NES Remix

Template:Articleabout Template:Infobox NES Remix, known as Famicom Remix (Japanese: ファミコン リミックス Famikon Rimikkusu) in Japan, is a Nintendo eShop exclusive game on the Wii U. The game involves completing various challenges based upon early-to-mid NES titles, such as Super Mario Bros., Clu Clu Land, and The Legend of Zelda. A sequel, titled NES Remix 2, was later released in April 2014. Both titles have also been released as a compilation at retail in Japan, titled Famicom Remix 1 + 2, released on April 24, 2014. This compilation was announced to be released on December 5, 2014 in San Diego Comic-Con 2014 in North America with the name NES Remix Pack. It is also the first game in the NES Remix series.

Gameplay

NES Remix contains sixteen NES games remixed with new challenges. Examples include beating a stage from Super Mario Bros. backwards as Luigi, or playing 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 lose one heart, and 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.

The game features Miiverse integration, in that players can share their level clear times with other players, and make posts to Miiverse which can 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.
