June has always been one of the busiest months when it comes to video games, not only because of the arrival of summer in the northern hemisphere and the large number of releases during this time, taking advantage of vacations to maximize profits, but also because it used to be the month primarily chosen to hold E3. Now, without it, several events are held around this period with the same intention of presenting the future of gaming. Both the Summer Game Fest and the following Devolver Direct took place in recent weeks. PlayStation held its own showcase, and Xbox followed suit. To close the month of the No-E3, Nintendo took the stage with its latest Nintendo Direct. As is customary with the Big N’s presentations, the event was packed with Japanese role-playing games indistinguishable from one another, some announcements related to their main franchises, remasters and re-releases of classic works, and a few big surprises. Below is a summary of the event’s highlights, so you don’t have to sit through a thousand turn-based RPGs to find out what\u2019s really worth it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Nintendo always seems to be looking to the future, thinking about how to innovate, but it also lives tethered to the past, reviving\/re-releasing decades-old games\u2014in this case, doing both at the same time. The idea behind Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is fascinating; it\u2019s a reimagining of the 1990s Nintendo World Championship but online and packed with content. First, the number of available games increases to 13 instead of just three, with Rad Racer and Tetris removed from the roster. It also includes over 150 speedrun challenges, local multiplayer for up to 8 players, online competition against top times from players worldwide, time-limited challenges, tournaments, unlockables, and much more. This is a very comprehensive option with tons of replayability, perfect not only for retro game enthusiasts but also as a fantastic first experience for new players. The game will be released on June 18 and is now available for pre-order at a price of \u20ac30 for the digital version and \u20ac60 for the physical version.<\/p>
