If this box contains what i think it does, then this will be the greatest moment in my career as a game collector. I brought this from a eBay auction the seller gave a list of games included mostly NES games that i owned already but there's one that caught my attention, Nintendo World Championships. Under normal circumstances, this particular game would cost a fortune. The seller probaly had no idea what they had, And that happens sometimes. Somebody's trying to get rid of some old games at a Flea Market or a Yard sale or something, and they don't realize that what they're selling happens to be one of the most rare NES games in existence.
Nintendo World Championships was never sold in stores, it was a specially-made game cartridge use as part of a gaming competition. Remember the 1989 movie The Wizard with the big game touranment? Well, this was a real-life version inspired in the movie. The competition was part of a big festivial called Powerfest in 1990. It was divided into age groups. Each winner got a cash prize of $1000 bucks and took home other goodies. The finalists each got to keep their own copy of the game. But there was another version made in gold. The gold cartridges are even more rare. Only 26 were made and given out as part of a random prize giveaway in Nintendo Power magazine. Also, the red label only existed in the Promo Picks. The acutal games were all gold with a cheap logo glued on that's been cut out with scissors. The rare about to these games were main largely unknown. But in recent years, many of them have shown up in auctions commanding huge prices but there's still more out there. Umm, there were other uhh, Nintendo contests like Campus Challenge 2 of them and the Super Nintendo Powerfest '94 competition. But Nintendo World Championships seems to be the most famous and it's considered the holy grail amongst NES collectors. Could i have one of these my possession right now? Let's find out! (The Nerd opens up the box) Oh boy, i can't wait! It's... i wonder what is probraly the gray one, but who knows? I might even be the gold one? (picks up those NES games but eventually picked up a Nintendo World Championships Reproduction cartridge and The Nerd gets surprised and shows the reproduction game cartridge)
This is a reproduction cart. Anybody can get these, worth about 50 bucks. (AVGN goes to his NES collection) Well, at least i can still say i own Nintendo World Championships. (AVGN puts in the NWC cartridge in his collection behind Ninja Kid and Nintendo World Cup) It's not the real thing. I'll never own an complete NES collection. Wait a minute, i know somebody who might own a real NWC. Yeah. somebody who as obssessed with game collecting as i am when it comes to NES. He's even more crazy.

Then we all at least is a descent one we got Ledgend of Zelda... (Finally Pat the NES Punk picks up a Gold Nintendo World Championships cartridge and the nerd sees the gold NWC cartridge and the NES Punk puts away the NWC Gold cart to the box)
AVGN: Wh-what was that game that you just had?
NES Punk: Oh, that was Ledgend of Zelda.

(The nerd puts back the Gray NWC cartridge and he picks up the Gold NWC cartridge. The Nerd and Pat the NES Punk gets shocked and excited and the NWC gold cartridge was put on the top of the couch. The nerd touch the gold NWC cartridge but Pat the NES Punk slap Nerd's hand.)

NES Punk: Yeah, OK, Well umm... I guess i'll be going now.
AVGN: OK, fine.
(Pat the NES Punk and The Nerd walks away and The Nerd sees Pat's Nintendo World Championships gold cartridge and Pat the NES Punk dreams as an award show)

NES Punk: I can't believe it i did it! Both World Championships cart! oh man! Oh, what a award! What a honor! Thank! Yeah! (Pat the NES Punk pushes the Nerd to the left) Oh yeah! (Pat the NES Punk ends dreaming and The Nerd dreams as both Nintendo World Championships carts were put on top of the shelves, Back to the award show) Now, i officialy know now that i have the best NES collection in the doomed universe but i couldn't have done it without all of you! Why who i'm kidding! I did this all of myself! And you're whole jealous!!!! HAHAHA!!!!!! (Pat the NES Punk laughs, then the Nerd sees the NWC carts on the shelves again, and The Nerd and Pat the NES Punk smiles then sees their NWC carts both together and sees both eyes on-screen) Alright Nerd, We're gonna settle this like men!
AVGN: OK, Pat!
NES Punk: Were gonna play some Nintendo World Championships!

NES Punk: OK, were-were's your Nintendo?
AVGN: Oh, the Nintendo, right there, the Nintoaster.
NES Punk: The what? Are you playing video games or making breakfast? I'm not turning these expensive games into a goddamn english muffin!
AVGN: Well, You, i mean with all seriousness we shouldn't be messing with these really, i mean like you said, they can never be played let alone to look at! So let's play the reproduction cart.
NES Punk: Great idea!
(The Nerd takes out the NWC Reproduction Cart, Pat the NES Punk puts these both NWC carts of the shelves, then pops in the NWC reproduction cart into the Nintoaster)
AVGN: Alright, hey we... The start button's not working what's going on here?
NES Punk: Well, second player starts it, are you ready?
AVGN: Oh, starting gun! (Message appears with Get Ready! Play Super Mario, Get 50 coins, then game starts with Super Mario Bros.) Super Mario Bros.?
NES Punk: Yeah, you can get 50 coins as quickly as you can, you better go!
AVGN: Oh, that's lame. I thought this was suppose to be super rare illusive game, not Super Mario Bros. which you could get for like 2 bucks, with Duck Hunt included. (Mario stops and lands with 50 coins) Ok, so i got the 50 coins, That's it?
NES Punk: That's it, now it's on to Rad Racer. (Message says Play Rad Racer Complete the Course!, then game starts with Rad Racer on the title screen)
AVGN: Oh, now were playing Rad Racer?
NES Punk: Yeah, oh, but just the first, the first race.
AVGN: You've got to be kidding me!
NES Punk: It's the competition, Nerd!
AVGN: Just to think, that the NWC cartridges are so expensive, You can actually use that money, and buy a real car.
NES Punk: Sure you can buy a car but order to be a racer as rad as this.
AVGN: Alright, so i finished Rad Racer (Message says Play Tetris Type-A Get High Score!, then game starts with Tetris on the title screen) Now i'm up to Tetris
NES Punk: Final game, Nerd. Alright, you're out of time limit. If you maxinium your score, you gotta get the 4-line Tetris. What, what, what i'm helping you! You think can deserve these games? You changed your name from the Angry Nintendo Nerd to the Video Game Nerd I'm the NES Punk, I deserve these games!
AVGN: I know a lot of people who owned Tetris, and they actually have the whole game. (Tetris game interrupts and message appear says Time!)
NES Punk: That's it, OK, that's your score. I'm going to annihilate it, thank you very much. (Ends Super Mario Bros. on NWC with 50 coins) OK, just beat on Super Mario Bros. now it's Rad Racer.
AVGN: Yeah, we got 2 more games.
NES Punk: Yeah i know i do it, i can count!
AVGN: Well just think, we're playing on a reproduction cart but if we were playing one those other ones, it would be the same thing, so what's the point? Just to play on a overly priced game cartridge?
NES Punk: What's the point? The point is those games a part of Nintendo and video gaming history there are part of our culture those games represent the point were Nintendo dominated our society! (Car crashes into the tree) Uh-uh Ahhh! Tetris is next! I'm not letting you taught out of me this one! I'm gonna win!
AVGN: No i'm serious. This game is a piece of shit!
NES Punk: Come on, Pat. Come on... Yeah, triple line score. Double line score. (The Nerd opens the drawer with a hammer) I'm gonna win, the games are mine!
AVGN: Nintendo World Championships is pooped on a pedostool it's an overglorified holy shit grail! FUCK IT TO HELL! FUCK IT TO HIGH-HEAVEN PURGORTORY IN ALL IT'S EXISTINCE!!!!
NES Punk: Yes-yes-yes! Yes! I won! I Won!
(Pat the NES Punk gets excited and The Nerd destroys both NWC cartridges with a hammer and Pat the NES Punk gets shocked and they get crazed on the floor picking up pieces for a gold NWC cartridge. The Nerd takes out the NWC Reproduction Cart and The Nerd gives the NWC Reproduction Cart to Pat the NES Punk.)
AVGN: Here you go, you can have this one. (The NWC Reproduction Cart falls and Pat the NES Punk and the Nerd laughs before he attacks to the Nerd.)
