Announced during today's Nintendo Direct, NES Remix is what the name implies, a collection of NES games remixed to offer up new challenges and unique spins on familiar classics.
The Games
What is the Game?
This was a bit unclear during the Nintendo Direct, but based on first impressions and the website this game is a combination of the challenge modes from New Super Mario Bros U and WarioWare-esque spins on classic games.
What Does that Means?
The game offers two different spins on the 16 included titles.
The first NES Stages allows players to go through classic stages with a specific goal in mind. Getting 10 1-ups in a row in Super Mario Bros or defeating a room of Zelda enemies without being touched.
The second Remxied Stages puts a new spin on these classic games with stuff like Link appearing in the original Donkey Kong game or having to complete a familiar Mario stage by going right to left.
Not only that, but there seems to be some graphical twists as well, some stages would have you complete it in black and white or shadows or pixelated graphics. It seems like each game will feature a variety of challenges for this as well.
What Else is New?
In addition to these two modes of play, the game supports Miiverse in multiple ways.
First, as introduced in Super Mario 3D World, this game has stamps you can use in included posts.
Second, it allows you to post your high scores and completion on Miiverse. A little friendly competition never hurt anyone.
Finally, the Remix stages seem to offer improved/cleaned up graphics for a lot of games. Nothing earth-shattering, but nice looking
Release Information
The game released today, December 18th on the eShop (Wii U Only) and goes for $15 here in North America.
