So, if you don’t already have this new release, Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is packed with retro goodness. Unfortunately, the game isn’t all that popular, leaderboard-wise. Reviewer PJ O’Reilly spoke about this in an updated version of the review. Nintendo Life Review:
“Since the start of the live stream, it has become clear that the leaderboard here does not work in-game the way we imagined it would, which has caused quite a stir among players. The leaderboard is not freely accessible at any time, and you cannot see your friends or compete directly with their results. Furthermore, you can only access the rankings at the end of the weekly challenge, so you have no freedom in how you compete. This is a silly decision and one we did not expect. We hope it will be resolved as soon as possible.“
