NES Remix 2
If you own the first NES Remix, then you’ll get a Championship Mode that is inspired by the Nintendo World Championships that happened in 1990.

I’d love to see Mega Man, Duck Tales, Final Fantasy, Contra, and Bionic Commando all get a twist on their gameplay. I can just vision Mad Dog shooting up Bowser in one of the challenges, the idea sounds great. The Championship Mode is also the only place where a leaderboard is used, which just makes it a bit of a kick in the teeth that they couldn’t go out of their way to do one for each challenge.

But if you weren't on board the Nintendo train back then (or simply not born yet), you might not fully appreciate what NES Remix 2 has to offer.
