If you're looking for something within the genre, there are so many better modern and classic options already available on the 3DS.- Nintendo Life

Kung Fu FIGHT is a fun little title. It delivers diverse and often times humorous action alongside a handful of custom achievements.- Nintendo Life

It's clear from the get-go that Legend of Kay was a labour of love, and this shines through in this re-release; despite showing a few wrinkles here and there the game stands up surprisingly well by modern standards.- Nintendo Life

Come at this without expecting anything earth-shatteringly deep and there's some fun to be had here, albeit in small doses.- Nintendo Life

It's fine as a short diversion, but becomes wearying and repetitive when looking for more entertainment.- Nintendo Life

Ultimately, this game is one that we'd recommend, as you simply don't find many modern attempts on the classic-style of the JRPG genre that feel as well rounded as this. That being said, if you weren't a fan of games like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest back in the day, Dragon Fantasy definitely won't change your mind.- Nintendo Life

It may not quite reach the heights of the titles that clearly inspired it, but this is well worth a look for fans of the genre - especially at this bargain-basement price.- Nintendo Life

If you're able to get through the wonky nausea-inducing camera work, Tiny Galaxy does at least offer plenty of content.- Nintendo Life

We really wanted to love Canvaleon, but grinding for resources, one-hit deaths and some wonky design choices makes this an uneven experience. It's a fresh idea that needed a better execution, but could prove to be a hit with anyone who can look past its flaws.- Nintendo Life

While this game won't exactly revitalize the genre, couch co-op or competitive play for any real length of time, there's something satisfying about playing with a friend. Astral Breakers takes that knowledge and gives you its colourful little universe to fight in.- Nintendo Life

The simulation just isn't something that the average gamer is going to find worthwhile, especially with the high price tag at launch.- Nintendo Life

Both a wonderful upgrade to the original Etrian Odyssey 2 and an impressive improvement on Etrian Odyssey Untold, Untold 2: The Fafnir Knight is a dungeon-crawling delight.- Nintendo Life

All of its various elements just click together well, creating a solid game that will be hard to put down as you struggle your way to the deepest recesses of Isaac's basement.- Nintendo Life

We'd love to see Renegade Kid revisit this world at some point in the future, and wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who hasn't played the 3DS version already.- Nintendo Life

The visuals are a bit simple, and the story often feels rather tacked-on, but neither of those factors should do very much to deter anyone from enjoying what is otherwise a surprisingly fun time.- Nintendo Life

The pet-raising genre may be somewhat old now, but I Love My Dogs doesn't offer any new tricks.- Nintendo Life

The Quiet Collection possesses good-natured humour and a throwback charm that pays nice tribute to adventure games of yesterday.- Nintendo Life

It's a concept with narrow appeal by its very nature, so if you aren't already able to enjoy word searches, then this won't do much to convince you otherwise.- Nintendo Life

Fantasy Pirates is a fairly pleasant game – whilst it lasts. Clocking in at around two and a half hours to complete and bearing in mind that most of that time will be spent trying to finish the last level, it's hard to recommend this underwhelming shooter.- Nintendo Life

With its simple aspiration to be a digital instrument, Keytari succeeds at what it strives to do, but it's very hard to justify splashing out for an app that does so little.- Nintendo Life

It's a broken mess that feels downright unfinished, which is notable as it can't be finished with an unwinnable level in the mix.- Nintendo Life

If you're reliving your youth, you'll find this is one game where rose-tinted spectacles haven't pulled the wool over your eyes. It is as good as you remember. If you're coming at this fresh, we envy you; enjoy every second. Streets of Rage 2 is back with a vengeance and it's thoroughly deserving of your time. A true classic.- Nintendo Life

All in all, G.G Series THROW OUT is a disappointing game that struggles to maintain player interest for more than a few minutes.- Nintendo Life

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
