Japan is getting a retail release of NES Remix Vol. 1 & 2

Chalk this up to another great thing that Japan is getting in terms of the Wii U. The recently announced NES Remix 2 will be combined with NES Remix 1 into a neat boxed set with the art you see above. Of course, the bundle is titled Famicom Remix 1+2, since that was the name of the NES in Japan. This bundle is scheduled to launch on April 24, 2014.

If you’re curious about what kind of games are contained in NES Remix 2, you can check out the details revealed during last week’s Nintendo Direct over here. It’s arguably going to be more popular than NES Remix 1 simply because it contains more titles people will instantly recognize, as well as a full version of Super Luigi Bros. that was introduced in the original NES Remix last year.

It’s doubtful this compilation will see a Western release, which is a shame.
