Nintendo has gotten a decisive victory for the Nintendo Switch which has been the center of multiple lawsuits over the years due to Joy-Con drift. However, a pair of these lawsuits have been filed for dismissal at the concession of those who filed them. The result of this could affect the upcoming Switch 2 console.
Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition for Switch has been rated by the ESRB

A new game based on the Nintendo World Championships appears to have been rated by the ESRB.
Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition has received an E rating on the site.
According to its description: “This is a collection of 2D challenges and platformer games in which players traverse through various modes (e.g. speedrun, survival).
“Several challenges involve reaching specific points, while others prompt players to defeat small enemies or survive brief battles.
“Some games depict pixelated characters using small swords or arrows to strike at enemies – enemies typically get stunned or disappear in a flash.”
The Nintendo World Championships took place in the US in 1990 and had players competing on a bespoke cartridge containing challenges for Super Mario Bros, Rad Racer and Tetris. The player with the highest cumulative score across all three games would win.
The ESRB’s description makes this new game sound different from the actual Nintendo World Championships cartridge, which was given to finalists and is one of the rarest Nintendo cartridges around, worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Instead, it sounds more like NES Remix, which featured a compilation of small challenges across a range of NES games and was released on the Wii U and 3DS.
X user Pyoro_X, who is known for regularly posting accurate leaks of upcoming Nintendo products, posted a photo of the Nintendo World Championships cartridge on Thursday.
This caused many to belive the cartridge was set to be added to the NES library on Nintendo Switch Online, but it now appears to have been related to this entirely new title.
The NES Edition in the title also appears to imply that should the new game be successful, further editions covering other Nintendo consoles will be released.
