NES Remix Critic Reviews

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.

Simple, addictive, and incredibly replayable, NES Remix is one of the smartest games Nintendo has made in ages. No one in gaming (save perhaps Sega) owns as rich a back catalog as Nintendo, and this is a great way to rework all those musty black-box NES games into a form that feel palatable to a contemporary audience.

If you can get behind the notion of old school difficulty and adore the WarioWare formula, NES Remix will hit all the right notes.

NES Remix is an instant classic easy to learn but challenging to finish. Great game with some of the best NES games. However, this kind of product needs leaderboards and some classic games like Super Mario Bros 3 or Kid Icarus.

NES Remix is defined more by the sum of its parts than its individual pieces, so have no hesitation in jumping headfirst into this excellent retro experience.

NES Remix is a shameless appeal to nostalgia with a great premise and tons of fun, varied gameplay perfect for anyone who yearns for the 8-bit era.

NES Remix is a joyful and smart collection. It has limited depth, but it's a perfect fit for some relaxed sofa-gaming sessions.

Let me make this clear -- if you find yourself playing any of these games yearly, whether it's for nostalgia or because you think they're genuinely good games, you will love NES Remix.

A must-have minigame collection for hardcore gamers, especially the ones that enjoyed the glorious 8 bit NES era.

NES Remix is a solid, fun but ultimately forgettable trip on the nostalgia road.

It misses an extra push to become a great playable tribute, but still is a fun way of (re)discover these NES classics.
