Because it came out way earlier, before that was added into Ultimate, which is basically a totally different package. Don't let the simultaneous US release fool you. NES remix Pack is a localized version of Famicom Remix 1+2 which came out in April, Ultimate NES Remix is a new thing, hence the new added features.
What could one possibly spoil about this? lol
In addition to what TheMoon wrote above, I think the Wii U version does have leaderboards for the Championship Challenge, although I believe those reset weekly (I'm assuming the 3DS leaderboards may do the same?).

I feel with NES remix they wanted it to be more of a social thing of "look at my high score" (improved in 2 with replays) via Miiverse rather than "Ugh I'm 8679, I hate voltronx563121 for being 8678).
The heavy emphasis on Miiverse stamp earning reinforces this.

Oh yes. Sorry. Thank you!
Started playing NES Remix Pack for the Wii U last night. The packaging and disc art are amazing but I can't say that I like the game itself. It really sucks the joy out of playing these old NES games and just boils them down to boring, laborous mini-tasks. Granted I've only done the SMB1 stuff so far but I'm pretty bummed overall.
Dang. Was hoping for some bonuses on the disc version

Cool cover artwork ;D

Are they going to add more/removed games to the 3DS version as DLC? There's an eshop icon in the main menu. Has the Legend of Zelda guy telling you to go to the eshop which is kind of cute.
If it's like the Wii U version, that icon is there so you can easily go to the eShop to buy the full versions of games included in NES Remix.

The eShop link is just to buy VC versions of the game, sorry.
It kind of makes the games feel like an advertisement, really. It is a shame the conditional discount couldn't have been permanent (here in Europe they were offering 20%-50% off VC versions if you owned NES Remix for a few weeks some months back...sadly it was Wii U VC).
Edit: Greninja'd...but a long shot.

Wii Sports Club digital saves will work with the disc version; I just tried it out last night. The NES Remix Pack is treated as a separate game and won't transfer your Remix 1 & 2 saves though unfortunately.

They're not going to add anything.

the wii u disc is just a physical version of both downloads. as the name suggests.
sweet! what's the consensus on the better half? 1?
That's an awesome disc.
That's some well-done artwork.

I've had the 3DS version for a while and honestly, I'm not crazy about it. The remix challenges are fun but honestly a little samey, and the whole game's segmented nature destroys the flow of the classics. Some of them are over before you get the slightest taste of the game, like Kid Icarus.
Additionally, it's a pretty quick game. Granted, I haven't 3-starred/Rainbow-starred all the levels yet, but I don't really want to. I don't feel compelled to go back.
Just my opinion though. Each to their own.

Some say the games itself in 2 are better but the remix nature of the game makes the obscure shit in 1 you'd never play otherwise be a more fun game than 2.
So, both are awesome lol.
I totally felt the same way until I started competing against some of the scores I was seeing in the Miiverse. Then I got totally addicted, and was posting my times and artwork quite a bit. NES Remix 2 became one of my favorites because of that, and I even went back and rainbow starred everything in NES Remix 1 because I got into such a rhythm with the series.
I'm not going to double-dip on this, but I hope it opens up the series to a lot of new players. I would love for them to do SNES Remix next!
Alright, that disc & boxart combo is actually rather cool.
Good amount of people will say 2 since while there's less games/challenges, it mostly has better games and there's more actual "remix" challenges.
I had a similar experience, though I already liked the games. Being able to see replays made me want to replicate what they did & get all rainbow stars. Actually being able to see how others did can make a game more fun because it adds to the competitiveness of getting quick times. And this is coming from someone who usually doesn't care about leaderboards.
NSMBU and SM3DW saves are shared, I can't say for sure about these games.
Edit: beaten

The combo disc for NSMBU+NSLU doesn't work with the save data for either of the individual games.
I just finished the main game. Every single Rainbow Star except for that ridiculous 40+ Mario marathon at the very end.
Unlocked Famicom Remix and it's basically a New Game+ type thing. You start back with zero stars and the Japanese versions of what looks like all the games. Kinda stared at my screen and said, "Noooope ... I'm done!" and shut the system down.

But that's easily the best part of the game! I was so let down that there wasn't anything like that in the second game.

try watching the replays.
I got the Wii U NES Remix Pack day 1 but didn't start playing it until a few days ago. Since I don't do digital games I didn't even read up on these game much when they were first released, so this is like a brand new game to me.
This stuff is great. I just need to go through the Bonus section on the first one and then I can move on to NES Remix 2. I won't move on until I get 3 stars on everything but I don't think I'll try for the rainbows. Some games are just frustrating as fuck, particularly Balloon Fight. Also, I had Excitebike as a kid and I never knew that the arrows cool down your turbo meter until I played this game. Mind blown.

I saw this on Gamestop's website yesterday. I probably going to get this for the 3DS. I have wanted to play Remix for a while, but don't have a Wii U yet.
The 9 Volt section is usually my favorite part of Warioware games. I wish other companies would make this type of game. The only other that I can think of is Atari's Hot Pixel. Sega, Konami, Capcom, Activision, and Midway could all do really awesome games in this style.

Goddamnit they actually made a physical copy for this?!?!?!! So the only difference is the 3ds version has the sped up Mario Bros? Without that the wii u version has everything else? Dunno if that's reason enough to pick up the 3DS version although playing this on the go would seem really fun.
I thought I saw Rainbow Star times in an IGN or GaneFAQs guide, but I'm on mobile so I don't have a link handy, sorry.

If you had carefully read the details in the OP, you'd have seen that UNES RMX also has Famicom Remix included.

Ah I see... that's crazy. I'll probably pick up both then.
Is there a list somewhere of how the FCR games are different?

I believe the music is from the Famicom Disk System for certain games and heard Famicom Remix had certain different challenges than NES Remix but I haven't found a Youtube video showing the differences other than the music. Might just watch a longplay of Famicom Remix and look for differences.

Still haven't purchased a version... I'm leaning the 3DS. It's cheaper and it'd be nicer to have on the go.

Is the Wii u version on the eshop?
Yes but they're available separately as NES Remix and NES Remix 2. They're each $15.

The games started on the eShop so.... obviously they're still there^^

It has not been announced so considering that, the current status is still "no."
