If you can get behind the notion of old school difficulty and adore the WarioWare formula, NES Remix will hit all the right notes. It doesn't shy away from its retro roots, but rather fully embraces them.
If NES Remix's poor selection of games can be explained by its entire roster being individually available on the Wii U eShop, then the project should have been held back until a better selection was available. As if getting excited for the involved games wasn't difficult enough, NES Remix's ideas for challenges are repetitive and widely underwhelming.
It lacks a lot of bells and whistles that newcomers may find inexcusable, but I had a smile on my face almost the entire time, and experienced the same controller throwing moments (although a GamePad against a wall would be more disastrous) that made me persevere until I got it right.
Japan's official site for NES Remix is live as well. If you'd rather check out footage than play the game itself, hit up the link below to check out the site!
