History VideoGame / NESRemix

* CosmeticAward: Getting Three stars on every stage in Ultimate NES Remix (Except for Bonus 27 and 28) will unlock Famicom Remix, which is basically the exact same game again, but a few games have changes present (Most prominently would be Kid Icarus, Zelda 1 & 2, and Metroid having FamicomDiskSystem music/sound effects.)

The game features Miiverse support and has a collection of stamps earned by getting "[[CallAHitPointASmeerp bits]]". The WiiU controller's screen always shares the TV display in this game.

* ShoutOut: One remix has the player controlling two Marios in ''MarioBros'', similar to the [[MesACrowd Double Cherry]] in ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld''. Another level does this in VideoGame/IceClimber, although both climbers are in blue it's still reminiscent of VideoGame/SuperSmashBros.

* ForcedTutorial: While the first game featured optional demo videos explaining the controls to each game, the second game instead forces the player to watch the in-game demos for ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure'' and ''VideoGame/WariosWoods'' as part of their first stages, every time the stages are played.

* FakeDifficulty: Not withstanding the "rainbow star" mechanic in and of itself (which is [[FakeLongevity another trope]]), or the glitches and bugs the NES games originally had, when trying to actually get those rainbow stars, some of the challenges (and even meeting some of the rainbow star times) are based more on luck rather than actual skill, especially the ones in Golf and Pinball. As a result, it's possible to be forced to constantly retry a challenge simply because the odds weren't in your favor. Moreover, even of you technically meet the required time for a rainbow star, you actually won't get it even if your just a point of a second off (e.g., if you got 14.2, you get the rainbow star unless you get 14.1.)

* LevelInReverse: Both flipped levels (a stage's level is mirrored) and flipped paths (start from the goal and go to the start) are present. In one remix, the level is both flipped and you have to take a flipped path.

* ''VideoGame/BalloonFight''*, ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong''*, ''Donkey Kong Jr''*, ''VideoGame/ExciteBike''*, ''VideoGame/MarioBros''*, ''VideoGame/{{Super Mario Bros|1}}''.

* NamesTheSame: The games share the name of a song in ''[=WarioWare=]: Twisted!''

** The games are named after a song in ''[=WarioWare=]: Twisted!''

* Unlockable games: ''VideoGame/KidIcarus''*, ''VideoGame/{{Metroid|I}}''*, ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', ''VideoGame/PunchOut''*, ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels''*, ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink''*.

'''''NES Remix''''' is a MinigameGame released for the WiiU on December 18th, 2013. It features NES games such as the original ''VideoGame/{{Super Mario Bros|1}}'', but challenges players to complete specific tasks in a way similar to ''VideoGame/NintendoWorldChampionships'' or [[VideoGame/WarioWare 9-volt's stages of]] ''VideoGame/WarioWare''. The "remix" stages take it a bit further by also inducing an InterfaceScrew, or actually changing the behavior or look of the game itself; in other words, [[GameMod ROM hacks]] made commercially by Nintendo themselves.

NES games featured (an asterisk indicates it's also present in ''Ultimate NES Remix'' for Nintendo 3DS):
* ''VideoGame/BalloonFight''*, ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong''*, ''Donkey Kong Jr''*, ''VideoGame/ExciteBike''*, ''VideoGame/MarioBros''*, ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros.]]''*
* Unlockable games: ''VideoGame/{{The Legend of Zelda|I}}''*, ''[[VideoGame/WreckingCrew Wrecking Crew]]'', ''[[VideoGame/IceClimber Ice Climber]]'', ''Pinball'', ''Golf'', ''Clu Clu Land''
* Games only in the bonus stages: ''VideoGame/UrbanChampion'', ''Baseball'', ''[[VideoGame/DonkeyKong Donkey Kong 3]]'', ''Tennis''

A sequel, ''NES Remix 2'', was released on April 25, 2014, featuring another set of NES titles. Features in the follow-up include (an asterisk indicates it's also present in ''Ultimate NES Remix'' for Nintendo 3DS):
* Starting NES games: ''VideoGame/DrMario''*, ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure''*, ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2''*, ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''*, ''Wario's Woods''
* Unlockable games: ''VideoGame/KidIcarus''*, ''[[VideoGame/{{Metroid1}} Metroid]]''*, ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', ''VideoGame/PunchOut Featuring Mr. Dream''*, ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels''*, ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink''*
* Game only in the bonus stages: ''Ice Hockey''
* ''Super Luigi Bros.'', a remixed version of ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros.]]'' featuring only Luigi (using his ''Lost Levels'' physics), and has him going right to left like in one of the NES Remix levels.
* NES Championship, a new mode based on the ''VideoGame/NintendoWorldChampionships'' and ''Nintendo Campus Challenge 1991'', where players go through a challenge from each of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'', and ''VideoGame/DrMario'', aiming for a high score. [[OldSaveBonus It is only available to players who have a save file of the first game]]. It is also available on ''Ultimate NES Remix''.

A pair of [[CompilationRerelease compilation re-releases]], ''NES Remix Pack'' for UsefulNotes/WiiU and ''Ultimate NES Remix'' for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, release in late 2014. ''Pack'' contains ''NES Remix 1'' and ''2'' and ''Ultimate'' only has the best challenges and features from the two ''NES Remix'' games, as well as a brand new remixed version of ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros.]]'' called ''Speed Mario Bros.'', in which the game is twice as fast. ''Ultimate'' also features improved online leaderboards.

* OneHundredPercentCompletion: ''2'' has several rewards for achieving different stages of full completion:

* AscendedGlitch: Small Fire Mario from ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros.]]'' (see [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIgTFfsL9OA this video]] for how this glitch works). One of the [=SMB=] challenges in ''[=NES=] Remix'' is using Small Fire Mario to defeat a number of enemies as fast as possible without taking damage.
* AuthorAppeal[=/=]PanderingToTheFanbase:

* ClassicCheatCode: One is hinted at at the end of the records screen in the second game, as well as in a Miiverse post: [[spoiler:Hold down Start, Select, A, and R to unlock all the NES games.]]

* CosmeticAward: Getting Three stars on every stage in Ultimate NES Remix (Except for Bonus 27 and 28) will unlock Famicom Remix, which is basically the exact same game again, but a few games have changes present (Most prominently would be Kid Icarus, Zelda 1 & 2, and Metroid having FamicomDiskSystem music/sound effects).

* ExactWords: One remix has you play through a mirrored version of World 1-2 from ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros.]]'' as Luigi. The instructions are "Get to the Goal Pole!". If you decide to get clever and use the Warp Zone instead, it counts as a loss.
** One challenge for ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels The Lost Levels]]'' tells you to enter the second pipe in an underground level. You would be forgiven for thinking this means "take the warp zone pipe", only to see the "MISS" text shortly afterwards.
* FakeDifficulty: Not withstanding the "rainbow star" mechanic in and of itself (which is [[FakeLongevity another trope]]), or the glitches and bugs the NES games originally had, when trying to actually get those rainbow stars, some of the challenges (and even meeting some of the rainbow star times) are based more on luck rather than actual skill, especially the ones in Golf and Pinball. As a result, it's possible to be forced to constantly retry a challenge simply because the odds weren't in your favor. Moreover, even of you technically meet the required time for a rainbow star, you actually won't get it even if your just a point of a second off (e.g., if you got 14.2, you get the rainbow star unless you get 14.1).

* InfiniteOneUps: One of the ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros.]]'' challenges starts with the player in perfect position for the classic staircase-shell exploit. From there, it's up to you to get ten 1-ups.

* LeeroyJenkins: A remix of the [[ThatOneLevel dreaded]] World 2-3 from ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros.]]'' (the bridge with jumping Cheep Cheeps) holds the dash button and right on the d-pad for you.

* TheLoad: Luigi is this in a ''Mario Bros.'' mission in which you have to defeat all the enemies while protecting Luigi. His AI goes either the direction opposite to yours or in the same direction as yours, switching randomly, and stubbornly refusing to budge if you run into him. Needless to say, this makes the challenge about ten times harder than it has to be.

* MuseumGame: Take a tour of some of [[Creator/{{Nintendo}} Nintendo's]] earliest NES games by playing their challenges and remixes!

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: One Remix stage has you rescuing Mario as Luigi in the 75m stage of ''Donkey Kong'' in the first part. The second part, titled "On second thought...back to the start!", has you ditching Mario and going back to the beginning of the stage.
* SequelDifficultyDrop: The second volume's games had less FakeDifficulty on average, the time thresholds for triple stars and rainbow stars are much easier to meet, and the challenges themselves are slightly easier. ''Zelda II'' for instance features boss fights where the boss' health is near empty and Link's is full.

* SlippySlideyIceWorld: One remix makes ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros.]]'' World 4-1 into this, both functionally and graphically. In the second game, a similar effect is applied to World 1-1 from ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels The Lost Levels]]'', this time including a winter-themed remix of the overworld music as well.

* CosmeticReward: Getting Three stars on every stage in Ultimate NES Remix (Except for Bonus 27 and 28) will unlock Famicom Remix, which is basically the exact same game again, but a few games have changes present (Most prominently would be Kid Icarus, Zelda 1 & 2, and Metroid having FamicomDiskSystem music/sound effects).

* {{Crossover}}: Three characters from other games take on bonus underground areas from ''SMB The Lost Levels''.
