer through a trailer on Youtubeonce again, far from what we could expect from it, since it is the return of many NES games in Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition who arrives on the Nintendo Switch next July 18.
In its presentation trailer, Nintendo takes care to put some images of the different editions of these world championships Nintendohaving been held in 1990, 2015 and 2017. These competitions, unlike any other, required small challenges to be carried out on popular titles from Nintendo, including some games not really intended for this purpose. The trailer finally shows what the firm will offer in the version Nintendo Switch of his Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition. We see several challenges on the biggest hits of the NESlike catching the first mushroom as quickly as possible in Super Mario Bros.get rid of a very quickly Octorock In The Legend of Zelda or even reach a door as quickly as possible in Metroid.
