Thanks for the overview. This is the right way to release a game! $60 for collector's edition and $30 for digital download. I always thought that digital games should be at least $10-20 cheaper than the physical releases at launch.
I still remember being 5-6yrs old, staying at my aunt's and my cousin and I went across the street to this kids house who had older parents and 2 older brothers who were teenagers at the time. Long story short I remember 3 NES games that glued to my brain forever. 2 golden carts (zelda 1 & 2) and a gray cart with the PCB exposed with colorerful switches on it. Yep, he had it. Never knew it only 20+ yrs later when the world championship craze started on youtube. Never thought Nintendo would fill a revival was needed, let alone remaking the NES championship twice now. Would love to see them create one for every gen.
Got mine, and dont plan on opening it. Love the look of the innards. The box alone is beautiful. Really appreciate/respect the quality. Wish Nintendo would do more like this
The person who opened the shipping box pushed the knife too deep to cut the tape. That’s the mark you see on the box. Worked in a warehouse for the summer I’ve been there.
I live in Japan, so I got the Japanese. We got 2 Famicom controllers that can be used as either joycons or independantly on their own. The cards are different, too. Definitely glad I got the Deluxe Edition, though.
Nintendo are not selling the special edition in shops or on other online retailers here in the UK. I had to pre order mine from Nintendo UK's website after receiving an invite. As usual it sold out pretty quickly.
this is really cool, i was considering getting it myself for the NES cart, but its just a replica so can you put a repro-copy of the real champion ship cartridge in the new one? that way you can get real use out of it Edit: maybe make a short video or short on this debunking it?
You would have to modify the new cartridge. It doesn't have any slots to put the cartridge onto, nor it has any holes to stick out the motherboard's pins.
It does have a slot for the pins to stick out--that's the slot where it slides into the acrylic display stand. But you may be right about it not actually holding the board without modification.
@@dirty-moto No, the pins for the board wouldn’t be able to come out without cutting the cartridge case. It has a bit of a slot on the bottom, but no cutout that goes inside the cartridge, if that makes sense. You can get a quick glimpse at 3:32. But I own it, so I can also confirm, there’s nowhere for pins to come out without modding the shell.
Got lucky beyond luck with this. Tried and tried and couldn’t pre order it so I had accepted that I wouldn’t be getting this really cool set I wanted. Today, went into a Not EB Games(will always be EB to me. No need to more associate it with the dumpster fire that is Game Stop) and asked if they had a copy. Turns out, someone had pre ordered, but for whatever reason returned the mint unopened box. So to my surprise, they sold me that. So, go in expecting just the physical cart, come out with the collectors edition!
What's wrong with Gamestop? Not having games? That's because of the internet and ordering things online. Gamestop/EB Games wouldn't even exist anymore if it wasn't for the short sellers and reddit buying up all the Gamestop shares.
Been playing this here and there through out the day with my kids. You know you’re millennial when your thumb knuckles and joints ache from a modest 2 1/2 hours of focused playtime. Fun little collection 😀
I tried to get mine early yesterday at best buy because I left for flordia today. Can't wait to get home and check it out. Hopefully my mother will go pick it up lol thanks for opening yours so I don't have to open mine lol would of been so cool if somehow they made that NES cartridge hold the switch game and then be able to be played in a NES.
The pins look insane. We should really normalize including pins in collections, or at least have pins in collections more often. I've seen Limited Run Games almost always have pins with their games
That would be dope if Nintendo also has 10 copies of the Gold Cart with 5 screws floating around somewhere around the world for 10 lucky gamers to randomly receive.
preordered from target, just waiting for it to get here! from what I've seen all the extras look super cool can't wait to set that replica cart up on my shelf! might use one of the pins or just leave them in the display thing. really cool looking set definitely some sweet extras.
Target never do 0 day releases. They be shipping it out on the launch day instead which is why I got it at BB instead. It's worth it even tho I can't use my redcard for that extra discount. 😊
@@volcalstone I'd just happened to have extra credit from the gift card I got from the mrs. so figured since they had it I'd preorder it there... hopefully it'll be here by tomorrow but I don't trust fedex (long story)
lmao why though? It's not going to be worth anything years down the line. Your unopened copy will be worth the same as your opned copy. I doubt they will even be playable in years time after Nintendo shuts down the Switch.
SHUT UP! The delivery man TURNED AROUND BECAUSE I WASN'T HOME!! Whatever happened to leaving boxes BY MY DOORSTEP? I WON'T BE UNBOXING MY DELUXE EDITION TODAY, FML, FML, F-M-L!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you didn't specify that no signature required. I work for a courier & freight company myself and I won't leave your residential package unless it's noted on the bill of lading. Unless you are one of my regulars in a small town who is fine with me leaving it somewhere it will be coming back to town with me until I can reach you.
@@OGTH-camEnjoyer God bless you and thank you for your service. 🙏🏻 I can respect that, buy was very much anticipating some glorious unboxing the other day. Picked it up from the post office today.
Yeah the ratings on the box are a shame but atleast theres no ratings on the cartridge itself, the us versions logo has to be shrunk to accommodate, so both versions have thier flaws i suppose
at :50 this is why I don't order games online, and have to physically see and inspect it in store before I buy it...the folks opening the larger box that the games come in sometimes dig the box cutter too deep and cut the game boxes.
Seems like this physical copy will NOT be available in european retail stores (physical and online). That's so sad. So not wide spread in europe... Nintendo UK seems to sell it in some way, but I don't know the details so good...
Are you keeping the game sealed hence why you didn't unbox it in this video? I presume you have it digitally and that case will stay sealed for the collection?
mine was shipped yesterday should get it tomorrow, I got mine but outer box is scuffed to fuck like a dog got at it contacted Nintendo and they email me it seems quality control is lacking in Nintendo something i thought they nail.
I don't think anyone will see this, but something has been bugging me. I remember a game that never came out, but I can't find any information about it. If you point me in the right direction, that would be great. The game was like the TV show Dexter and had you hunting down serial killers Manhunt-style. It was going to be first-person, I think, and involved planning like in the Rainbow Six games.
I cancelled my pre-order. I just didn't need the extra stuff. I'll have to go to Play Asia to get a physical copy but its about the same as the digital copy online. I wish Nintendo would have given everyone a physical w/o the extras. I did preorder the Tomb Raider Remastered Trilogy because it comes with a map book and other more useful things
@@I_SuperHiro_I haha I thought it was gonna be me first. 😂 I hope it was worth it. I will be opening mine soon tho. Gonna do that smell test like Flossy. 😂

The problem you have is stores then suffer when trying to sell Physical copies when its priced higher.
Physical should be $30 for a standard release.
In certain countries the price has to be the same for digital and physical
@@yeahhbuddy3932 Trust me. When they ditch physical and retail stores. Those prices aren't coming down.
The money they save will be pocketed.
the physical is more cause you’re actually getting tangible items lol
I know it would be asking too much, but having an official reproduction NES board inside of that trophy cartridge would have been amazing.

Yup, sad, my FF VII Rebirth CE also got the same cut including the steelbook
I MISS this, when you get a whole bundle. Like a bonus reward for buying the physical. Those art cards, I want!
For $60 that looks really nice! Love the old school gold NES cart!
i got mine today, really like the quality Nintendo put into this.
ima be honest im impressed, usually they try to sell these for so much more, this is a nice shelf item
Should have mine tomorrow. I pre ordered it.
same, sad its not here today tho
Yeah I preordered on BB. Got notification of delay. It looks like they won't have it till the 24th now...🤔
I'm thinking of getting the physical version too but I have to get some xbla exclusives before the store closes. 😢
@@kenterminateddq5311 oh yea that’s valid. Maybe the physical alone won’t be too badly priced on eBay
@@eliv.1033same here.
The fire emblem 30th edition cart sleeve looked pretty similar to this one
Picking mines up after work!
I live in Japan, so I got the Japanese. We got 2 Famicom controllers that can be used as either joycons or independantly on their own. The cards are different, too. Definitely glad I got the Deluxe Edition, though.
Play Asia has the standard physical version for 23$.
then u have to pay up the ass for shipping
@@70smebbinlike $7 or $8 for me usually? Not that big of a deal. I live in US though.
@@70smebbin not reallly
but its sold out
60 isn’t bad for all that
Feels great to treasure the collection of Nintendo NES Championship for years with the big cartridges of the NES!
I just picked up mine, on the same day of my birthday!!!! Happy to have it in my collection!!!!
I love unboxing like these. Keep em coming! I got this as well and checked everything out. I love this collector’s edition!

Top shelf, all the way
Wish it came with the NES controllers like the Japanese version.
I checked, they pushed the sell of the Famicom controller along with the physical edition in the promo material but they are not included.
@@daviddenoncourt757 Just watched a video of an unboxing of the Japanese version, came with the controllers like the promo material said they would.
@@GrimFox47 That would've been a lawsuit if it didn't come with a controller.
The fuck
I’m full up on controllers, I’d rather get exclusive stuff like this instead.
Should’ve come with controllers like Japan

It's not even a replica. It would have a gold label and no "NES Edition" written on it.
Frame all the art cards in one nice collage.
Thanks for the technical analysis of the cart as always spawnwave, its interesting to see how these things work..
Jon, That is a great Collector’s Edition! I’m not a fan of speed gaming, but that is cool!

The JP version came with 2 Famicom Controllers for Switch. Pretty awesome. Glad I got it.
Just got mine today
Great unboxing, seems old school for Spawnwave
Im watching you open yours so i can keep mine sealed lol i bought a regular copy for playing!
30 years later the value will have dropped from $80 to $5 and can't even be played anymore because the Switch had been shut down.
Pre-ordered but for some reason, target only sent it on slow mail so now I gotta wait until next week
How cool would it be to put an original World Championship game inside that cardridge. Or to put an Raspberry Pi inside running an NES emulator.

That looks really nice for the price for sure!
Has it already sold out or it will be re-put in my nintendo store?
I'm thinking about getting two...one to open and play/enjoy and one for collecting purposes
Wow rich boy.
lmao why though? It's not going to be worth anything years down the line. Your unopened copy will be worth the same as your opned copy. I doubt they will even be playable in years time after Nintendo shuts down the Switch.
Ooooh that NWC gold cartridge repro look very nice... pretty much the only reason I ordered this physically
It's just an empty shell, not a repro.
@@HH-rf2mw I said the wrong thing, but I know it's not a repro of an exact NWC gold cartridge... I know it is just the shell, but thanks.
nice to see it unboxed! Unfortunately, my BBY delayed my order.
That’s way cool Spawnwave 🎸🤘🌵👍
I love how nice the pins look, i was very surprised to be able to get a fancy physical edition in Canada, its usually all sold to bots online 😅
Europeans are super lucky to have a physical standard edition
Frrrrrrrrr
Can’t wait to be off and go get mine ! Just 3 more hours

I wish EU version didn't have that huge ugly age rating on it, wish it was like the US version.
Yeah the ratings on the box are a shame but atleast theres no ratings on the cartridge itself, the us versions logo has to be shrunk to accommodate, so both versions have thier flaws i suppose
My preorder will arrive tomorrow!
If the NES cart was playable I would buy it.
Whats the cartridge software version?
I just want to make sure, this has a physical cartridge for the game and not just a digital code along with physical collectors items, right?
at :50 this is why I don't order games online, and have to physically see and inspect it in store before I buy it...the folks opening the larger box that the games come in sometimes dig the box cutter too deep and cut the game boxes.
Notice how he didn’t open the game tho he might be returning it
Mine was just dropped off. Thanks for your review!
its no longer available at the nintendo store, is it limited edition?
I didn’t realize it comes with a cartridge stand! I guess I didn’t open my box far enough! 😄
You should put an actual nes game pcb inside the cartridge
So does that case have the actual game or just a download code? Ive seen some of these in stores with download codes only...
The Nintendo Switch Online NES Controllers works very fine with the Game!!!
Seems like this physical copy will NOT be available in european retail stores (physical and online). That's so sad. So not wide spread in europe... Nintendo UK seems to sell it in some way, but I don't know the details so good...

Can you play the same offline?
Must of missed my chance I couldn't find it on amazon or anything.
Getting it tomorrow. Praying it isn’t destroyed from shipping lol
Got mine in hand. Not sure if I want to keep it or return it. I thought they would include the whole game, not just challenges.
They made it clear months ago that the actual games would not be included.
Where can I buy it in Europe!? Really want this one
Is it an actual physical copy of the game or just a case with a download code?
It sucks that my GameStop didn't get them in stock even though i pre ordered it
i have to say, i'm not interested in the game but this is one of the coolest collector's editions
Can you put a PCB inside that fake NES cartridge shell? Might be cool to use it for a repro NES championship cart.
i pre-ordered from Target about 2mo’s ago and my delivery got push back a week
:(
can you transfer a pcb from a reproduction cart to this one? That would be interesting
Just got mine ❤❤❤
My box got dinged up too. But overall a lot for the price considering its Nintendo.
Is it still available online?
Do you get the 13 NES games? or is it all just chopped up challenges?
All just mini challenges not the full version games.
No Popeye 😔

Picking up my preorder from Best Buy after work and after seeing this I honestly can’t wait
Dang i regret not buying one lol
I still cant sign up for the invitation to have the chance to purchase it. Its still loading.
Honestly worth it
not really, not with the bogus cart
Oh here we go.. that's not a Mario reference
This sold out 3 days before my birthday
Wish I could get a physical $30 copy, I prefer physical but don’t need all the extra crap
I agree that they should've sold a standalone copy as well but it's not crap. 😊
@@volcalstone it’s cool stuff, just not anything I’ll use after a fun little unboxing lol
