New modes were announced for a pair of Nintendo games today, one to come and one out for a couple of years.
Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition revealed a pair of new competition methods today in the Nintendo Direct. A "Survival" mode will see you race ghosts of seven other players in a knockout format, while "Legend" challenges involve completing more difficult or extended tasks. The example given for a Legend challenge is completing an "any%" speed run of Super Mario Bros.
Additionally, a new update was detailed for 2022's Nintendo Switch Sports. The free update this summer will add a 2v2 basketball option, with online play support.
