How much does Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition cost?
Nintendo Switch owners can choose between the Digital Version ($29.99) or the Deluxe Set ($59.99). The Deluxe Set is expensive because it includes a physical copy of the game, a golden replica of the NES cartridge, one art card for each of the 13 NES games included in the collection, and five pins.
Both versions are already up for pre-order at Nintendo's official store. The game will be Nintendo's third big release for Switch in a row as Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is coming out on May 23 and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD will release on June 27.
