I don't see what 'more machine power' you'd need to have a bunch of NES games with whatever additions done to these remixes, for it to run on a 3DS.

When they started development they decided to go with Wii U, you know, back when they weren't fully sure what they were going to be doing and how much power it would need.
There's still a difference between "New 3DSゲーム" and "新しい3DSゲーム". I don't think there'll be much consumer confusion there.
That may be an entirely different game (I'd really like to know if it is).

Some of the challenges like the zooming out in mario bros one is all that comes to mind.

There was a Wii U package with NES Remix 1+2 in the video. I don't know what the 3DS would add/subtract...

Eh I'd still think the 3DS could do that.
Yeah. Don't know if I should want it or not, yet! :lol

Seems like the 3DS is a best of with 16 games out of the original 28. Considering the amount of filler in the first this could be a good thing. One way to get people to buy the Wii U version too.
Exactly!
That would make sense. I hope they offer some clarification, soon. If it's just a best of, I don't really care about getting it just for the online leaderboards. If it's new, I probably do.

But for $30 I'd rather just get NES Remix 1+2 to start with. I've said in the Nintendo download threads how poor the NOA press releases are (they stopped bothering to describe all games, even when all they had to do was copy and past what they wrote 5 years ago) but this almost seems like they are throwing things in the air to make people ignore New 3DS that they can't release this year and so we have press releases that are completely void of handy info (hence why we know nothing about this except 16 games and the US price)
If it was an Ivy the Kiwi Mini situation ($5 was lacking the games hard mode, i.e. half of the levels) I could see that more as good trial and a gateway to the full item.

I want this but WHAT IS IT?!? Is it new content?

Shame they didn't put a handheld twist on things with Game Boy Remix
Yeah, that was my thought too. Sounds like they're just recycling stuff from the Wii U games.
Faceball 2000 mini-snippets. Nintendo, please!
Agreed. I hope that still happens.

I don't see any reason to believe this is a straight port of 1+2, though it might share a few challenges. If you played the original NES Remix games on Wii U, you would know that there are in fact a good number of effects that could not be replicated on the 3DS.
Probably the analogy we should be looking for is the one between Pushmo/Pullblox and Pushmo/Pullblox World.

Oh, very good point. I'd be glad if this was a similar situation, as Pushmo World is ostensibly a completely different game with the same mechanics.
Well then :s
I wonder why the price increase.

$30 for that? Damn, they are really ripping the 3DS users off from the information we know so far.
Isn't there a NES Remix 1+2 coming at that price?

Yeah, and you can buy each title individually on the eShop for $15 a piece. So NES Remix 1 on Wii U is $15, while on 3DS it will be $30. This is assuming they didn't just take the games from NES Remix 1 and double the challenges for the Ultimate NES Remix.
One bit of confusion, though: The challenge mode is from NES Remix 2, and uses games from NES Remix 2 (And Super Mario Bros, although I guess that's technically there too in the form of Super Luigi Bros!). So either there's snippets of those games to use the same challenge mode, or it's a new challenge mode.
One thing strikes me as something that could justify the cost: Including some of the games in their full-game form. Nes Remix 1 generally had the lower-profile titles in it, so I imagine they're ones that aren't particularly setting the VC sales charts alight. The exception there is SMB, but on the other hand, SMB's been a freebie or unlockable a lot of times now already.

What the hell? If this was NES Remix 1+2 I'd buy on launch day... but only NES Remix 1 games for DOUBLE the price?
There's no way this can be right, especially with how brilliantly the Mario Kart 8 DLC is priced, for example. Nintendo has been on a roll this week! Why would they fuck up now? Sigh.

Hopefully this one is fun.
I agree. Hopefully there are completely different challenges for these games. Heck, even if all 16 full games were included I would kind of question $30 as the MSRP.

Seems like Nintendo posted the game's page
http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/ANkeQTdEHvb9X2HlGlfII2qNzONN5k5E
It actually seems to be a remix of both NES Remix games, including some titles from each game.
The games included seem to be Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Excitebike, Super Mario Bros. 3, Metroid, Zelda 2, Kid Icarus and Kirby's Adventure and if the championship mode is the same as in the Wii U ones, Dr. Mario.
Looking at the boxart, it seems Balloon Fight, Punch-Out!, Donkey Kong Jr. are also included.
Guessing Mario Bros., Wrecking Crew and Super Mario Bros. 2 will also be included but I can't tell due to the boxart being so tiny

Mystery solved then! Thank you, astrogamer! So, it's pretty much a greatest hits compilation of the first two games. Weird, but, good to not have to wonder at least.

Yep, it looks like it's a mixture of both NES Remix titles.
I already own both Wii U games digitally and was considering picking up the retail version for collection purposes but I think I'll pass and just buy this instead. Should make for a fun portable game.

EDIT: But how could they do it if they said they needed more power?

Edit: Missed edit.
They'll do something different. We will see how different that is or isn't in due course.

These games must have done pretty well to get a sequel/port.
Hopefully we see a SNES remix after a while.
That and I think they must be incredibly cheap to make. IndiesZero has 34 employees according to Wikipedia.
...and half the studio was developing FF Theatrhythm: Curtain Call at the same time.
Guess this is for 3DS owners who don't own a Wii U (i.e. a lot of people) to experience NES Remix, then. Good that they're not limiting the titles (series, hopefully?) exposure to the smaller Wii U audience. As a blind hope if this does decently, maybe a handheld-specific Remix may be coming down the pipe! *crosses fingers*

Hmm... I'm thinking I'll be okay with just purchasing the superior NES Remix 2 for half the price, yes?
