Wii U games NES Remix and NES Remix 2 are getting a combined physical release as the NES Remix Pack, Nintendo has announced.

The two titles, currently only available as downloads from the Wii U eShop, contain a mash-up of Nintendo's retro titles, transforming each into quick-fire challenges.

Nintendo classics in the medley include the original Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Punch-Out!!
