Much like its Wii U counterpart, LEGO Jurassic World for the 3DS has a lot of potential, especially when considering the source material, but fails to deliver on almost every front.- Nintendo Life

With no difficulty curve and only a single map filled with dark space, unless you're dying to shoot at stationary asteroids, you'll quickly find little reason to continue playing Asteroid Quarry.- Nintendo Life

Neon Battle is one of those games that you'll play once or twice and then forget about; aside from the potential couch multiplayer, there's really no reason to keep coming back.- Nintendo Life

The execution is frustrating, the music is monotonous and the feel of the game doesn't find the sweet spot.- Nintendo Life

The mechanics and the gameplay are solid but don't have enough longevity to make the game anything more than a passing amusement that'll only keep the average gamer entertained for a short period of time.- Nintendo Life

G.G Series VERTEX is a game that's just a bit too simple for its own good. While the gameplay is engaging and fun at first, its failure to expand in any meaningful way later on in the game makes this a one trick pony- Nintendo Life

If you're an RPG fan looking for a quietly charming tale to tuck into, you'll have a great time in Maiden Heaven.- Nintendo Life

You're probably getting a feeling we weren't especially impressed with Baila Latino, and you'd be correct. The horribly thought out UI, hard to follow dance instructions and uninspired gameplay modes unfortunately ruin the cheery atmosphere delivered by the upbeat soundtrack and surprisingly nice graphical presentation.- Nintendo Life

We'd very much suggest you consider picking this one up, it's worth a look for anybody interested in a budget price action platformer.- Nintendo Life

The Stonecutter is a depressing experience. It's one of the most scant and lifeless products on the Wii U eShop to date, a flimsy reinterpretation of an age-old tale that shoehorns in laughably negligible "gameplay" elements to adhere to the standards of the visual novel genre.- Nintendo Life

Quadcopter Pilot Challenge has a good set of ideas, but many of them are executed with realism that strips away the fun - rather like if Pilotwings opted for a simulation approach to make life too difficult.- Nintendo Life

For the first couple of worlds it's a simple, addictive little platformer with tight level design. Unfortunately, the game loses its way by not introducing enough new ideas to keep things fresh, and by relying too heavily on trial-and-error in the back half of the quest.- Nintendo Life

If you played and enjoyed Glory of Generals and are looking for more, this is exactly that - for everyone else, we'd recommend conscientious objection, or defection to Advance Wars' colourful camp.- Nintendo Life

Patience is a virtue, and those who have it in spades will likely find the outstanding stage design worth enduring some of the other frustrations.- Nintendo Life

Samurai Warriors' return to Nintendo platforms is a welcome one, even if it is a little flawed in places. The combat is as solid as ever, and fans will appreciate the effort and attention that's been put into the personalised story mode.- Nintendo Life

Overall, G.G Series GREAT WHIP ADVENTURE manages to provide a surprisingly solid action platformer that continues to deliver new thrills and challenges long after you'd expect it to have run out of ideas.- Nintendo Life

If you'd like to see footage of the Japanese countryside, do yourself a favour and look it up on Google Street View or YouTube. It's free, the picture quality will likely be better, and it's roughly as interactive.- Nintendo Life

When it comes to a game like Solitaire, a developer needs to go out of its way to justify why a gamer wouldn't just boot up their PC's free software or download a free phone app. And while Solitaire Dungeon Escape attempts to add some flavour with the "save the princess" setting and features simple and functional gameplay, its technical shortcomings are baffling and do enough to sour the whole experience.- Nintendo Life

If you fancy yourself a brutal challenge that hearkens back to gaming's days of yore, this is a one-way ticket to the 80's and 90's that won't cost you much more than a bad new wave CD.- Nintendo Life
