NES Remix 2 is a video game compilation for the Wii U, released in 2014 as a download-only title. It features 12 classic NES games, including Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, which are played as a series of miniature challenges. The sequel to 2013's NES Remix, it later received 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 2, 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 12 games included in NES Remix 2, 11 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 12th NES game, Ice Hockey, that does not have its own set of Stages.

After playing a single, introductory Remix Stage based on Super Mario Bros. 3, five 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 Adventure of Link is the fourth game to unlock after the initial five, once 110 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, and new to NES Remix 2 is a "Rainbow" bonus of 200 Bits for achieving the highest grade for the first time in a given Stage. When certain milestone numbers of Bits are collected, a new Miiverse Stamp is unlocked.

NES Remix 2 contains 100 Miiverse Stamps which can be used while making posts. Ten of them are available by default, while another 86 are unlocked by reaching certain amounts of the total Bits collected by the player, and the final four are unlocked by completing certain modes. Collected Stamps can be viewed by pressing the Y button on the game's menu.
