A fantastic addition to the 3DS library with a well polished gameplay experience that doesn’t feel ‘dumbed down’ or like a mobile game. Clever level design, nice visuals, and the added mech-suit really make Planet Robobot stand out as a Kirby title, and is one of his most enjoyable entries to date. If you enjoy classic Kirby games and are looking for a game with some real value, Kirby: Planet Robobot should be on your radar.- Nintendo Enthusiast

Overall, Pocket Card Jockey is a surprisingly fun title that is definitely worth picking up if you’re a fan of either solitaire or horse races.- Nintendo Enthusiast

Pokemon Rumble World isn’t necessarily a bad game, but it’s not of the quality I would expect from Nintendo.- Nintendo Enthusiast

Paranautical Activity isn’t a bad game, it is just is very flawed. Sadists and FPS fans looking for something quirky and somewhat enjoyable might get a little amusement out of the game, but it’s hard to recommend it with these glaring issues for most gamers.- Nintendo Enthusiast

While the ‘shoot-em-up’ genre isn’t new, Shutshimi has managed to take an age-old formula and make it its own.- Nintendo Enthusiast

With beautifully done 3D effects, a solid selection of games, and a myriad of options for those games, SEGA 3D Classics Collection is a very solid purchase for fans of the classic SEGA arcade era.- Nintendo Enthusiast

I loved the experience Star Fox Zero provided. I felt my skills improve every time I ran a new mission and I still get cravings to just go back into the game for the feeling it offers of flying and shooting down enemies. It’s extremely disappointing that there isn’t more content to offer above its 20 levels as the Gameplay is incredibly fun for those who take the time to master it. I truly believe this could have been regarded as one of the Wii Us must-have titles, but unfortunately, the limited content and unintuitive controls hold the game back from its potential.- Nintendo Enthusiast

Either way though, no matter if you played the original, if you want a beautiful, exciting, and well designed modern take on classic JRPGs, you will feel right at home with Bravely Second: End Layer.- Nintendo Enthusiast

All in all, Replay: VHS Is Not Dead is a brilliant game. It may not have particularly compelling visuals, music, or stories, but the gameplay is just superb. If you’ve got puzzle-platformer on the brain, Replay: VHS Is Not Dead is for you.- Nintendo Enthusiast

The Bridge is without doubt a brilliant idea that features clever puzzles and beautiful artwork. It is without doubt a great addition to the Wii U library, and a must have for puzzle lovers – though it may be quite frustrating for those not experienced in the genre.- Nintendo Enthusiast

Overall, Infinity Runner isn’t a bad game, and it can certainly be an enjoyable experience especially if you are a fan of the genre.- Nintendo Enthusiast

Project X Zone 2 does a great job improving on almost every element from the previous game. The problem is that they also made the game easier; this removed any strategy needed, and so the experience has become rather dull. It is admirable that they made so many improvements, but with the total lack of challenge, it was all for naught.- Nintendo Enthusiast

Steel Rivals was a game that could have been a decent little fighter similar to Soul Calibur, but it is an obviously very rushed and incomplete fighting game that should be avoided by even the most hardcore fighting fans.- Nintendo Enthusiast

Alphadia is a game that is faithful in its homage to JRPGs of yore, yet cannot quite match them in its execution.- Nintendo Enthusiast

Hyrule Warriors Legends does something a lot of games can’t do: take a console version and improve upon it. Loss of graphical fidelity aside, Legends breathes new life into Hyrule Warriors and offers up a fantastic and deep handheld experience that will have you up at the wee hours of the night saying “just one more battle” until the sun comes up.- Nintendo Enthusiast

Nothing about the game is really satisfying, nothing about the game stands out, and poor and lazy design choices make it feel much more like a cash-grab than a full fledged experience.- Nintendo Enthusiast

For all my grumbling and complaining, I hesitate to be too hard on LEGO Avengers 3DS. Even with its problems, it is an awesome idea that does quite a bit right, and a TON of people will enjoy it.- Nintendo Enthusiast

I find it amazing that everything turned out so right on the first try; true, there are a few issues, but that doesn’t change the fact that Pokkén Tournament is pretty much the Pokémon that we always wanted.- Nintendo Enthusiast

The puzzle element is more tedious than mentally stimulating, and the platforming ranges from average to horrendous.- Nintendo Enthusiast

It’s not an epic RPG adventure, but more something lighthearted akin to the Fantasy Life on the 3DS.- Nintendo Enthusiast

Chasing Dead had promise, but fails on every single basic level of game design and playability. I honestly do hope the team is able to salvage this game in the future with updates, because I think if the performance of the game was at a decent level it could be a fun game. As it stands, this is the worst title I’ve played in 2016, and should be avoided at all costs.- Nintendo Enthusiast

Twilight Princess HD is yet another must-have for the Wii U library. Considering this game is one of my Top 5 favorite Zelda games, the HD treatment is a true treat to behold.- Nintendo Enthusiast

I appreciated the very dark nature of the story. Usually, when playing through games with moral choices I usually choose the options that are “good.” The story is actually pretty hard to swallow in Conquest. The game has no problem killing off good characters, and on multiple occasions I was devastated to see the way that the story would play out.- Nintendo Enthusiast

While I wish the story had more twists and that the main character had more depth, Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright is fantastic package with a lot to offer.- Nintendo Enthusiast

It’s short, the game doesn’t give you feedback, and is incredibly basic, but the gameplay was fun—even if I had no idea what I was doing half the time.- Nintendo Enthusiast

All things considered, Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is a fine addition to the Wii U eShop lineup. It’s one of the more polished titles on the service, and has a good length and value to it.- Nintendo Enthusiast

All in all, Outside the Realm is not great. At just fifty cents at launch, it may be worth a playthrough if you want something mindless to play for thirty minutes.- Nintendo Enthusiast
