NES Remix 2

While there are a few less than stellar games among the mix of new titles, it’s hard not to recommend NES Remix 2.

A superior selection of 8-bit hits makes Remix 2 a fine sequel. [July 2014, p.84]

One things is clear with NES Remix 2. It is absolutely superior to NES Remix. The assortment of offered games, inclusion of a modified version of Super Luigi Bros., and Championship Mode assure it. Yet, the lag that plagues many of the challenges can be criminal and it's a shame that the emulation issues are present.

Simply stated, NES Remix 2 is a real sequel’s sequel, with stronger games, weirder remixes and better bonuses. Players who’d like an interactive history lesson and anyone with fondness for old-school Nintendo could do far worse than romancing these ROMs.

It's more or less the same tribute to Nintendo's 8 bit era as the first NES Remix, but this time the game selection is stronger and the level design a bit better.

Oh, sweet memories. NES Remix 2 knows, just like the first, to make gamers dream about those days when they we're little, playing Mario et cetera. NES Remix 2 has a bit too much of that Mario, we would have rather seen some more other classics, but other than that it is a great game to play (off-TV). It is very addictive to make sure to complete all mini-games with three stars, and in some cases very difficult just like NES games are supposed to be.

Given the list of games provided and a creatively solid reconstruction, NES Remix 2 is the ultimate challenge compilation of 8-bit cult classics from Nintendo.

It revived my love for a number of classics, and showed me precisely how and why they worked so well. There's life and depth to these titles, and that shines particularly well when they're so artfully and cleverly jumbled together.

NES Remix 2 is another classic easy to learn but challenging to finish. Better game selection with some of the best NES games. However, isn't better in terms of minigames.

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.

A love letter to the Nintendo Entertainment System and a wonderful introduction or reintroduction for gamers of all ages, NES Remix 2 expands on the entertaining original by providing challenges based on some of the best first-party games ever released on the system, making it a more complete package than its predecessor.

NES Remix 2 is a solid follow-up with more "must have" games and a few extras to sweeten the deal.

The fundamental premise of NES Remix 2 remains sound, but the shift in focus to more complex source material crimps its style somewhat. Thankfully, the bonus modes go a long way toward restoring some of the shine to its star. It's not quite as essential a play as its predecessor, but it offers an amusing, self-referential distraction nevertheless.

Twelve more games, and a frankly better selection than the first one, for all the people who want to explore the remote past of videogames.

This one is for the nostalgic fans out there that grew up with and respect the 8-bit era. Nintendo has put together some solid mini-games and remix levels from some of their strongest NES titles. You’ll find a lot to love about NES Remix 2. Just beware of the occasional frustrating moments.

It turns out that better games don't necessarily make for better remixes.

A good collection of mini games becomes a great experience if you’re old enough to feel nostalgic.

Another fun and massive minigame collection for hardcore gamers. Maybe lacks in the innovation side, but still a very addictive experience.
