Man I just realized I have no idea how the 1-up trick works in the original SMB. It's different in Lost Levels and every game that came after it.

strange to watch you stream and post on GAF at the same time
how did you get shiny stars on that anyway you died
As long as you don't get a Game Over, it doesn't matter if you die.

Did you get anything for hitting that goal?
You get the last level for hitting 600 stars. There's nothing for 612 stars, they probably wanted to give you some room if you don't like certain games/challenges.

i finally get the appeal of this game after watching some videos. these challenges help teach you how to play the games while also affirming your retro gaming skills. it never feels like a tutorial though and more like the essence of competitive classic gaming.
i was put off bc i thought it was like those flash ROMS but i think 15$ is still too expensive. 10$ and im in.
its like warioware + the wizard + nintendo world championships + achievements trophies. nintendo can potentially bring back NWC with these types of games.

It is absolutely worth $15. Don't put off buying it for the sake of $5, it's worth every cent.

Like I posted a few pages ago...
NES Remix has 16 NES games and each one has 10-25 challenges associated with it. That works out to 94 cents per game, or 4 to 10 cents per challenge.
Compare that to WarioWare Smooth Moves on Wii, which had 205 microgames and initially retailed at $50. At that price each microgame cost about 25 cents. Even if you were able to score that game for half price, it still wouldn't be as good a deal as NES Remix!
You compared it to WarioWare yourself. It's a better value than that!

Played it last night, couldn't put it down. Such a great little title. Easily worth the $15
I don't get how these timers work. I start with 100 secs, I finish a challenge with say 75 secs left but the game says my clear time is 0:17.2. Shouldn't it be 25 secs? It's confusing.
Also, how the hell do you do the very first challenge in under 20 secs to get rainbow stars? My best time is 22 secs, and that's running all the way. Are there hidden "tricks" or something to quickly beat a challenge?

Correctly priced. Will probably bite! But I need to finish TLOU first.

It's weird how this is kind of an elaborate marketing ploy for the Virtual Console.
Best-made commercial for most poorly-handled service I've ever seen.
Also makes the absence of Challenge Mode in SM3DW all the more apparent.

Yeah. I got 14 or something seconds on that one. I'll spoiler it, but it's just kind of stupid:
when you kill the you kill the goomba after the koopa troopa slow down; the next group of two then one goomba will be two and two instead, taking you to 15 kills. I guess it's something to do with how many goombas the game will have on screen at a time; that last goomba won't be there if you're too fast and the dying goombas from before are still showing
somehow the winterholiday themed song is way louder than the normal eshop music.
I hate Nintendo's digital system,so I've only been in the store a few times, I don't remember any old music, but man, when the whole sound system is turned up that was not a pleasant suprise.

Game seems awesome, will get soon.
I love and hate Nintendo for making cool games available right after Directs out of the blue.

Nintendo usually uses external developers for their download games.

Sega kids were always noobs.
It really is. There's an eShop link right in there which takes you directly to all 16 games, which are conveniently available for individual purchase.
You feel that way now, but soon you'll just be happy you stopped worrying about it, and enjoy playing games.

I'm still feeling guilty about it now! ha
Any advice for SMB 15 anyone? (Enter a pipe) Can not get sub 34 for the life of me.
Yes. The jumping in SMB levels just seems a little bit off.
Could be the new TV and not really being used to the gamepad for 2D stuff though. Why no classic controller support?

See if you've got a Game setting on your set. You want to get it at the same latency as the pad and a lot of people have TVs that lag behind it.

Bought it a few hours ago and couldn't stop playing.
A Sega classics game like this with their arcade titles would be even better.
Yeah, I turned it on and didn't notice a difference. I mean, it's not awful or anything, just trying to do quick jump successions doesn't feel that responsive. I've 3 starred everything up to like 174 stars, so it's obviously playable.
Could just be SMB. I mean I've played it a billion times but never tried speed running or anything like the challenges have you attempting. I also have one of those silicon skins for the gamepad which I'm starting to think might cover the face buttons too much.
Psycho Fox fans would like to have a word with you.
I'm starting to think this challenge is impossible. (SMB 15)
I'm getting into the first pipe with 347 on the timer, the second level i'm really inconsistent at and the third I feel could be faster, as I'm waiting around the for the flame a bit.
EDIT: and BOOM, 3 stars, this game is so rewarding

Bestbuy is having a 20% off sale on eshop cards on Sunday.

I definitely felt a different in jumping off the last pixel of a platform on my TV versus the gamepad. I definitely have a very slight lag on the TV; no problem at all on the gamepad.
Could also try playing on the controller and see if it makes a difference.
Edit
And beaten!
Most Sega games are harder than most Nintendo games.
Are there 16 unused NES games made by Nintendo and released internationally and that they hold all the rights to (no Popeye, no Mother, no Rare games), so that they could make NES Remix 2 with an all-new line up of games? I would imagine that's more likely than SNES Remix.
Super Mario Bros 2
Super Mario Bros 3
Zelda 2
Metroid
Kid Icarus
Dr. Mario
Yoshi
Kirby
Wario's Woods
Punch Out!!
Yoshi's Cookie
NES Open Golf
Pro Wrestling
After this I'm drawing a blank, but I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to fill 3 more slots.

I know that my setup doesn't lag because I'm not even playing on an HDTV. I'm playing on the same processing-free capture card that I hook my retro systems into, and if I wasn't playing on this, I'd be playing on a lag-free computer monitor. (I don't see myself ever buying an HDTV for gaming. Why pay more for worse results?)
I'd need to dust off the old consoles to actually confirm though. Might just be rust. Or my computer might be randomly fucking up. I dunno.
NES Remix might have been my fastest impulse purchase ever, though. All I heard was "NSMBU Challenge Mode applied to a dozen NES games" and was like "ok bought." Would have probably thrown down for $30.

In all my years on the Wii, I've bought a grand total of 6 Virtual Console games: 5 imports plus 1 game that had been patched in a significant way that I wanted to investigate. It's not even an issue with Nintendo specifically, really. I never go digital when I have the original or equivalent physical option available to me unless it's just a matter of supporting the release on principle.You feel that way now, but soon you'll just be happy you stopped worrying about it, and enjoy playing games.

Off the top of my head... Gyromite, Soccer, 10-Yard Fight, Devil World, Donkey Kong Jr. Math, Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, Mother.
How could I forget about Duck Hunt??
Don't think they would include Mother because it never came out in America, so they're not going to put it on the eshop here. Same with Devil World. Same with Star Tropics, but in reverse.
Does Gyromite require ROB?
Technically, no. You can control what ROB is suppose to do by plugging a normal NES controller into the 2nd port & hitting the B & A buttons yourself (or having a friend do it).
