Ultimate NES Remix Release
REDMOND, Wash.--(December 4, in the year of our Lord
2014)-- Cuff your acid-wash jeans and tease up that
hair: It’s time to head back to the days of two-button
controllers and game paks. On Dec. 5, the best (8-)bits from the
NES Remix and NES Remix 2 games kick it portable style in
Ultimate NES Remix. Here’s the 4-1-1: The Nintendo 3DS game
features a fast-paced series of challenges from 16 of Nintendo’s
finest NES games like Super Mario Bros. 3, Metroid and Kid
Icarus. Have you ever wanted to use Princess Peach to rescue
Princess Peach? Collect coins with Samus? Or help Link from
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link battle a Hammer Bro? If so, then
this game is, like, totally for you! On the same day, NES Remix
Pack for Wii U launches in stores, combining previous
digital-only games NES Remix and NES Remix 2 in one convenient
physical package.
With Ultimate NES Remix, even fans who have played both NES
Remix and NES Remix 2 on Wii U will find new features and modes
to enjoy. Famicom Remix Mode offers challenges from the Japanese
version of NES Remix, featuring different sound effects and
backgrounds. Fans of speed runs and time trials will be amped to
try out Speed Mario Bros., a super-fast version of the original
Super Mario Bros. that speeds up Mario, enemies and even the
music!
Each challenge in Ultimate NES Remix has its own leaderboard,
meaning players with broadband Internet access can compare their
best times or top scores with other players in their regions.
And when you see a “replay button” on the Best Time leaderboard,
you can watch a replay to study the game play of some of the top
players in that challenge. In addition, a new random challenge
is available every day. These daily challenges encourage you to
regularly check in with the game, hone your skills and see how
you stack up against others on the online leaderboards. If you
have friends registered on your Nintendo 3DS system you can also
compare clear times or top scores. Challenges will change color
depending on how you do against your friends.
Ultimate NES Remix will be available in stores, or in the
Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS on Dec. 5 at a suggested retail
price of $29.99. Purchase the game and you will also receive a
rad Famicom theme from the Theme Shop on Nintendo 3DS while
supplies last. (If you purchase the game in stores you will find
the Famicom theme download code inside the game booklet. Those
who purchase the game in the Nintendo eShop will find the
download code for their free theme on their eShop receipt.)
Shoppers who want to pick up NES Remix Pack for Wii U can do so
exclusively in retail stores on Dec. 5 at a suggested retail
price of $29.99.
