Indieszero and Nintendo’s World Championships: NES Edition is now out and has received mixed reviews. The game is based on the Nintendo World Championships esports competitions and brings several games with it.
While the company almost always makes its fan base happy, one decision with this game has fans angry. In what could be the most shocking decision from the company in years, even the biggest fanboys are raging.
Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Doesn’t Have Leaderboards
Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition launched on July 18th and is inspired by the company’s classic games. The game has over 150 challenges on 13 titles and players need to complete tasks to come on top.
Players can play both in online knockout-based Survival Mode and offline in Party Mode and can also compete with their friends. While players love some of the challenges, the majority of them are said to be underwhelming.
However, what’s more shocking is that the game doesn’t have leaderboards. The leaderboards showing the scores when players compete a game is missing and it has disappointed and infuriated fans. Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb called this “the most infuriating decision Nintendo has made for a game in years.”
He said that he never knew it was possible but forgot that it was Nintendo and he does not get the point of the game without leaderboards. There is a leaderboard for world ranking and that is probably the only ine in the whole game. As per fans this is bad decision making from the company.
Nintendo Fans Are Furious Over This Decision
Players are shocked by Nintendo’s decision to not include the leaderboards in the game. Many fans all, all over the social media, have been asking this question and wondering.
In the replies to Grubb’s post, one fan couldn’t believe this and said, “This is how I’m finding out the game has no leaderboards. I thought the whole point of the game was to know who is the fastest to complete the levels…this sole option turns the game kinda pointless.” Another fan called this a usual fumble from the company.
One user replied, “Nintendo never ceases to amaze me.” Players can not believe how the company shipped the game without leaderboards and many are wondering what is the game offering without the leaderboards.
Players have said that they enjoy games from the company but it sometimes bring things half baked and they’re not having it. The game’s reviews aren’t very good and if the leaderboards aren’t patched, the game could soon be dead.
