    Hey kids! Do you want to be told to do menial tasks in classic video games that just make you wish you were actually playing the game? Well then this game is for you! With tasks ranging from jump on a goomba to taking the sword in the beginning of The Legend of Zelda, you'll jump for joy as the mind-numbingly obvious instructions practically insult your intelligence.

    Honestly, there's no need for you to buy this game. Just play the originals. The lousy "remixed" stages are just parts of the original game with elements from other games thrown in so lazily that it barely affects the gameplay at all.

    Seriously, just go into the virtual store in the eshop and buy the originals.    … Expand

    Wow this Ultimate NES Remix was a big disappointment. I think the biggest problem is holding true to the NES scheme of B for B and A for A. The A is so close to the edge of my 3DS that it's problematic and I would have appreciated it to be Y for B and B for A. The game feels like an advertisement for the real games on the virtual shop. As much as I love the idea of NES Remix, it grew to beWow this Ultimate NES Remix was a big disappointment. I think the biggest problem is holding true to the NES scheme of B for B and A for A.

    De verdad la gente solo esta valorando bien ese juego por la nostalgia que tiene de los originales de los cuales las situaciones estan sacadas, pero el juego en si ufff... no vale la pena

    It's stupid.
    Ultimate NES Remix is a collection of challenges across many classic NES titles such as The Legend of Zelda and Excitebike. The challenges are nothing more than the gameplay fundamentals, and they're insultingly easy. When there's actual challenges, they're ok; nothing more, nothing less. There aren't any sort of online leaderboards, so if you get a high score,    It's stupid.

If you want to revisit the classics, go to the Eshop and buy the original NES games instead of paying $30 for a 1-2 hours of hand-holding.

    NES Remix gets a 4/10.    … Expand

    Nintendo would have been better off renaming this 'The Best of NES Remix 1&2' - admittedly not the catchiest title but it is not misleading unlike the actual name of Ultimate NES Remix.

    Ultimate NES Remix offers a good collection of gameplay pills to enjoy, but the price is hardly justified. If you have the chance pick up one of the two Wii U episodes, and consider this portable one only if you really enjoyed them, or just want to play outside.

    Ultimate NES Remix for 3DS takes sixteen NES classics and sends you on missions that are full of self-mockery. Everytime it is challenging to beat the high scores. An awesome game for on the go, but we cannot understand why this 3DS game offers less content than it's big brother on Wii U.
