NES Remix
International logo for NES Remix
First installment NES Remix (2013)
Latest installment Ultimate NES Remix (2014)
Number of installments 4 (2 main, 2 compilations)

The NES Remix series, known as the Famicom Remix series in Japan, is a series which remixes various Family Computer and NES games and proposing challenges of very different nature, from defeating a certain number of enemies while invincible to playing Super Mario Bros. in reverse or with broken lights to playing Donkey Kong as Link. Gameplay is comparable to the WarioWare series. The first two games were available only on the Nintendo eShop on Wii U and therefore are currently unable to be purchased, while the others are compilations that are available for physical purchase.

The series was well received by fans and critics overall.[1][2] Series director Koichi Hayashida also suggested that the possibility of expanding the series to cover games from other consoles, such as the SNES, would depend on demand and support by fans.[3] A similar game, Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, would later be released for the Nintendo Switch.
