Nintendo Has Cancelled NES Remix Contest Due To Exploit

Nintendo has taken steps to cancel the NES Remix content after an exploit was found in the game. The challenge asked Nintendo fans to set their fastest times in Remix I Stage 4 “Collect all the Coins”. However, the contest was cancelled after players soon found an exploit which allowed them to set faster times than they should have. Koichi Hayashida took to Miiverse to explain what had happened and why the competition has been cancelled

“Hello Everyone. Thank you very much for participating in this event. Unfortunately, we confirmed that there is a way to exploit the challenge to achieve a faster time. In the interest of being as fair as possible, we decided to terminate the event without recognizing the fastest time. We know that you dedicated a lot of time and effort towards achieving your fastest time possible. We sincerely apologize for this matter, particularly because the vast majority of people played fairly. We appreciate your understanding. Thank you..”

Thanks, Retrogaminglord

    1. I dont think it was in the Nintendo Direct it might of been a Nintendo twitter or something. I do know that it was posted by the developer in NES remix Community on miiVerse.

    1. He supposedly paused the game repeatedly. I tried this the first day I got the game but I didn’t achieve any faster times. Maybe he used the home button to pause but I’m pretty sure what he did was just pause repeatedly then he restarted and repeated this process multiple times until he messed with the timer.

    1. Any bug in the code can be fixed with a patch unless the way the code was originally written is the only way to achieve what you want in whatever game engine you are using.

  1. When I first heard about the competition I kinda figured somebody would find a way to exploit the game to their advantage.

    Never underestimate people that put their time and dedication into uncovering these things.

  4. Swapnote exploited: Cancelled., Pokebank Exploited: Cancelled, Contest exploited: Cancelled, Servers Overload: Christmas cancelled. Nintendo is so much funnnnn!!

    1. Did you joined icezeama clan? Stop crying for little things thief are even worst problems than a server overloads.

    2. Every server overloaded on that day except for xbox. Either because they have better servers or not as many users on that day. Steam, PSN, and Nintendo Network all went down for a little while. We know Steam was because they were giving away left 4 dead 2 for free for a limited time and everyone was downloading, and we know Nintendo was because of all the new wiiU’s updating for the first time plus pokemon bank.

    1. Yes calling people drones on internet drones that u don’t know is the only way to think. Troll a little bit harder, and you have never cheated ever in your life? While this kinda cheating is unforgivable, I was pissed about that MLB glitch for 1 million dollar prize, when it was reported he used a glitch to win, and no one did anything

      1. No, we have abysmal numbers here compared to Xbots and Sonyans…

        Those 2 fight a lot against each other while me and the remaining forces of our empire try to establish a significant stronghold again…

        Our power diminished around 2005…

  5. I dont know what is more sad, the fact that Nintendo must cancel something because of all the douches who ruin a good thing, or the fact that people are actually cheating in a 1 minute mini game,

    1. Cheaters are so useless and destroy the very foundation of the word fun…

      Even the Xbots are better than them to some degree…
