Holy crap, I forgot about Kung-Fu. I would totally buy it or a pack if that that made into DLC.

Wonder if Nintendo will state how well this has sold.

 

[Papercuts]

This is pretty neat so far.

I haven't played Super Mario Bros. in a long time but I am having some insanely weird deaths for it, I keep missing simple jumps and having a hell of a time doing basic actions right. Hasn't been an issue for me with any of the other games.

 

[SuperPac]

Love the last SMB challenge. Very unique game to experience - it delivers so much nostalgia at such a rapid-fire pace.

Anyone know how well the Famicom Remix is going down with players in Japan?

 

[Penguin]

Still find the presentation pretty barren... odd for Nintendo.

But other than that, really great package.

Think it will sneak its way onto my GoTY list

 

[Regiruler]

Quite honestly I'd rather have them do a pictobits sequel (still the DSiWare GOAT).

Might pick up.

A new PiCTOBiTS is everything I've dreamed of. Would be great on Wii U too. My biggest problem with that game was the DS screen being too small. The GamePad's screen is so big it'd be a lot easier to exact the precision required.

I can't believe Kung Fu hasn't been mentioned, but this MUST be in the future content...

Kung Fu was not actually from Nintendo. Only published.

It was from Irem, and considering that they recently died, and de-listed their digital content across various services, means that they are a shoe-in to never appear in this.

Not to mention that Kung Fu was originally based on Jackie Chan's Spartan-X/Meals on Wheels.

So basically, don't expect it.

What a delicious assgrabbing letdown.

 

[sonto340]

When the Logo falls in on the title screen it makes a cartridge noise. I assume it sounds like a famicom cartridge going in, but I have no nostalgia for that noise..

Learn to love dat assgrab, son.

You can always count on Jeremy Parish to get it.

Simple, addictive, and incredibly replayable, NES Remix is one of the smartest games Nintendo has made in ages. No one in gaming (save perhaps Sega) owns as rich a back catalog as Nintendo, and this is a great way to rework all those musty black-box NES games into a form that feel palatable to a contemporary audience. It even manages to make Urban Champion kind of fun; truly, a Christmas miracle.  

Nice closing comments, and the whole review is spot on.

 

[zroid]

Awesome, you get a neat rainbow outline around the game icon for rainbowing the entire set

 

[llamarawk]

So yeah, Pinball sucks because it feels WAY more based on luck than skill. Especially after playing Remix II-10. Ugh. Just glad I got a Rainbow rank on that.

Level is annoying.

Tempted to get it, $15 seems a bit steep though. Hmm

15 dollar is an absolute steal for the amount of content on this game.

I remember I got that with the free DSiware credit Nintendo gave to those who bought a DSi during launch. What a seriously nice surprise that game was. I'd freakin' love to see it on Wii U with the gamepad. It'd also make it so much easier to make precise placements. But I'm getting off topic.

Forgot about the fact Irem technically made Kung-Fu. Oh well, still a good amount of NES games for Nintendo to work with.

Awesome, you get a neat rainbow outline around the game icon for rainbowing the entire set

So in addition to the gold banner + funkier music for 3-starring every level, you get a bonus rainbow banner if you get rainbow rank on each level? Ehh, unless the music is even MORE funkier, I might just stick with 3-stars for each stage.

 

[Andrew.]

show off.

 

[C.Olimar788]

Some games I'd really like to see in DLC or a sequel:

Kirby's Adventure - Seems like a shoe-in, as one of the best games on the NES. The main challenges could run you through using certain abilities, make you fight a few bosses, etc. Remixes could perhaps make you play through a level using the Star Rod ability or even playing as Meta Knight ala MetaKnightmare in the remake.

Metroid - Another shoe-in. Could have challenges involving using specific items, defeating specific enemies, or finding specific secrets ("bomb he walls!"). Remixes could have you playing as the JUSTIN BAILEY version or challenging you to beat enemies in manner normally impossible - perhaps defeating a Metroid with just missiles, ala the Prime games?

Kid Icarus - I'd mostly like this game because of how much I loathe the original, haha. Not 100% sure what all they could do since I never beat the first stage, but I'm sure there's a lot they could pull from.

Super Mario Bros. 2 Japan, "The Lost Levels" - Seems like an obvious pick, though, I'm not sure how they could differentiate its challenges strongly from Super Mario Bros. proper. Obviously they would use Luigi and things like the Poison Mushrooms...

Super Mario Bros. 2 USA - Plenty to pull from, from simply completing levels with certain players to finding secrets with the bottles to evading Phantos. Maybe they could even play with the fact that it's the same game as Doki Doki Panic and incorporate graphics from both versions in the remixes.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link - Another game I'd like because I hated the original. They could do a ton, but I at least hope the final challenge involves defeating Dark Link! Or maybe a remix where you play as Dark Link...?

Super Mario Bros. 3 - Just needs challenges involving getting the Warp Whistles. Anything else is gravy.

MOTHER - Never going to happen probably, but it would be very cool if it did!

Just bought the game. What's the rainbow outline around the stars? I got it on the first level.

Also, are there any leaderboards? Edit: Ok, no leaderboards.

 

[Shadowman16]

Leaderboards - no but you can display scores via Mii Verse
Rainbow outlines around stars - achioeved when you clear the levels within a certain time. From my play time so far some levels are really easy to rainbow star while others require deadly precision.

This might be my favourite Wii U game released this year! Well, its in the top 3 thats for sure. The challenge mode aspect of the game is something I've wanted from more Nintendo games for a while and the rainbow stars are insanely addictive to go after (and I feel like I finally understand how to play Excite Bike properly).

I'm pretty sure the number of stars is based on time, but rainbow stars require taking no damage, or never missing

 

[Dice]

Not on 3DS for absolutely no goddamn reason. Okay.

 

[marc^o^]

Not on 3DS for absolutely no goddamn reason. Okay.

Jeremy Parish said it best, this game would have been the ideal one for a cross-buy, cross-save with 3DS. Nintendo needs to start working on this 3DS synergy, such an obvious priority.

I would buy this in a second if it was cross-buy.

No, rainbow is based on time also. I've gotten a rainbow while losing a life.

 

[LOCK]

Just want to say that this game is hella addicting.

I want a NES Remix 2, a SNES Remix, etc. So much potential

 

[AniHawk]

i like this way more than wario ware. i mean it's the same damn thing as wario ware, but wario ware felt way too long to get to segments that were so damn short.

 

[Jackano]

I may be getting this, but I'm not sure... How hard is it and how interesting (without spoils) are the Zelda remix?

 

[BGBW]

Not on 3DS for absolutely no goddamn reason. Okay.

Well considering some of the remixes

Spoiler

(the zoom out ones)

are almost impossible to see what is going on with the GamePad god help you trying to play them on the tiny 3DS screen.

 

[marc^o^]

This game is basically a concentrate of everything that constitutes Nintendo gameplay mechanics of the NES era. The brilliant thing with NES REMIX game design is, they managed to make addictive sections of games noone cares about in their original format.

This concept is a gold mine, I'll buy every sequels. Each studio from the past needs to copy this.

[insin]

Put this on for a "quick go" when I downloaded it last night, as my throat was feeling like I'd been gargling Spinies. Ended up rolling into bed at 4:30am and was barely able to speak when I woke up this morning

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Want 3RD party games to be included!

 

[BGBW]

solution : Gnarly mix

I hope one unlocks a medley mix like this when you've gotten everything. Playing these games back to back Wario Ware style would complete the package.

 

[BGBW]

Cleared DK Jr with rainbow rank for everything. Times were:

1. 15.7
2. 22.4
3. 8.9
4. 21.1
5. 18.1
6. 22.2
7. 21.0

Punchout is such an obvious choice in this game I'm amazed they left it out.
Remix 2 perhaps. Or dlc?

Yeah, I remember Kung Fu Master being one of my favorite arcade games at the time. When I first saw the NES version I didn't even realize it was a home version of that game because for some reason "Master" was omitted from the name.

When I read the description, I was like "Holy Shit, this is Kung Fu Master" and bought it immediately lol.

Look at my list a few posts up. "Remix I", "Remix II" and "Bonus" are remixed stages, everything else are challenges from the normal games.
