Nintendo’s release schedule for the remainder of 2024 is a major unknown; other than remakes of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (May 23) and Luigi’s Mansion 2 (June 27), there are no first-party titles announced by Nintendo for release this year. A new ESRB rating might hint at an upcoming reveal, as a listing for Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition has appeared on the ratings board’s website.
The ESRB listing calls Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition a “collection of 2D challenges and platformer games in which players traverse through various modes (e.g., speedrun, survival).” These modes will incorporate various challenges including reaching certain areas or battling groups of enemies, among others, according to the ESRB description.
Nintendo World Championships 1990
Some speculated that the tease could have been an imminent return for the in-person event after known Nintendo leaker Pyoro posted an image of the Nintendo World Championships 1990 NES cartridge on Twitter. Per VGC, the ESRB description instead implies that a new game is coming rather than a port of the old cartridge.
