Super Mario Run represents a smart way to translate sidescrolling Mario gameplay to buttonless mobile devices. [Issue #25 – January/February 2017, p.22]- Nintendo Force Magazine

If you're looking to get the most enjoyment out of this title, it's best to play with family or invite a bunch of friends over – it's a solid collection for get-togethers, but lacking in the solo play department. [Issue #56 – November/December 2021, p. 74]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Natsume deserves our thanks for bringing the Bokujo Monogatari series to the West, but now it's XSEED's turn to shine – and indeed they have. [Issue #15; May/June 2015, p.75]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Being a free game (outside of DLC options), it's a very welcome distraction from the grief of losing Super Mario Bros. 35. [Issue #53 – July/August 2021, p. 20]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Smash pots, light torches, find secrets and open treasure chests, all in a procedurally built "rogue-lite" world that remakes itself after every era. [Issue #40 – July/August 2019, p. 27]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Ys IX is a great game and a worthy follow-up to VIII. I'd recommend playing VIII first, but if you like that one, play this! [Issue #55 – October 2021, p. 74]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Save the World's streamlined verb-free take on point-and-click design remains enjoyable to this day and makes the entire game's narrative easy to sit back and enjoy without getting stumped for hours. Remakes rarely highlight the strengths of a game this well! [Issue #58 – March/April 2022, p. 22]- Nintendo Force Magazine

I am confident in declaring Xenoverse 2 as the best Dragon Ball game in over a decade. [Issue #30 – November/December 2017, p. 73]- Nintendo Force Magazine

I've got to give credit to the incredible sprite art and wonderful animation of the characters, but don't let their cutesy appearance fool you: Cursed to Golf is a truly punishing experience that isn't well suited for kids who might otherwise be drawn in by its style. Hit these links only if you're a dedicated golfer who's ready to tap into the fullest extent of your patience. [Issue #62 – November/December 2022, p. 27]- Nintendo Force Magazine

The Mummy Demastered isn't a bad game, but does stand apart from its progenitors in the genre in ways both interesting and annoying. [Issue #31 – January/February 2018, p. 22M]- Nintendo Force Magazine

It is pure joy. Truly – I'm hard- pressed to recall any other games I've ever played that are so full of delight and whimsy! If you ever tried to use your imagination to bring the illustrations of any children's book to life when you were younger, that's what this is. They did it. It's static, still, two-dimensional crowd scenes so brilliantly awakened with activity that it's honestly amazing. [Issue #55 – October 2021, p. 27]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Playtonic's decision to hew so closely to '90s platformer conventions works both in Yooka-Laylee's favor and to its detriment. [Issue #32 – March/April 2018, p. 17]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Blek isn't for everyone, and I'm sure it will divide some Wii U owners. But if you approach the game with the right attitude – and accept the game's minimalistic approach to game design – then you might find it to be one of the best puzzle games available in the Wii U eShop.

Alwa's Awakening is perhaps a bit more of a throwback to the NES era than it should have been. But it's still quite charming! [Issue #40 – July/August 2019, p. 25]- Nintendo Force Magazine
