Exactly what do other outlets think of this upcoming release? Starting with VGC
“It remains to be seen if the World Cup will have enough content to keep players entertained for a long time, or if it will actually spawn a significant online community, but after our play session, it’s absolutely something we’re looking forward to getting our hands on.”
GodisaGeek also thinks it could be a party hit this summer:
“This is a game that will really come into its own in a multiplayer environment, with an excellent multi-screen mode where you have to be good enough to make the ‘cut’ while the participants are reduced… Dropping for the budget price, this is likely to become the unexpected party hit of the summer and a perfectly timed dose of ultimate Nintendo nostalgia.”
VG247 felt the same way – labeling it a possible multiplayer classic:
“In short, it gets the blood flowing. And at £25, it seems like a decent replacement for Mario Party for someone who buys those games at full price and then only plays them a few times a year.”
CNET said to breathe new life into Nintendo classics:
“Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition takes what some would consider simple, basic video games of yesteryear and breathes some exciting new life into them.”
AND Nintendo he called it “an addictive electric experience”:
“Hupe is real for NWC. We left the demo with a lot of optimism for this one and can’t wait to release the final version in a few weeks.”
