Whether you’re flipping your car through heavy traffic or cruising along the beachfront bumping Magical Sound Shower, 3D Out Run is a cool, chill, and infinitely replayable classic.

Proun+ is a smooth playing game with harsh challenges for whoever wants them!

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars is a decent game. While it is fun to plan your moves in the various puzzles, the game starts out way too slow and doesn't break any new ground.

Titan Attacks is a fun little title, even though the amount of content isn't anything amazing.

Despite some shortcomings, in all it's a great little package for anyone who loves to create, whether you're an animation beginner or a veteran who just wants to practice your tweening skills.

In the end, Rainbow Curse is a good game that provides plenty of content for both single players and a group of friends.

Paparazzi ultimately feels like a small, refined part of a larger game. It is fun, but in the same way that a throwaway local multiplayer mode in a larger single-player adventure is entertaining. In a sea of incredible local multiplayer games, Paparazzi is just a short-form, amusing blip on the radar.

KAMI is a fun little puzzler and gets a solid recommendation out of me.

If you haven't played Assault Horizon Legacy and you have a New 3DS, this is the version to get. The additions aren’t major, but this version is the definitive one, as long as you own a New 3DS.

But for what it is, Breezeblox is a fun little game and definitely worth a shot for anybody who likes special reasoning puzzles.

IronFall: Invasion is a solid game, but one with problems in its opening act. You will have to get used to the controls and toy around with the options to make it all work for you.

In the end, Sumico is novel and intriguing, but far more serious than one would expect.

Even with the occasionally crushing difficulty, it’s hard not to love 3D Fantasy Zone. It’s not only an interesting footnote in Sega history and a fantastic port, but a unique and charming shooter that still holds up today.

Midnight it a fun little puzzler and it will do the job for the people in search of one.

Even with the occasional bout of frustration, Blek is mostly a marvel in how it’s designed. The organic way that it unfolds is amazing. While the Wii U version might not be the ideal way to experience it, Blek is still something worth looking at, even if it’s just as a curiosity.

For newcomers, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is the ideal starting place, with more accessible combat than ever, a vastly improved single-player experience, and some endlessly gentle tutorials. For veterans, the game’s less difficult introduction may prove less enjoyable at the outset, but some extremely fresh evolutionary steps ensure that those feelings are fleeting at best.

This is the kind of game services like the eShop are built for. It has a simple concept and equally simple gameplay, but to someone who enjoys old-school high score-based game design it could eat up a lot of time.

Monster Combine TD has a lot of cool mechanics going for it, but what it lacks is balance.

Quell Memento, with it's unique story and presence along with solid gameplay, manages to achieve it's own identity in the Nintendo eShop market.

The game has sound ideas, but doesn't know how to back it up with a desirable journey.

Majora’s Mask was and still is a fresh departure from the Zelda norm. Majora’s Mask 3D improves greatly on a few of the original’s deficiencies, though some of the bold choices inherent to the game still have a negative effect on the experience.

Unless uWordsmith is updated to add more puzzles and possibly other content, I cannot recommend the game.

Gunman Clive 2 is a fantastic 2D platformer that improves upon the original in just about every single way.

Rock 'N Racing Off Road is quite a disappointing game. With just four real tracks and little space to fully take control, this game never really takes off.

All in all though, this game deserves at least a consideration!

Family Tennis SP could also have benefitted from some online interactivity and the minigames won't last you for long.

The stunted, load time-induced pace of Citizens of Earth is hard to tolerate at times, but the overall adventure, gameplay, and world make this RPG a worthwhile experience on 3DS.

The most recent to hit the eShop is Painting Workshop. While offering a wide variety of tools at your disposal, it also manages to be clunky in its menus and operations.

If you are even remotely interested in Sega and/or arcade history, or just wanting a quick and colorful action fix on your 3DS, you can’t go wrong with this affordable labor of love from Sega and M2.

If you can deal with repetitiveness and some really forgettable music, then perhaps you might want to look into this one.

After you learn the controls, this is a puzzle game worth spending some serious time with on your Wii U.

While the overt focus on co-op might make it less appealing to the solo gamer, it's still a worthy adventure to embark on even if you're all alone.

With over 50 levels to unlock, Blok Drop X Twisted Fusion is a game that will keep players busy for a while, not only because of the amount of levels, but the high learning curve as well.

If you can deal with the length and some repetitive sounds, you can have a good time with this weird little adventure.

Spy Chameleon is one of those games that never stops being novel and for the right reasons!

It can become pretty frustrating, and the lack of online level sharing makes the level editing mode a bit of a disappointment. But for those who want to play something casual with a bit of a challenge, Hazumi is a good title that fills in that need nicely.

This might be fun for a quick play every now and then, but otherwise Toss N Go is a game that exists, is perfectly acceptable for 30 minutes or so of play, and not much else.

With a simple presentation and very interesting controls, PUZZLEBOX setup knows how to stand out in the overly busy puzzle game market.

You will have a good time with friends though and it is worth playing if you always have a batch of people at hand.

Battleminer definitely falls short of a well-rounded game with some thin gameplay and trying controls dominating Survival mode. It definitely picks up the slack some in its other half, but your spare eShop credit might be better served to wait and see if a better 3DS Minecraft comes along.

A bite-sized Metroid-like experience, Xeodrifter is a fun, exploration-heavy adventure from start to finish.

The game isn't bad, far from it even, but the six month wait is a bitter pill to shallow. Not much has been added to make it truly different from other systems and the overall presentation could have been slightly better.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a hallmark series on Nintendo’s handheld, and if you missed it the first time around, this trilogy is a great way to dive in.

While it’s a great first step toward compelling use of the GamePad in a strategy title, the mechanics never really develop enough to fully realize it.

With more polish and a longer development cycle, Shattered Crystal could have been very enjoyable. Now it is just what it wants to be: An okayish tie-in to a new Sonic cartoon.

I'm not going to say you should run away from I've Got to Run: Complete Edition, but I wouldn't recommend running towards it either. In general, I feel that it is a below-average endless runner that can provide some entertainment in short bursts.

Overall, Pier Solar is just an average JRPG at best. Perhaps some of its novelty was lost due to it being a downloadable title rather than an actual, physical Sega Genesis cartridge. It’s really hard to recommend unless you’re absolutely starved for an RPG on the Wii U.

At the end of the day, Football Up Online is a half-baked product.

Despite these issues, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is an incredibly charming game.

I might even consider it the worst Sonic game I have ever played.

While it doesn't offer the zany game types or interesting visuals of Tetris DS, this is a better offering than Tetris Axis by far.

The online multiplayer isn’t perfect, but it’s light years beyond what was present in Brawl and comparable to the 3DS version. Even still, the easiest way to say it is like this: The Wii U release is the best version of Smash Bros. to date.

Tengami is a game that you need to experience. The lush environments, interesting gameplay and the clever uses of the pop-up book world deserve recognition. It is a short game, no doubt about that, but that grin on my face never faded for a moment.

If key elements from the Persona series had been included, this very well may have been a perfect game, but for old and new fans alike, Persona Q is still guaranteed to stand out as a unique and exciting game.

It's an incredible multiplayer game that takes a simple concept and transforms it into a deep, competitive experience.

Falling Skies: The Game is flawed. But I enjoyed it just the same.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are way better games than last year’s X/Y while also improving on the Game Boy Advance originals.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are way better games than last year’s X/Y while also improving on the Game Boy Advance originals.

In the end Shuttle Rush is a fun game, with some replay value due to online leaderboards. It breaks no boundaries in the platforming department, but manages to be entertaining enough that it is worth a look.

Flapp & Zegeta is the game nobody asked for. It tried to make Flappy Bird more complex, but it failed in every way possible.

But the core gameplay—puzzle-solving with clones—is distinctly enjoyable. In a way, it reminded me of the Clank puzzles in Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, but on a 2D plane. If that kind of puzzle-solving is up your ally, I’d give The Swapper a try.

Costume Quest 2 has a lot to like, especially with its fun gameplay and witty, clever story.

I didn’t have any problem with the gameplay overall, but in the end, it’s constant requirement to grind became tiresome, and the mundane and repetitive levels exemplified that. If you can muster through that, Castle Conqueror EX does have an addictive quality to it, but only if you know what you’re in for going in.

All-in-all Rock Zombie has many of the trappings of a great game. The core mechanics work, and all of Rock Zombie’s failings are the sort of things that could be fixed in future updates. For now this may not be the arcade experience you’re looking for but with a little work, it could be a welcome addition to anyone’s Wii U home screen.

Zombie Panic in Wonderland DX is a good game. While there are glaring faults with its difficulty, the game itself is super solid and well put together.

Cosmophony is not a perfect game, but a very entertaining one at the very least.

Ultimate NES Remix is a nifty collection for the Nintendo 3DS. It isn't the full featured package of your dreams, but the games they have chosen are quite playable and make for a great way to spend your time.

Ballpoint Universe: Infinite is certainly interesting, but it’s also extremely repetitious and kind of boring. The platforming falls flat, and even fans of the genre will find it hard to like the frustrating shoot ‘em up segments.

Lone Survivor feels like a very strong first draft of a game. The story is great. Unfortunately, the game does nothing to help you experience that story.

The Legend of the Dark Witch is a great choice for fans of classic action platformer games.

In the end, the success of Woah Dave comes from your drive to beat your own score, something I’ll be doing long into the winter months ahead.

This expanded mobile game shows off some hard work really well spent by Mobot Studios. It’s not the most innovative gaming experience out there, but the beautiful aesthetics and clever level designs really push the title to the top of its class in the eShop.

Stealth Inc. 2 delivers a full product that will leave any puzzle fan wanting more, and they can get it thanks to the long game and the downloadable created puzzles.

In the end, the only really bad thing I can say about Pyramids 2 is that it’s bland.

Tetrobot and Co. is an adorable puzzle game for the Wii U eShop.

It’s not for the weak at heart, as I failed many times along the way, but the overall presentation helps it become quite the immersive experience.

Visually speaking, COB looks good, and the pirate/nautical aesthetic is a nicer touch than most eShop titles, although it’s not anything noteworthy. Without much to offer beyond the core puzzle game experience--which gets tired quickly--there’s just not a lot of game here.

Turtle Tale is a brisk experience which features solid action platforming mechanics. However, the game’s lack of visual variety and charm feels like a melting pot of visual cliches making the complete package one that is easy to forget.

Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse is a must-play game. If you’ve enjoyed the previous Shantae games at all, or you just like well-designed platforming action games, this is something special.

You are better off finding the Angry Birds Trilogy somewhere on the cheap!

One of the best games to ever grace the Wii U. The sequel feels tighter, less obnoxious, and is a blast to play through. While the Wii U GamePad is not used in any significant way, and Tag Climax could have benefited from local co-op, this is the action-packed Bayonetta follow–up that I wanted.

The simple gameplay and strategy is nice, but when it has to be implemented in a game that requires the player to consistently fail, it’s not that fun.

Producing music is snappy and fun, and it becomes even crazier when you put those sequences into motion.

99Bullets is a neat distraction that fills an arcade itch. It won't last you forever, but thanks to the multiplayer and leaderboards, you will get more mileage out of it. The presentation is fine, but it never really changes, and the charm for its almost-retro look fades fast.

If having a party friendly version of Flappy Bird does not fill a need in your Wii U library, pass on Spikey Walls.

Trap Team is just barely a decent supplement to the home console version, but it's certainly not strong enough to stand alone.

Outside of the over-powered and integral nature of the new Trap Master figures, Trap Team is close to being the best Skylanders game yet.

It might not be for everyone, but if you’re hankering for a good old-fashioned dungeon crawler, it’s a Nintendo 3DS eShop game worth checking out.

While it feels a bit unfair at times, the true quality of the overall experience still shines through constantly.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS doesn't try to change the formula in what made Smash Bros. great, but it keeps adding to the existing formula and in that, creates new experiences that continue to make the game worth investing time in.

The original Bayonetta remains the crazy, unique action title from a few years ago. There are newly added controls and some Nintendo related costumes, but the same content is still here in full force.

Darts Up is straight up better on the Nintendo 3DS. While you can play Darts on the big screen, you will be mostly looking to the little screen anyway.

The second version of Disney Infinity has refined half of the experience into something even better than before.

KickBeat is a game I could’ve enjoyed a lot more if the soundtrack had more varying genres.

Hyrule Warriors wasn’t a game I expected to fall in love with, but thanks to its oodles of Zelda fan service and shockingly engrossing gameplay, upgrades, and modes, it turned into something very special that lives up to the Zelda legacy.

The main story may seem to end right as it starts getting good, but the jobs are worth staying around for, making Fantasy Life a lengthy and interesting simulation RPG.

Still, these are fairly minor quibbles. Cubemen 2 is a competent real-time strategy tower defense game. It’s not terribly exciting, but it is probably the best in the genre on Nintendo platforms.

Teslagrad may have been a long time coming on Wii U, but it was worth the wait.
