Damn I'm the same way. What the hell is wrong with me.

I only wanted to try it for a few minutes and I played it for 20 minutes until my Gamepad battery died.

It's probably just a custom NES emulator with special hooks built in to modify the games.
So for example when you play as Luigi in a mirrored level 1-2, they just load up a RAM state that includes the level you're on, number of lives, which player is playing, whether you're big or small or fiery etc., and then just executes from there. And rendering it mirrored is pretty trivial.

this sold me lol
What beta? How can I get in?
Edit: Oh. You're a liar.

Nice prank, Farva.
Next up... SNES Remix.
So, is this game worth it? I've got $10 in Nintendo coins due to their promotion, so I'd only have to spend $5. Alternatively, I could use that money to get Deus Ex: HR Director's Cut (I've never played any of the Deus Ex games before) at a discount. I wasn't around during the NES "era" so nostalgia isn't a huge point for me or anything. I do love the original SMB and other NES classics though.
And then N64 Remix. And then Gamecube Remix. And then Wii Remix. PLEASE NINTENDO! PLEASE!

If you think this is something you would enjoy, don't hesitate to get it. They could have easily sold this as a retail release for $30 and it would have still been worth it, IMO. There is a significant amount of content and it finds a solid middle ground between Wario Ware and distilling the gameplay of the NES classic games. As was mentioned earlier in this thread, it often reveals gameplay depth that you didn't realize existed in the original games, particularly if you aim for scores good enough to earn the rainbow stars. The miiverse integration is also enjoyable and levels and stamps are constantly unlocking.

Well. Deus Ex HR DC is a long and brilliant game, and if you can get it for $15, just go for it. Especially if you like stealth games. But NES Remix is also worth it, so if you can get both, do it.
The Miiverse implementation is quite lacking when you compare it to 3D World. Posts are only tied to specific stages on the stage select screen not with the a "Balloon Fight stage 4" marker within the post so the community is all posts with no context. Plus you can't do anything with the posts that appear next to a stage either except Yeah them, so no selecting them for responses or anything.
The 20 minutes or so I've played so far have been fun, only gotten rainbow stars on the first Excitebike stage, but 3 stars seems to be very easy so that everyone can unlock all the games leaving the rainbows as the actual "you did well" indicator.
How strange by the way that in Australia this is $13 AUD which seems to be cheaper than anywhere else in the world. Not bad at all.

I noticed that the SMB stages are more difficult than the rest, when it comes to getting 3 stars. It's almost like Nintendo expects everyone to remember SMB1 level 1 layout and enemy positions by heart.
Indeed, I was surprised they didn't at least auto-tag the posts with the level.
Sucks you can't comment from in-game, but fortunately if you Yeah it, it's easy to track the post down in Miiverse by checking your Yeah history.

I just realised: this game is similiar to Nintendo World Championships for NES.
In it, they used short parts of 3 different games with new goals (e.g. collected a certain number of coins in Super Mario Bros.). You couldn't beat the games, it was just for high scores.
The AVGN made a video about it. Check it out if you're curious, I thought it was pretty funny and informative.

The GCCX episode for this is so good!
lol, best episode I've seen in awhile.
I think Deus Ex: HR DC would be $40 with my $10 discount, which is still $10 more than the 360/PS3 versions and $20 more than the PC versions (although I can't get it on PC, I only own a Mac). NES Remix would be $5 for me with the discount.

I'm loving this game. I love my NES (which still works all these years later) and the challenges that I've played so far have all been great (I'm taking it slow, getting 3 shiny stars on each level). I can see me sinking a whole ton of time into this game over the next few weeks/months. The only thing I'd have wanted added (bar maybe Mario 3 representation from Nintendo) is 3rd party NES releases from the likes of Capcom and Konami. Any of the Megaman games in this game would have rocked.

This game is special. Definitely on my GOTY list. Hope it gets the attention it deserves.

Got some pretty fun remixes yesterday. But I hate the Run Mario/Run Luigi ones. D:
Also, unlocked Zelda. YESSSSS.
To me, it looks like a bit of luck is involved. I stopped pressing A after the first one up, and got it.

9.99 and you will likely enjoy every euro of it.

This is absolutely splendid. I've gone through obsessively replaying stages before moving on to the next and with the exception of Excitebike I've enjoyed every one. It really is crying out for proper leaderboards but integrating the miiverse posts with players' best times is a nice touch.
I agree about stamps causing a flood of less creative miiverse posts but people do at least seem to be having fun with it and the creative posts are still there too. I do much prefer them to achievements.

Yeah, this collection is highlighting how old NES games were honestly kind of a bitch to control. I guess that's actually another similarity with where iOS/Android currently are... except I think even with pure touch control some of those really do control way better than the likes of Mario Bros did.
And I hope they patch in support for other controllers, because for a riff on NES games it's kind of crazy to depend on that giant Game Pad.

Bought. Going to give it a try while streaming.

I think so. I've certainly had a few after losing a heart. You can only get one star if you continue after losing three hearts, though.
My Donkey Kong Jr challenge time, the four stage one stating with grabbing the parasol, is after dying twice on the last section. A subsequent, near-perfect run had a slower time. I think maybe losing a heart resets your time, like a complete retry.

Oh wow, I did not realize that the Cheep Cheep Bridge level forces you to run automatically until I had already failed a few times, haha.
EDIT: Does this game feel a little laggy to anyone else?
