    While the Mario version is inferior, it’s still a nice bonus game to have with you on the go.

    Fans of retro RPGs and Action-RPGs will find enjoyment here, but just don’t expect it to last very long.

    All in all, Pazaru is a great puzzle game. It takes just a few simple elements and builds on them for something that combines strategy and reflexes excellently, and even gives the option to make your own levels.

    Those who want a top down bullet-hell shooter with some gorgeous retro graphics, perfect controls, lots of options and upgrades, fun tracks, and impressive difficulty will find that all here in spades.

    I have to say Bubble Gum Popper offers a good idea in an overused genre, is cheap, and technically works but the execution make the game hard to recommend.

    Tilelicious: Delicious Tiles has solid gameplay and a simple presentation, but some design flaws like the luck factor and the lack of replay value breaks the appealing aspect of the game.

    Cube Creator 3D might not be the grand Minecraft experience that everyone was anticipating, but it is a very solid game in it’s own right.

    It’s impossible not to be impressed with the second round of DLC: in every way, it either lives up to or even surpasses even the original game, gives tons of content, and does so all while expanding the possibilities of Mario Kart for the future.

    It is a fun, relaxing experience – just remember that it is anything but perfect.

    It’s not for the hardcore gamer, but Word Search by POWGI does what it sets out to do and does it mostly well, albeit at a bit of a high price.

    For two dollars, those who want a couple hours of competent platforming should definitely consider picking up Runny Egg.

    It’s not a bad game, but the overall package could be a lot better.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    While it isn’t a platforming masterpiece, it is quite good and feels like a complete game instead of a cash-in.

    If you survive Iron Combat’s difficulty and manage master the controls, you will have a great game with a fast-paced game and a lot of action for a good price. If you don’t, you will have a frustrating game that you will get stuck forever.

    Super Destronaut is a good addition to the Wii U eShop. This retro shooter is fun for a couple of hours and the cost is cheap. But if your intention is to beat other players worldwide, this may not be your game.

    Affordable Space Adventures is an indie title with a $20 price tag, and that may make some would-be purchasers leery of the investment. I can say with full confidence that the price tag is not only justified, but might even be too low.

    psyscrolr is a game that I feel has potential, but it’s not quite ready for the big time yet.

    Don’t Touch Anything Red presents a nice idea but it has a terrible execution, and despite of the cheap price, the game is not worth it.

    BOXBOY! is a solid puzzle game with touches of platforming mixed in that puzzle game fans should check out. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel of the genre or leave a lasting impression, but it’s a fun way to tease your brain and enjoy some clever puzzle designs.

    At its core, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D is just as good as the original release. Those that missed out on the chance to play through the Wii version will love the incredible world of Xenoblade, the masterfully told story, and the engaging combat system.

    With a progressing challenge, KAMI is a good puzzle relaxing game without becoming easy and repetitive. With a simple artistic design, it manages to catch the player’s attention and the quantity of levels included makes the asking price worth it.

    Again, I firmly believe that those who like clever, challenging puzzle games will eat this up – this type of game has even been proven to help make people smarter – and if you’re one of those who really wants the game on their Wii U, go for it.

    All in all, Fossil Fighters: Frontier surprised me. It’s not a hard game, it’s not a memorable game, but it’s very solid.

    In the end, Elliot Quest is nowhere near perfect and falls short of the classics it’s inspired from. However, it would be unfair to call it a bad game. It’s more a mixed bag; you’re either going to enjoy the game, or be annoyed with it.

    Adventure Bar Story is a great option for RPG fans, mostly considering you can play it on the go and play in short bursts and enjoy it.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    At times, it almost feels like the game was originally designed for the Wii with all the WiiMote use in the game, especially when at times it feels very unnecessary. The local multiplayer is still solid, but even then, questionable design choices in controllers you can use hinder the experience.

    If you enjoyed Trine 2: The Director’s Cut, you’re going to enjoy Trine: Enchanted Edition. It has the same kind of stunning views, incredible atmosphere, and clever puzzles.

    Code Name Steam is no Fire Emblem; it lacks the character development, RPG elements, and difficulty variation. Code Name Steam is a good game though, one which can be nurtured into a masterpiece when its sequel is inevitably released.

    The game can be a bit frustrating at times due to some cheaply placed obstacles, and the graphics leave a bit to be desired, but as a whole, the game is a solid purchase for 3DS owners.
    • 72 Metascore

    It can be quite hard but easily addictive especially when you try aiming for a high score that is posted for all to see. Some of the drawbacks are repetitive, generic enemies and the use of the touch pad to jump while trying to move about is a bit awkward but if you stick with just all buttons you will be fine.
