In late 2012, 2 things were released without any warning from the media, the companies involved, or...anyone in general. Those 2 things are Beyonce's self-titled album and NES Remix. We're here to talk about the game. Sorry, Beyonce. About a year later, NES Remix 2 came out. It was a simple expansion to the first. Now, we have 2 more games in the NES remix series...sort of. NES Remix Pack for the Wii U, and Ultimate NES Remix for the 3DS. The NES Remix pack is simply a collection of everything from the first 2 games, so if you want a cheaper version, that's what you want. Ultimate though...isn't that. It is a collection of previous remixes simply stripped down to the fan favorite ones. As such, I can't properly review the game without referencing what was cut out. Since I don't own a Wii U, I can't say what's cut out. There is one new thing in this game that I can talk about though. Speed Mario Brothers. It's Super Mario Bros. Sped up. That's it. So, could I recommend this to someone that already owns the original 2 or the pack? Unless you wanna pay 30 dollars for one new thing and a "Famicom version" as an unlockable, absolutely not. If you haven't played any of them, I could POSSIBLY recommend it. If you own a Wii U, pass on this and get the bundle. Not much else to say, really.

7.8/10

I noticed the review you talk about the Wii U version, but here you have the 3DS version linked.

Overall I have played through and gotten like 730 stars on the 3DS version. I like all the challenges and they have a lot of great games mixed in. Lots and lots of unlockables and cool challenges, level designs and "remixes" of your favorites from the NES era. Overall it's certainly worth the $$ if you have a 3DS on replay value alone.

I do like the game, don't get me wrong. And I can see why. I freaking love some of the remixes. *cough*Ice Skating*cough*

And I just used those versions for reference.

I agree with the final score the NES remix games are ok but they're mainly for people who either played NES games in the past that want to experience them in a new way or for people who've never played those kind of games but want to.

This seems more like a game buying guide than a review to be honest... Why does the game only get a 7.8? Does it have a story? What about graphics, sound, depth, and difficulty, these things are missing, which is sad, I was really curious when I saw that it was an NES remix for the 3DS... I would add detail, give us an intro and review etc. 

Keep posting, I did similar things when I first started posting.

Sorry to say, but that's all I can really do for this one. I DO do full length reviews. I can't do one for this because it's simply a "best of" of a best of. If you played both the originals, average the score and subtract 1. I think that'll be your score for the game. Sorry.
