After spending time with NES Remix 2, I'm confident that its varied mix of quick challenges and its improved retro game catalog contribute to a much better experience. And there's no shame in admitting that Nintendo probably sees the success of these remix compilations as an opportunity to point potential customers toward their classic gaming catalog. Why else would Nintendo build in an eShop link? New generations of Nintendo fans can quickly purchase these retro releases on Virtual Console and have the necessary skills to embark on some vintage video game adventures.

Overall, NES Remix 2 is shaping up to be another delightful nostalgic trip for us older players, and a great way to learn how to play, and get interested in, these classic games for younger players. If you loved the original NES Remix, you will probably enjoy this as well. If you liked the concept of the first title, but weren't feeling the games that ended up being remixed, you should definitely consider getting the sequel. NES Remix 2 releases on the Wii U eShop on April 25 for $14.99 and, personally, I can't wait.
