I have this game but I'm already almost all the way through it. It's a great game but the replay value is low since there's so many games within it. Starting all the way over to get the play time just doesn't sound fun.

I highly recommend this game, especially if you grew up playing old NES classics.

You might be able to salvage your time so far, I think the Wii U keeps track of how long you've played a game on the Home menu :D

You're right! I forgot all about that. It says I'm up to 12 hours of play on it. I've had the game for about a year now. I got through the majority of the game. All that's left are many of the remix and bonus stages and some of the lesser known games. I'll see if I can clear the rest of the mini games by the time this expires.

I played it for about an hour tonight and it's fun, but MAN, I'm soooo bad at the original Mario Bros. I can't seem to adjust to the fact that you can't really control your jump. Once you commit, that's it. So far I've finished all Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. levels, at least 1-3 of the other games, and 10 of the remix levels. My understanding is that you start the game with about half of the content, so I have a long way to go :P We'll see if I can stick with this or if I switch over to Kirby hehe

Yeah there is a TON of extras you unlock as you complete the levels. You can also try and collect 3 stars on every level, which is tough. I've done it on a few of the games. Yeah Mario Bros is tough. I used to have that Mario Bros. game on the Atari so I had a little advantage on understanding that game from the start.

I'm to the point where I can say I've finished the game. Especially since I have seen a credit like scroll screen. I'm trying to see if I can collect any more stars so that I can unlock all of the bonus stages. I have four more bonus stages to go but it looks like I need to collect all of the stars in order to get them all unlocked which is pretty tough to do. I'll keep working on it but I'm not feeling too confident on getting everything unlocked. Once I finally give up I'll post my final stats (# stars collected, #stamps collected, stages I fully completed, etc.)

I haven't had much time to play games here lately, so I probably won't be able to finish this one :( To make matters even worse, Grim Dawn is finally finished :P

After playing a total of 16 hours and 42 minutes I'm giving up on this one. It was a blast but I just can't fully completionate this one. Here's my final stats:

Collected 561 of what appears to be 600 total stars.
Collected 168 Rainbow Stars
Collected 59,281 bits
Collected 94 of 100 stamps
Collected at least 1 star in every regular stage, including the Remix 1 and Remix 2 stages.
Collected at least 1 star in 22 of the 25 Bonus stages. (In order to unlock the rest of the bonus stages I have to collect all of the stars of all of the other stages...way too hard)
Collected all the stars in the following stages: Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Mario Bros., Pin Ball, Excitebike, Ice Climber, Wrecking Crew, Super Mario Bros
Collected all Rainbow Stars in Donkey Kong Jr.

I learned that I really hate the Ice Climbers game and the Clu Clu Land game is super confusing - it hurt my brain the most.

I estimate it would take several more hours to get every single star and probably 20 more trying to get all rainbow stars. I don't have the patience for that!

Wow, those are some pretty nice stats!! I'm a little intimidated by the game now that I know there are 600 stars and :P Congrats on getting all of the stars for the Mario Bros. levels, there's NO WAY I'm gonna do that haha. I'll be lucky to get 1 star for each level...

I don't have a Wii U but if I did this would be at the top of my buy list. Seems like a fun game.
