NES Remix 2 is a Nintendo eShop-exclusive game on the Wii U. It is the sequel to NES Remix. Focusing on games released later in the NES's lifespan than its predecessor, it follows the same formula by taking portions from classic NES games, including a few games of the Super Mario franchise, and "remixing" them to provide a new challenge to players. NES Remix 2 was released with NES Remix as a physical compilation, NES Remix Pack. NES Remix 2 was later removed from the Wii U eShop after its discontinuation on March 27, 2023, making users no longer able to purchase the title.

Gameplay

Players must complete stages, split across one to eight challenges, based on excepted or "remixed" areas from various games, including some from the Super Mario franchise. In doing this, they can earn up to three stars per challenge, which unlock further games and stages with which to earn more stars. "Bits" are also awarded based on success, which unlock Miiverse stamps. Stars are awarded based on completion time; while a particularly quick time earns a further bonus, represented as the stars being outlined with an iridescent "rainbow" border and a larger bit award. Each stage gives a player one to eight lives to complete it - the player can continue mid-stage after a game over, but is capped at a maximum of one star if they do so and must complete it again in one set of lives to increase the award.

The game offered Miiverse integration, allowing players to share their level clear times with others and add stamps to their posts, but this was later discontinued with the closure of the Miiverse service on November 7, 2017.

Super Luigi Bros.

Super Luigi Bros. is a port of the original Super Mario Bros., albeit with some changes. In this version, Luigi is the main playable character instead of Mario, functioning as he does in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (excluding the low traction), and all of the game's levels are mirrored (i.e. the player moves through levels from right to left).

Championship Mode

There is a third game mode called Championship Mode, which can only be played after the first game, NES Remix, has been downloaded to the console. The mode uses a scoring system for three different games (Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3 and Dr. Mario) inspired by the 1990 Nintendo World Championships.

The player is given 6 minutes and 21 seconds at the very start. The first challenge is Super Mario Bros., in which the player must collect 50 coins. After doing this the second challenge involves collecting 25 coins in Super Mario Bros. 3. Finally, the player must earn as high a score as possible with their remaining time or until they lose in Dr. Mario.

Luigi sightings

Main article: List of Luigi sightings in NES Remix 2

Similar to New Super Luigi U and Super Mario 3D World, an 8-bit Luigi can appear for a short time in some stages. However, most of his appearances are not consistent and may require multiple plays of stages to see him. If Luigi appears in a player's fastest clear time of a stage, he appears in the recording as well.

Reception

Reviews
Release	Reviewer, Publication	Score	Comment
Wii U	Chris Carter, Destructoid	8/10	"NES Remix 2 is a solid follow-up with more “must have” games and a few extras to sweeten the deal. If you passed due to the ho-hum nature of some of the titles in the original offering, think about checking it out this time around."
Wii U	Anthony Severino, GameRevolution	8/10	"After NES Remix, I knew I wanted more. NES Remix 2 is definitely a step in the right direction, but due to featuring fewer games than the first Remix (which had 16 as opposed to the sequel's 12) and not including the best from the first, there's still an air of incompleteness about it. The games that exist, though, are more significant so it is a fair trade-off. It's well worth the $15 asking price and I'd even pay a full $60 for a disc-based version of NES Remix, NES Remix 2, and the inevitable NES Remix 3 if all the games were included together cohesively. Hell, I'd be happy to see this franchise turn into a quarterly release and go through hundreds of NES classics and I don't think it'd get old to me. I'm enjoying them that much."
Wii U	Jason Venter, GameSpot	7/10	"NES Remix 2 is a highlights reel that you pay for, but that's not as bad as it sounds provided you are interested in challenging yourself while you reminisce and sample. Old conventions have been modified to offer enough variety and genuinely interesting challenges that they manage to prove fresh all over again. Nothing here works as a replacement for the original material, but this is still a delightful experience whether you remember blowing the dust out of 8-bit cartridges or not."
