Description
This is a high-quality, as-good-as-it gets replica (REPRODUCTION) Gold Nintendo World Championship video game cartridge. Watch this video of our cart in action.
Nintendo Power magazine gave 26 lucky winners gold cartridges as prizes in their Players’ Poll Contest in 1990. This makes the original not only a very hard game to come by, but tragically expensive to purchase.
We are retro gamers to the core at 1UP Retro, and we feel that just because this cart is so incredibly rare, it doesn’t mean you have to be lucky or a millionaire to buy it. You can now own this awesome reproduction of a great piece of video game history for an affordable price.
This cart makes for a great conversation piece and is perfect for old-school, friendly competition amongst fellow retro gamers, friends and family.
NOTE: The sticker will not be on the cart when you receive your order. It will come with 2 different NWC sticker options and you may choose which one you would like to adhere.
HOW THE DIP SWITCH WORKS:
The DIP Switch allows different times depending on position (on/off). All pins down/off will give you 5 minutes.
Pin 3 up/on is the common configuration for 00:06:21:00 (which is actually more around six minutes and 15 seconds).
This cart is compatible with original hardware (may or may not work on Top-Loader depending on version) and all fami-clone systems. IT WILL NOT WORK ON THE RETRON 5.
WHAT WE GUARANTEE:
– A fun and addictive time
– A tested and trusted NES reproduction
– Works on the original Nintendo system and fami-clones.
(Please let us know which system you will be playing on in the order notes. We have a few versions of the game that will not work on the Retron HD.)
– NTSC compatibility
– Free shipping
– 100% satisfaction or your money back
– Your retro gaming friends will be jealous

Delivery was surprisingly fast, Amazon Prime-level shipment speed. I purchased both the grey and gold variants, and I am very satisfied with both, especially with the variety in label options on the cartridges themselves. Only issue is I had trouble booting them up on my Retron HD, but they worked perfectly on both the original toaster and Top Loader NES models. Highly recommend if you want some sweet memorabilia for your shelf, or for something to bring with at conventions.

Very impressed with this replica cart. It’s very well made and plays perfectly! By far the best reproduction cart of its kind available! I had the privilege of meeting Jeremy and seeing the product beforehand. He is passionate about gaming and it shows in this game’s development. The painstaking effort and attention to detail is incredible from the dip switches and the board to the hand dipped gold color both inside and out. Worth every penny! Great job 1upretro!

Haven’t tried playing it yet, but a beautiful part of my collection. Am very happy with this purchase! It looks like allot of time and effort went into making this product and I will buy from you guys again!

Very good cartridge. The only thing that concerned me was that it didn’t have a blue and white DIP switch like some of the pictures showed. Other than that, a very great item to have, and I will look forward to sell it to a friend after playing all the games on there.

Hello BannanaStanDaMan.
We apologize for the misleading image. We do have various chip colors and we use what we have available at the time we
make the boards and cartridges.
At this point in time, we do not have any of the blue and white DIP switches, but if you would like, we can email you
when we do get them back in stock.
Thank you for your input and GAME ON!

The package arrived sooner than I expected and the quality of the product is so brilliant it gives me the pleasure of owning a vintage replica of video game history. Nintendo World Championship 1990 Gold Cartridge is extremely elusive, so having this on display on my self is nothing but satisfaction. It does look rather lonely, so maybe down the road I will order its grey companion….
