**Are you the very, very best? Do you have what it takes to cruise through any NES game?**

It is your NEStiny to prove yourself in this battle of the retro-gamers and show that **YOU** are the strongest **all-around NES Champion**.

# The Format

NEStiny is a gauntlet of 4 very different speedruns, each showcasing a different quality of what NES runs have to offer.

Unlike other races, NEStiny doesn't use a single timer for the whole event. Each game is timed individually, racers' times are compared head-to-head, and points are distributed accordingly. This keeps things balanced across games of wildly different length and difficulty - losing seconds in a short game matters just as much as losing minutes in a long one. The competitor with the most points across all 4 games will be crowned the victor!

Estimated total runtime: ~2 hours.
