  NES Remix 2 is an improvement on a winning formula. It revived my love for a number of classics, and showed me precisely how and why they worked so well. There's life and depth to these titles, and that shines particularly well when they're so artfully and cleverly jumbled together.

  I enjoyed my time with NES Remix 2, but it’s ultimately a shallow experience. Nostalgia and challenge are all well and good, but the game doesn’t bring anything to the table that makes it more than a novelty experience. A stellar selection of games makes it a better download than the original, but you’re be better off replaying these classics in their true forms rather than experiencing them in tiny snippets.

  The remixes are by far the most interesting part, and if they started and ended with that concept, if this was five hours of these ten games being smashed together until all of the late 1980s NES catalog bled into a fever-dream of beep-booping "Metroid in Mario Land" insanity: That would be a great game. But it is not. It does not deliver on that promise.

  I concluded my NES Remix review with a plea for more Remix, saying that "Punch-Out!!, Kid Icarus and Metroid were cruelly ignored." Happily, NES Remix has returned and those three games are included in the lineup – but it turns out that better games don't necessarily make for better remixes.

  Since I had such luck getting what I asked for out of my last review, I’ll close with this: Nintendo should work with third-party publishers for NES Remix 3 so that we can mix in some Castlevania and Mega Man action and they need to hurry up with a SNES Remix. Shut up and take my money, Nintendo!

  The 16-bit era beckons, after all, and the prospect of a SNES Remix is positively mouthwatering.
