@KayFiOS Well I guess that's more your style if you don't care about the competitiveness side about it, so I cant really speak anything on that. For me I love speed runs and watching them, and seeing Nintendo lean into that in a more main stream sense is awesome. Multiplayer is a big time plus over that game, but with less actual challenges Id like to see it maybe 5 to 10 dollars cheaper. Who knows though, maybe more challenges are introduced through updates.

@KayFiOS The emulation quality in NES Remix was terrible and was if anything just a more fleshed out section of 9-Volts minigames from Wario Ware. It really wasn't anything special and there was only a few remixes, and even fewer that were actually cool. I think people are forgetting what that game actually was. This leans way more into the competitive scene than that did.

Wish it had the remixed levels from NES Remix, were kind of the high point of the games, but either way I'll probably pick this up.

Not really minding that it's got less games than those did given it's just a much stronger lineup of games. The only real duds in this batch in my view are Excitebike and Metroid and the things I dislike about the first Metroid aren't really problems that'd be present in this anyway.

@bobby_steurer That's not actually me, it's a pic of Brie Larson holding a marrow. A few years ago Nintendolife started posting articles about her since she became a Nintendo Ambassador and she ran a blog about her love of Nintendo. For whatever reason when an article popped up the comment sections would exploded which made me laugh so I used her as an avatar.

@ThatSneakman It's not sold out so you can still get tixs, it rarely ever sells out as they can scale up the capacity when it's a big year.

Very surprised they didn't save this for the confirmed June Direct but I don't really mind in the slightest because this looks like a great time. Still unsure as to whether it's worth the €30 entry fee (even if the Deluxe Edition is suitably brilliant) and I really wish they managed to snag some 3rd Party titles for this (Mega Man 2, Castlevania, Pac-Man, etc.) but besides those minor grievances, this is looking like a really cool evolution of the NES Remix titles and I'll probably end up picking it up later down the line!

also, as an aside, there's something so immensely jarring yet charming about seeing the most basic LiveSplit-esque timer in the bottom lefthand corner of the gameplay XD

@1UP_MARIO Hardly. The first NES Remix had 16 games, and it offered 204 Challenges, including Bonus and Remix stages, and cost half as much as Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, which has 13 games and "over 150 challenges." Even comparing it against NES Remix 2, which only had 12 games, it still had 169 challenges, including Bonus and Remix stages and cost half as much. This is an objectively worse version of NES Remix Pack, and I kind of wish Nintendo just ported that over instead.

We need more eshop titles like this. This looks like a blast, and might get me to purchase those NSO NES controllers if I get sucked into this, which I think I will. That deluxe edition is gonna be scalped so hard. Also multiplayer is an awesome feature that everyone seems to be overlooking.

Also I love how competitive the UI feels, even showing the inputs and the timer every where like a streamer speed running.

EDIT: After reading some comments I don't think people realize how bad the emulation quality was in NES Remix. Also how really 85% of challenges like "stomp on 3 goombas" or "grab the sword" instead of the remixes, which those in itself only had a small handful that were actually cool and not just crummy photoshop filters slapped on a bad rom of the game. This looks much more fleshed out.
