The 1989 movie 'The Wizard' had a significant impact on many kids, including the author, by showcasing the Nintendo World Championships and introducing the then-unreleased Super Mario Bros. 3. This led to a strong desire for the game and a memorable moment when the author's mom surprised him with it. Nintendo has now brought back the nostalgia of the championships with a new twist, creating the 'Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition' for the Nintendo Switch. The game features 13 classic NES games, including challenges that range from under two seconds to a minute, providing a fun competitive experience. The author enjoyed playing familiar games like Zelda and Donkey Kong, with the difficulty increasing as you progress. Despite some minor complaints about button controls and occasional slowdowns, the overall experience was engaging and enjoyable, especially in the Party Mode. The game is priced at $30 and has the potential for future editions if successful.
