NES Remix Walkthrough

Our 3 Star Rainbow Rank NES Remix walkthrough will guide you through the first to last of the 16 NES minigames with challenge strategy tips for this single player minigame collection on the Nintendo Wii U.

Are you an 8-bit boss? NES classics return… with a twist! Take on lightning-fast challenges based on some of the most popular games of all time in the new NES Remix game. Whether you grew up with games like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros., or you’re playing them for the first time, this is your chance to see what made them legends. 😀

Let’s start the NES Remix walkthrough with an introduction video!

* Remixed Stages: This isn’t a compilation?it’s a new take on more than a dozen games. See what happens when Link meets Donkey Kong and familiar levels are turned upside down or black and white. Earn Stars by doing well and you’ll open up new stages.
For example: Save Pauline from Donkey Kong with your hero, Link. In Excitebike get to the finish line in time using automatic turbo! Or in Baseball hit the vanishing fastball and get on base.

* NES Stages: Take the best parts from your favorite games and throw in some rapid-fire challenges for an unbeatable combo. You’ll get to test your skills with levels that get more difficult as you go along. Replay as often as you like to beat your own high score!
For example: Get 10 1-Ups in a row in Super Mario Bros.! Defeat Gohma with a single arrow in The Legend of Zelda. Or collect fruit in Clu Clu Land.

Please note that the game is suitable for all ages 3 and up, because it includes Mild Fantasy Violence.

Intro: Game Center CX Special NES Remix Episode

Welcome to the NES Remix walkthrough!

As an introduction we’ve got Game Center CX Episode NC21 “NES Remix Edition”.

Game Center CX AKA Retro Game Master is a popular Japanese TV show that has been on the air for 10 years now. In the show comedian Shinya Arino challenges himself to beat classic video games within one day, mostly popular NES games (called Famicom games in Japan). But since these old school NES games often prove themselves extremely difficult to master, this inevitably leads to an amusing test wits as Arino gets increasingly frustrated with them. In this episode he will have 3 little kids as his challengers in a “Game Showdown with Children”!

Thanks to GamingCX for adding English subtitles to the special NES Remix episode*:
