NES Remix director open to future entries with SNES/Game Boy/GBA titles represented
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Thus far, there have been two NES Remix games. Both, obviously, only include titles from the NES era.
But how about something like SNES Remix? Or GBA Remix? This is actually something that director Koichi Hayashida is open to.
Hayashida told IGN in a recent interview:
“Well personally I’m a fan of those games, and I like them a lot. If there’s a big enough outpouring of support for these titles, it’s something I’d like to take a look at.”
“Well, personally, I have a large desire to explore that very idea (Super Nintendo/Game Boy Advance in future Remix games). But it really harkens back to the answer I just gave. Does the marketplace want it or need it?”
“If we get a big enough cry for that, with a lot of people saying, ‘Hey, we’d love to see more of these perhaps for the SNES, Game Boy or Game Boy Advance,’ then it would be something we can take a look at.”

Director explains why the NES Remix games aren’t on 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 22 Comments
Both NES Remix games are on Wii U, and only Wii U. They aren’t available on 3DS despite the fact that many of the classes releases represented are available on both of Nintendo platforms.
So why are the NES Remix titles on Wii U only and not 3DS? Director Koichi Hayashida explained to IGN:
“One of the easiest ways to answer that is to say, ‘I was working on 3D World, which was developed on Wii U. So I was already familiar with the system’s architecture and developing for that platform lent itself to the early stages of the project. But, if you step into the shadows a bit more, in order to accomplish what we wanted with NES Remix, and get the effect we wanted out of it and the value that we wanted it to have, we needed some more machine power.”
“I think the Wii U offered that up for us pretty easily, and it just would have been more difficult to do it for the 3DS. I think that’s really the answer. It’s just that the Wii U had the machine power we were looking for in order for us to build the software we envisioned from the get go.’
