    Twilight Princess HD is a great game and should be played if you haven't on the Wii or GameCube. To those that already played it, this HD release offers few additions.

    Singular gameplay, original art style, very well designed levels, amiibo, multiplayer, memorable soundtrack and a huge number of collectables. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a must.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Although Persona Q doesn't satisfy those willing to play a complete Persona or Etrian Odyssey, the title is good enough to be a unique experience which can please those who like a good story and characters and those who like to explore and battle.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score

    A little patience unveils an interesting title and one that is not a Mega Man X with another skin. With a little more polish, Azure Striker Gunvolt could even be worthy of this comparison.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Hyrule Warriors is, without doubt, extremely fun, surprisingly complex and in general one of the best and prettiest games on the Wii U.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Even the small issues of Curtain Call will not manage to take it away from the spot of the best rhythm game on the system.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a love letter to fans. Everything the game tried to do, and did, was to please those that experienced at least one Professor Layton and one Phoenix Wright, and managed to enjoy the stay in these worlds. The world here may be different, but it's still familiar.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Even without offering a reason for veteran players to return, SteamWorld Dig for Wii U is a great opportunity for those that still haven't experienced this good game from Image & Form.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Shut the Box delivers something even simpler than the other games by RCMADIAX, and although this may be the one with the best game mechanic, its content is so shallow that, instead of delivering good fun, the game is just a distraction.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The biggest drawback of Master Reboot is its technical issues. If it weren't for those, it'd be a much easier game to recommend. Still, players with more patience may find here, at least, an interesting experience.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    A beautiful and fun racing game, which uses the possibilities offered by its host platform to emphasize and renew the truly universal appeal of the series.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    It's less than what you would expect from a eShop game, but its content is completely justified by its extremely low price tag.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Kirby Triple Deluxe is an improvement of the series' design, and also of other series' elements.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Shovel Knight is a great example of the importance of Kickstarter. The result here is a satisfying, accessible, quality product which not only rivals but also exceeds many superproductions from other companies, notably bigger, that not always reach this level of inspiration.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Moon was a different project on the DS. It is an extremely atmospheric game and, even if it's short, can satiate the will of 3DS owners for games of the genre. The biggest problem is the episodic nature of the game -- the relationship between price and content will get better as the future episodes are released, but, at this point, the value of the game doesn't meet the expectations.
    • 71 Metascore

    If you're fan of Animal Crossing, even if you're not in love with Disney characters, you will find a great game.

    Although it ends a little quickly because of the short duration of each level, Cube Tactics is a fun and challenging game.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Everything in Tropical Freeze was made with extreme care and attention. From the landscapes and enemies to the music and level design. Each island has its own ecosystem so filled with details and different things to do that, as soon as one level is over, the question of what will Retro do next always looms around, and the developer always surprises.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fans of sports games or RPGs may hate the game and its weird control system, whilst those who are away from both genres may find something different and satisfying. Those who endure the first three hours and get used to the controls will find a long campaign, with up to 20 hours of gameplay. When you get there, though, you will be tired of that much soccer and of the absurd that will carry you until the final match.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Blok Drop U's systems work to some extent, but the almost complete absence of other attractives and the feel of randomness makes it a difficult game to recommend.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The charm of Weapon Shop de Omasse is truly what saves the game from mediocrity, keeping the experience interesting even hours after its core mechanic reached its full potential.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Retro City Rampage DX is a short and simple game, but the ingenious and inordinate use of 80s references plus the updates of the portable version make for a unique and innovative experience.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    In the end, everything comes down to the incredible level design and the pure joy of playing. Super Mario 3D World makes 3D Land seem like a prototype. It's a product from a team at its creative peak - it's Mario in its purest essence.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    A Link Between Worlds is a relief for those who feared the franchise was stagnated. The innovations are here to stay.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Sonic Lost World doesn't have a good story and requires a lot of adaptations to the controls. But it is a excellent game, fun, addicting, varied, with ingenious boss battles and is full of content.

    It's a very good title, but one that requires a lot of patience.

    Consistently competent and without great ambitions beyond the volume of content, Blacklist is not the definitive experience of Splinter Cell, but reunites the series.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Limits on investigation and the notable absence of some cherish characters are boring details, but, by the time you reach the last case, you'll notice that they are just that: details.

    New Super Luigi U is a great idea from a Nintendo still trying new ways to make DLC and one that works really well for its purpose.

    There is fun in the package, although Wario has had more inspiration and creativity in his previous investments.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Scrap the MegaMan-esque pistol and add a FLUDD-alike hose. Wagon's apparently subtle job change is actually the biggest improvement Mighty Switch Force! 2 does. It allows the game's core - the switch gameplay - to shine brighter, with enemies being more puzzle-centric than the previous more simplistic path obstacles. This sequel pretty much functions like the original, but it's the little enhancements, such as the great learning curve for each tile fitting into single levels, that makes the game not only feels more challenging, but better. If only the art styles used in some of the last levels got more time in the spotlight.

    Objects are controlled with the Circle Pad and the physics doesn't help. Adaptation is achieved only by those who try to enjoy the game at its maximum, playing again and again each stage in pursuit of perfection. To every other person, beating the game takes less than half an hour and is full of frustration. If you are in the first group, Kersploosh! it's worth the small investment.

    If you like classic RPGs and, most important, reading, Crimson Shroud will be your thing.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a stylish adventure that can be enjoyed two or three times in a short amount of time and entertains because of its simplicity.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Yes, the new 2D adventure is not a demonstration of Wii U's potential, but it's extremely competent as a plataformer, adding some elements that probably will accompany the series in the future and making, though perhaps unconsciously with its final boss, the eyes of players sparkle and give us a taste of what to expect of Mario in its next tridimensional adventure.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not hard to imagine that some people will feel unmotivated to buy Tokyo Crash Mobs for all the weirdness in it. Those who don't have a problem with this, however, will find that this title is, in fact, a challenging puzzle... Which hardly will surprise anyone, because its mechanics are old pals for fans of the genre.

    Ikachan is not a masterpiece, but it's a simple and enjoyable experience which deserves another chance.
