This being Nintendo, maybe forever.
But this could be used to demo VC games. Paid demos, since you would have to buy challenge packs with new games

There was a rating for this, so that's where the name was known from. But that's all. And honestly, I had completely forgotten about this before they announced it.

Well they did it twice today if you count Sports U golf. Although I guess we knew that was coming eventually.

Loving it, this will be a fun review to write. Am I wrong or normal stages (not remixed) have a better color palette than the virtual console games?
I don't think you're dumb.
We "knew" in the sense that it was leaked when rated in Australia.. not by any teases or hints Nintendo dropped.
And finally downloading this title!
I know rite.

Can't wait to play this. =D
ooo, "Nes Remix" Trending worldwide!
ooo, "Nes Remix" Trending worldwide!
Don't know why, but kind of surprised (& pleased) that "NES Remix" is #10 on Worldwide Trends on Twitter. Guess their strategy of "Hey look at this game that has all this nostalgia presented in a cool new way GUESS WHAT IT'S AVAILABLE NOW!!" paid off.
Think Nintendo could get 3rd parties on board for this? I'd love to see challenges based on NES games/franchises like Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, Mega Man, Contra, & more.

Yeah, interesting point. Many things that are worthwhile to existing owners, but don't help a huge amount in recruiting NEW owners.
I imagine February will be the direct that they try to make a bit more of a splash, along with E3. All that seems so far away. Getting SM3DW finally next week at least, so that'll keep me occupied for a little while.
Long. I've been playing for over 7 hours and still haven't unlocked everything. Definitely worth the $15 if you like retro games.
That's pretty good.
And seeing other people's scores makes this replayable too, if you like more challenge.
I want to see some super play!

Anyone see the last level yet?
Makes you feel proud to be a gamer son
I know son.
Though Balloon Fight can go fuck itself. I knew there was a reason I avoided that game as a child.
Not broken -- It's intentional. Link can't jump in the NES Zelda, so it's kind of like the parts of the dungeon where you go down stairs to get an item and the view changes. And I suppose letting him use his sword would remove any hint of challenge. And it probably isn't a spoiler, just being overly cautious because I think I've had the chance to get a lot further along than others.
Yep, games are so easy nowaday, it's good to play some remixed NES game and be proud of our (forgotten) skill improving over time.
I... have an addiction to rainbow stars.. must find way to cut time
Think have half of Donkey Kong as Rainbow stars so far.
Two minor complaints...
1)I wish the stamps were connected to the games you're playing. Awesome, but went through Donkey Kong first and unlock SMB stamps. Balloon Fight now and still collecting Mario stamps.
2)There's no way to see your friends high-score alone is there?

Why is this game trending worldwide? D:
you can really feel that the levels were designed to improve your overall playing skill. Which is awesome!
It's the U's killer app.

This is pretty funky.
No GOTY mentions as of yet.
I feel the same. But I must go further.
Never forget, I'm dumb too.
It makes Zelda look so easy.
This is how evil making Link complete a level of Donkey Kong is:

This game is actually teaching me a lot about the mechanics about these older games, some of which I never bothered to learn (and a couple of the games I've never played). Addictive as hell, too. What a surprise. eShop killer app?

It's intentional, but that doesn't mean it isn't broken. That stage is basically a series of coin flips deciding whether the barrel comes down the ladder you are on.
