NES Remix takes most of the NES' early library of first party games, and fractions them into small tasks that help to revisit the most satisfying moments of each, as well as "remixes" some into new types of gameplay involving all sorts of cool and surprising elements.
NES Remix feels like Wario Ware without Wario. There's lot of fun with these simple games that keep the player waiting for the next surprise or the next remix. Now we want SNES Remix!
As if getting excited for the involved games wasn't difficult enough, NES Remix's ideas for challenges are repetitive and widely underwhelming. The arbitrary goals friends assign each other for games they've mastered are better than all but NES Remix's few fleeting moments of greatness, and that's genuinely disappointing when considering Nintendo's usual brilliance at reworking its history in enjoyable ways.
SummaryNES Remix is a compilation title available in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U that brings together 16 classic NES games and updates with more modern challenges.
