NES Remix

NES Remix is a Wii U compilation that remixes classic NES titles into bite-sized challenges and microgames. Released in December 2013, the game deconstructs Nintendo's arcade and console catalog, asking players to complete familiar scenarios with unusual twists and constraints.

The game has drawn attention recently for an unusual design choice: Nintendo implemented what's been described as an "anti-brother romance failsafe" to prevent Mario and Luigi from getting too close together during certain sequences. The restriction underscores the game's tongue-in-cheek approach to its source material, adding an unexpected layer of Nintendo's particular brand of humor to the remix concept.
