NES Remix is a Nintendo eShop exclusive game on the Wii U and is the first game in the NES Remix series. The game involves completing various challenges based upon early-to-mid Nintendo Entertainment System titles, including Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., and a few other games of the Super Mario franchise. A sequel, titled NES Remix 2, was later released in April 2014. NES Remix and its sequel were released together in 2014 as a retail compilation, NES Remix Pack. A version including some of the challenges from both games was released for the Nintendo 3DS as Ultimate NES Remix. 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.

Gameplay

NES Remix features challenges in settings from sixteen Nintendo Entertainment System games, some of which are from the Super Mario franchise. 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 "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.

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. Similarly, the player could quickly access the Nintendo eShop page for any of the games featured, before that service discontinued as well.

Stamps

Main article: List of NES Remix stamps

In NES Remix, stamps 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 Overs). There are 100 stamps that can be collected in the game, of which 10 are automatically available from the start.

Wii U	Samuel Claiborn, IGN	8/10	"Nintendo knows the power of its back catalog, and that power isn't always used for good. (See: 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.
Wii U	Marcel von Duyn, Nintendo Life	9/10	"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. 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."
Wii U	Simon Parkin, Eurogamer	7/10	"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."
