Unfortunately, for players wanting to replay the entire game, this isn't the way to do it. Only the climatic moments of the games are available to relive, which has caused some strife among gamers hoping to pick up some of their childhood favorites. Here's a breakdown of every game that is included within the game:

  • Super Mario Bros. 1
  • Super Mario Bros. 2
  • Super Mario Bros. 2: The Lost Levels
  • Super Mario Bros. 3
  • The Legend of Zelda
  • Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (AKA The Legend of Zelda 2)
  • Metroid
  • Kid Icarus
  • Donkey Kong
  • Balloon Fight
  • Excitebike
  • Ice Climber
  • Kirby's Adventure

The entire versions of these games are not included in the game. Instead, some of the most vital moments in these games are available for players to relive. If you're wanting to see an entire remake or port of these games, this is not it. They are pretty authentic to the original source, but they do not offer the entire game. Here's a breakdown of what the game does.
