''NES Remix'' was later removed from the Wii U eShop after its discontinuation on March 27, 2023, making it no longer possible for players to purchase the game. However, players who purchased the title before this date can still play it as long as it is on their Wii U device. | |||

''NES Remix'' contains sixteen [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] games remixed with new challenges. Examples include beating a stage from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' backwards as [[Luigi]], or playing ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' as [[Link]]. During each stage, the player is given a certain number of hearts as "life"; if the player dies at any point in the game, they "Miss" and lose one heart. Losing all of them results in a game over. After clearing each stage, the player is given a ranking of one to three stars based upon their clear time; if the player clears in a low enough time, the three stars become rainbow stars. These stars are required to unlock the Remix levels. | ''NES Remix'' contains sixteen [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] games remixed with new challenges.

The game | The game featured [[Miiverse]] integration, in that players could share their level clear times with other players, and make posts to Miiverse which could be viewed and liked by other players in-game. The game also incorporates stamps; after clearing each level, the player is given a certain number of Bits based upon the conditions on which they cleared the stage, and collecting a certain number of Bits unlocks a stamp that represents a character or an item of the game. This would later be discontinued with the closure of the Miiverse service on November 7, 2017. | ||

In ''NES Remix'', [[stamp]]s are earned by collecting Bits. These are automatically obtained by clearing stages. Extra Bits are earned for clearing stages for the first time, obtaining high scores and/or clearing them perfectly (without taking damage or obtaining misses or [[Game Over]]s). There are 100 stamps that can be collected in the game, of which 10 are automatically available from the start. | In ''NES Remix'', [[stamp]]s are earned by collecting Bits.

|"''Nintendo knows the power of its back catalog, and that power isn't always used for good. (See: [[Nintendo Land|Nintendoland]],{{sic}} a milquetoast minigame collection inspired by some of the very same games featured in Retro Remix.) So it's especially cool to see Nintendo get behind a project like NES Remix, which both honors classic games and rips them apart. It’s a clever and challenging way to experience the classics without just retreading old ground. The possibilities for expanding the Remix series are so unbelievably great, too. I'm ready for the next batch now: Punch-Out!!, Kid Icarus and Metroid were cruelly ignored this time. And what about Super NES Remix? Game Boy Remix? Nintendo 64 Remix?!! But I digress. | |||

|"''It would be simple to write off NES Remix as something only die-hard retro gamers would enjoy, but developer indies zero is really on to something here — the 200+ challenges are short enough to be interesting and fun to replay, but not long enough to outstay their welcome. The developer has even somehow managed to make challenges based on games like Urban Champion and Baseball fun to play, which is an achievement in itself. If you're the type who likes to relentlessly collect stuff, the stars and stamps will also keep you entertained for quite a while.<br>Perhaps if this becomes a success, we could see a sequel with more NES games, or even SNES games? One can only hope — but for the time being, this totally unexpected surprise ranks as one of the Wii U eShop's most engaging and downright enjoyable downloadable titles."'' | |||

|"''Despite the range of games on offer (everything from motocross to pinball) there is an inevitable sense of repetition, perhaps because the original games themselves were, behind the artwork, less distinct than they first appeared. As with many reconstituted products, NES Remix is immediately delicious, but inspires an obsession that it can't sustain for long."'' | |||
