Nintendo World Championships 1990 (NES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@ruination777]

So basically it was a race to see who could get to the Tetris part the fastest.

[@snorgonofborkkad]

That first death I was like “bro, really?” Then I watched more and I was like “broooooooo”.

[@NintendoComplete]

It's not quite The Wizard on a cartridge, but it's close enough to make it a fun timesink for old-school NES fans. Just so long as you don't ever expect to own an official copy, that is.

[@NintendoComplete]

@matt Yeah, depending on the version and its condition, the prices can really get up there.

[@larrylaffer3246]

If you do get a copy just make sure you don't get it smashed by the AVGN. He was pissed that a game this rare was only a marathon of 3 pretty easy to get ahold of NES titles. I mean he was so angry he smashed a Gold one and those are even rarer.

[@Dorian_Scott]

@@larrylaffer3246 That was when I stopped watching his videos. Before that AVGN episode, he was still the... well... Angry Nerd that we know and love. Now, his style has changed. He doesn't really go apesh** anymore. His episodes nowadays are fine, just not nearly as memorable.

[@larrylaffer3246]

@@Dorian_Scott It depends on the game. Plus he was working on the movie at the time. The production value has gotten better. However now that's James is a married man with children he does have other things to worry about.

[@kevinrhea7332]

Crash test Dummies was a good episode imo

[@LPetal86]

Nintendo should release a compilation like this on the Switch Online service and have the entire Nintendo Switch userbase challenge it and see who comes out on top. Would be a great fun thing to try during this pandemic, in my opinion of course.

[@NickMario1]

That would be awesome

[@knuclear200x]

I remember seeing these play at a mall event decades ago. Nintendo mania was such a thing back then

[@Peter_Morris]

My buddy and did this exactly once. We were terrible! Still it was a fun event to go to. I remember seeing The Noid video game showcased there and a few other games that were either new or launching soon.

[@Dorian_Scott]

*JESUS CHRIST, NC!* Have you played Tetris since it came out, because *_that_* was a nice run?!

[@NintendoComplete]

Hahaha thanks. Yeah, pretty much.

[@9b8ll]

I remember seeing this once way back in the day. Never got the opportunity to play this version. Good vid. 💪

[@yusakug]

You know, NintendoComplete, I think I can blame you as being a bad influence. I recently watched your playthrough of The Flintstones: The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak, and I went on eBay and found myself paying an obscene amount for a beautiful, rare, and authentic CIB copy, which now sits proudly in my collection. Now I watch this, and I had to resist the urge to look on eBay to see what prices the cart is going for out of curiosity. Having bought a CIB Dinosaur Peak and a loose Panic Restaurant this past month, I think that's enough eBay for now.

[@NintendoComplete]

Hahaha I'm sorry for your wallet. Those are good investments, at least! (I loved both Flintstones 2 and PR) I don't blame you for avoiding eBay for now though. I've found myself doing the same at times after spending too much on old games (like when I bought a complete mint Miracle Piano system or Bubble Bobble 2)

[@tedlogan5628]

Yeah....Could've won the whole thing back then but Nintendo wouldn't let me use my Power Glove to dominate the competition. Said I would've been to OP and no one else would've stood a chance. Well, except some some scrawny kid holding a lunch box that was obsessed with California...

Is it higher that Stadium Events now? O_o

[@nesking3115]

@@NintendoComplete NWC (Grey and Gold)have always been more expensive than SE “loose “”now SE CIB that would depend on a number of factors..

[@MinbadTheFourth]

Damn, I'd love to play it. I have to resort back to emulation! Good vid as always, man

[@DarkPuIse]

Pretty decent score overall! I know that the ultimate winner, Thor Aackerlund, wound up with a score of over 4 million during his round, and ultimately won it all with a score of 2.8 million (beating second place only by about 100,000 points). Maybe you would've made it into the finals.

[@ekahnoman7331]

So, is that a champion worthy score at the end?

[@thecunninlynguist]

Wish I was able to try it in real time back then...but I don't think I even knew about it until years later. Didn't sub to Nintendo Power till like 93

[@metalfreak9666]

Some rare gamers have the gold cartridge.. lucky guys who won it or bought and put it just display or in there shelf. Plus if anyone or mostly on Ebay.. The gold cart cost 1million dollars like HOLY S... yeah so rare and sealed.

[@varietygamer95]

That’s the definition of Crack is Cheaper right there! Right up along with the VHS of Cars, the last Disney movie released on VHS

[@Dorian_Scott]

@@varietygamer95 Cars was the weakest of that era of Pixar films. The first movie was the only good movie.

[@varietygamer95]

Nostalgia pura,que hermosos tiempos 😢

[@lunitaproductions8290]

This game is rare bcuz it wasn't a commercial game, so don't feel bad for not owning it But then i realized that one copy of that even the gray one costs 5 times my collection 😔

[@thebatman9683]

Very fascinating! 🖤🦇

[@jamesmoss3424]

It was a big tournament 30 years ago. 😀👍🎮

[@rcblazer]

I'm probably wrong about this, but isn't that the unlicensed Tengen version of Tetris? Actually, now that I check on it, I must be thinking of the Gameboy version of Tetris compared to the NES game.

[@Dorian_Scott]

No, that's the Nintendo version. The Tengen one is better, IMO.

[@DerivativeWorker]

4 dipswitches? Like sticking right out of the cartridge?

[@neopia9]

Yep, there was a hole cut in the top of it near the grip.

[@ruination777]

There was a hole in the top left of the cart where the switches were, but yeah, they were exposed so anyone could have easy access without opening the game up.

[@NEOGENUNIT]

Thank god I was born in 1999.

[@Morpheus776]

3 awesome games

[@NintendoComplete]

@matt I liked it quite a bit. It was one of those shallow but fun games. And it's pretty much Outrun, which is a good thing imo :)

[@Dorian_Scott]

@@NintendoComplete What impresses me most about *_Rad Racer_* , was that it was a _Square_ title before *_Final Fantasy_* . And, it was the only *good* game before FF. (Believe me, the less I talk about *_King's Knight_* , the better.)

Is A Rare Nes Gane Ever Made

[@themanwiththebabyhands4650]

3 very easy to find games in one stupidly expensive cartridge

[@nesking3115]

It’s not about the games contained in the cart that makes it sought after or expensive,it’s what the NWC represents..

[@sporedoutofmymind]

With the way the scores are weighted this is basically just a Tetris competition.

[@starskunk]

Pretty much - the point was basically trying to get to Tetris as fast as possible to get the big points.

[@Urvy1A]

That seems that they used to tally up the scores in, that was from the Japanese Super Mario 2 game.

[@RyneMcKinney]

NES Tetris is sorely missing from the switch game

[@indrachaudhari7874]

I hope that this is the game ROM from the rare Golden Game Cartridge. hehehe

[@nesking3115]

Does it matter if it is the Gold or Grey cart ?Lol ,it does not..Since the PCB on both versions of the NWC are identical..

[@gorilli09]

This is a mixture of a multicart and a ROM hack.

*_Nintendo World Championship 1990_* on NES. One of the rarest NES games out there (Especially that gold cartridge!). Never heard of this one, until the AVGN episode with Pat the NES Punk. I would have loved this as a kid back in 90'. It would've been a great moment from that year to me, next to: • *Importing "Super Mario World" on Super Famicom* • *Playing said game in Japan with a friend from there, while binging lots of "Chibi Maruko-chan"* (😊 It truly was the "best of two worlds". Super Mario, and a great "slice of life" anime that's still airing in Japan to this day since its second run in 1995!) • *Getting the original "MOTHER" on Famicom* (🤨 The weakest, and hardest entry in that series) • *Super Mario Bros 3 releasing in North America* (😄 *_"FINALLY! Now my friends can REALLY experience this awesome game!"_* ) Well, that's enough of my nostalgic elaboration. On with the meat and potatoes! POSITIVES • *Nice Trio of Games to Compete In* (SMB1, Rad Racer, *_AND_* Tetris!? It's every Nintendo fanboy's wet dream!) • *It's Fun* (Even though it's incredibly short, it is a decent way to play these with a friend. *_"The one with the higher score gets ALL the glory!"_* as for the loser, *_"... You get NOTHING! You lose! GOOD DAY, SIR!"_* ) NEGATIVES (More like a single nitpick) • *5 Minutes Long* (It's really over before you know it. Kind of a let down, if you ask me.) Final Rating: 10/10 With a solid trio of games to compete in for some quick fun, it's a novel way to play with a buddy... just really practice your Tetris skills, or you'll be *MAULED* before you even know it.

The weighting is terrible. Tetris is close to 100% of the final score. Sucks if you're the kid that was great at both Mario and Rad Racer but not so great at Tetris.
