Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition for Switch looks to be a loving tribute to a pivotal moment in gaming. It’s also raw, unfiltered nostalgia for those of us who grew up in the 1990s and remember reading about (or, if you were lucky, attending) Nintendo’s touring competition. While there’s a digital version for those that just want the new game — which boasts over 150 “challenging moments” for speedrun enthusiasts across 13 NES titles like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid — the real treat might be the physical Deluxe Edition, which includes commemorative pins, art cards, and best of all, a gold replica NES cartridge (alas, not playable) to display.
It’s rare to find a discount on Nintendo first-party titles, especially ahead of launch. If you’re a first-time QVC customer, however, you can save $30 on your first order of $60 or more using the code HELLO30 at checkout. In practice, that means you can pre-order Nintendo World Championship: NES Edition — Deluxe Set ($59.99) and any one other item to activate the discount. QVC is offering a number of great Nintendo Switch games right now including Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Pikmin 4, and Super Mario Wonder — or if you’re just looking for some accessories to complement your purchase, may we recommend the Hori screen protector or some Super Mario 3-themed crew socks to wear while going through Mario 3-related challenges.
Both the digital and Deluxe Set physical releases of Nintendo World Championship: NES Edition are set for release on July 18.
