NES Remix is a video game compilation for the Wii U, released in 2013 as a download-only title.[1][2] It features 16 classic NES games, including The Legend of Zelda, which are played as a series of miniature challenges. A sequel, NES Remix 2 was released in 2014, followed by a 2-in-1 retail release, NES Remix Pack, and a Nintendo 3DS version containing the "best of" both games, Ultimate NES Remix.
Overview
In NES Remix, players can choose from a variety of classic games for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Rather than playing them in their entirety, these games are given a curated set of Stages that can be selected from a main menu. Stages consist of one or more challenges that must be completed consecutively; these challenges are short excerpts of gameplay that can last from several seconds to several minutes, giving players a sampling of various moments and types of gameplay. Of the 16 games included in NES Remix, 12 become available to be played in this manner as they are unlocked. In addition, there are two sets of "Remix" Stages that present unique challenges, such as combining elements of two different games, adding new graphical effects, or creating scenarios that are not otherwise possible in the original games. A set of "Bonus" Stages features even more challenges, some of which include the four additional NES games that do not have their own sets of Stages.
After playing a single, introductory Remix Stage based on Super Mario Bros., six NES games become unlocked and available to play. Every Stage is given a time limit and/or a "Life" counter, which is the number of times a challenge can be failed before the player must restart or use a "continue". Upon completing a Stage, the player is graded from one Star to three Stars, or the best possible grade of three Stars with rainbow-colored outlines, based on the speed of completion and whether or not any continues were used. New games, as well as extra Remix or Bonus Stages, are unlocked by accumulating these Stars. The Legend of Zelda is the first game to unlock after the initial six, once 100 Stars have been collected.
The player can also collect Bits, which are another type of score-keeping. Unlike Stars, they can be earned even when a Stage is cleared repeatedly. Each Stage has a base number of Bits awarded, which is multiplied by the number of Stars earned (rainbow Stars count as four), as well as bonus amounts of Bits for first-time clears and "perfect" clears (no Life is lost). Setting a new completion-time record also nets 15 Bits. When certain milestone numbers of Bits are collected, a new Miiverse Stamp is unlocked.
Stages
The following Stages feature content from The Legend of Zelda. Note that "Life" refers to the number of chances given to complete the Stage, rather than Link's actual Life Gauge.
There is no Zelda content in the "Remix I" Stages.
The Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda and its first Stage are unlocked by collecting 100 Stars. There are 17 Stages for this game, with 53 challenges in total. Each subsequent Stage is unlocked by simply playing the Stage before it.

Miiverse Integration
Prior to the closure of Miiverse in November 2017, NES Remix featured optional integration with the service. When selecting a Stage on the game's menu, a post about that Stage from another Miiverse user (either text, or a black-and-white drawing) would be displayed on the right-hand side of the screen, along with that user's best completion time for the Stage, when applicable. By pressing the Right Control Stick, different posts could be shown. Tapping an icon in the upper-right corner of the post added a "Yeah!" (like), while a green speech-balloon icon in the menu's bottom-right corner allowed the player to write their own Miiverse post about that Stage.
NES Remix contains 100 Miiverse Stamps which can be used while making posts. Ten of them are available by default, while the other 90 are unlocked by reaching certain amounts of the total Bits collected by the player. Collected Stamps can be viewed by pressing the Y button on the game's menu.
