With a much larger collection of words and maybe a couple more ways to play, uWordsmith could be a very solid, brain-based party game. As it stands now, however, its lack of vocabulary is a telling blow that makes it hard to find the words to recommend it.- Nintendo Life

Silly, challenging and tightly-tuned, Electronic Super Joy: Groove City serves up the kind of moves that platforming diehards will likely eat up.- Nintendo Life

If you're going to play Space Lift Danger Panic!, there's a good chance that it's going to be for the plot and occasional returns to Survival Mode, but it's a hard sell for players looking for something with a little more depth. It's just too bad that more effort wasn't put into the general gameplay to give it a little variety.- Nintendo Life

Those looking for a more 'premium' tennis experience on the Wii U would probably be better off with Wii Sports Club: Tennis. However, Family Tennis SP certainly holds its own as cheaper, motion control-less alternative.- Nintendo Life

Whilst by no means a poor game, Penguins of Madagascar will give those playing a very mediocre experience.- Nintendo Life

While there is some fun to be had, a purchase is only recommended for creative players who can turn straw to gold - otherwise, stick with a portable version of Minecraft.- Nintendo Life

Whether you're looking for exploration or monster-rearing, there are far better options on the 3DS - for an eShop alternative, try The Denpa Men 3 - so we regretfully recommend leaving this one lost in space.- Nintendo Life

The story's rather lame, and the occasional presentational hiccup can be jarring, but these shouldn't deter players interested in the genre — anyone who enjoys card games, either online or physically, should at least give this one a spin.- Nintendo Life

It's a game designed to be played in short bursts and to that end it lacks narrative and mechanical depth, but its core strengths shine bright.- Nintendo Life

If you love solo card games this should be worth considering, just turn the volume down first.- Nintendo Life

In short bursts it's fine, and even enjoyable for a spot of casual gameplay, but if Cake Ninja wishes to truly impress there are some vital creative ingredients still missing from the recipe.- Nintendo Life

For what could easily be written off as a lackluster casual puzzle game, Puzzlebox Setup is as interesting as it is entertaining.- Nintendo Life

The levelling system is addictive and the aesthetic is charming enough to draw players in, but anyone looking for a substantial adventure will be severely disappointed.- Nintendo Life

Chariot is not for the faint of heart, it's a game that requires patience and a slightly stubborn nature to stick with, whether in co-op or single player.- Nintendo Life

It's difficult to review a title like Toon Tanks; it's a serviceable little game that doesn't pretend to offer anything special, and it's hard to fault Petite Games when the price is as low as it is, especially considering other heinously priced recent releases. But unless you really have a hankering for an over-simplistic, old-school, repetitive arcade-style game, Toon Tanks just doesn't stand out enough from the crowd in an increasingly busy market.- Nintendo Life

It's generally not worth your time, unless you really want a tower defence game on your 3DS regardless of the quality.- Nintendo Life

Underground is a roller coaster of a puzzle game that manages to bring something truly original to the Wii U eShop.- Nintendo Life

Spy Chameleon is a lot of fun and, despite some minor technical flaws, would make a great addition to any puzzle fan's eShop collection.- Nintendo Life

While it's a solid experience, the money-grabbing feel of how it was released mars the enjoyment and has forced our hand in scoring it a little lower than the original.- Nintendo Life

It may seem odd for a game to have a crossover before it's even released, but Twisted Fusion adds a nice twist of flavour to BLOK DROP's low-key yet functional gameplay.- Nintendo Life

If you're in the mood for some bargain-priced old-school fun, you could do a lot worse than 99Moves — but don't be surprised if you find yourself thinking up ways the game might have been improved as you play.- Nintendo Life

This is a must-have title for any fan of puzzle games, and given its bargain basement pricing you'd be mad not to get it even if you're not.- Nintendo Life

Pretty visuals help it, but the length really dulls the whole game's charm. If the promise of the story being continued is fulfilled, you may want to wait for that.- Nintendo Life

There's really nothing wrong with TOSS N GO as software. It's decently packaged and works perfectly well, but the tabletop game it portrays is arguably unserved by a digital translation.- Nintendo Life

It may not revolutionize the genre, and the graphics may seem a little dated, but this is a thoroughly enjoyable micro-adventure that offers a lot of bang for your buck.- Nintendo Life

Interface issues and an impressively generic presentation keep The Voice out of prime time, but if you're a big fan of the TV version - and especially if you've got friends who are too - there's a chance you'll have a great time, depending on what exactly you enjoy about the show.- Nintendo Life
