The ulti\u00admate retro package<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s one thing to trade off of nos\u00adtal\u00adgia. And we all know Nin\u00adten\u00addo does that often and well. What we don\u2019t often get to see is Nin\u00adten\u00addo using its his\u00adto\u00adry to change the way its games are played. Until now. That\u2019s where Ulti\u00admate NES<\/span> Remix comes in. The ques\u00adtion is, do you want to play these remixed games again and at what price?
\nRemix takes a few of your favorites NES<\/span> titles and adds dif\u00adfer\u00adent con\u00addi\u00adtions to them in an attempt to spice things up a bit. In Super Mario Bros., for instance, you have to reach the goal in a cer\u00adtain amount of time or defeat a cer\u00adtain num\u00adber of ene\u00admies with\u00adin a time lim\u00adit. That\u2019s the mun\u00addane stuff in the begin\u00adning. Lat\u00ader edicts get hard\u00ader the fur\u00adther down a game\u2019s list you go so as to pro\u00advide more of a chal\u00adlenge. Whether or not you enjoy these chal\u00adlenges depends sharply on whether or not you enjoy play\u00ading games you prob\u00ada\u00adbly already have played and want to see some\u00adthing dif\u00adfer\u00adent with\u00adin them.
\nWhile the chal\u00adlenges may be dif\u00adfer\u00adent, there isn\u2019t much else dif\u00adfer\u00adent about the games. The music and graph\u00adics from the 8\u2011bit era remain intact and about the only thing that\u2019s changed is the slick mod\u00adern pack\u00adag\u00ading of the Ulti\u00admate Remix itself and the addi\u00adtion of leader\u00adboards and cham\u00adpi\u00adonship mode. So, don\u2019t come into this expect\u00ading depth or some mag\u00adi\u00adcal upgrade to mod\u00adern day stan\u00addards of graphics.
\nIf you enjoy the days of yes\u00adter\u00adyear and can and will pay $30 for a com\u00adpi\u00adla\u00adtion chal\u00adlenge pack\u00adage, by all means shell out for Ulti\u00admate NES<\/span> Remix. The chal\u00adlenges are amus\u00ading for the most part, and there are a few extras that make play\u00ading through the mul\u00adti\u00adtude of games offered (16 in all) a real treat. But take it with a large grain of salt and look at it for what it is: A chance to drag the orig\u00adi\u00adnal NES<\/span> games out that you loved as a kid, more than like\u00adly, to get a piece of your now-adult wal\u00adlet. Ulti\u00admate\u00adly, this could have been a lot more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
