    The fourth installment in the series is another great title for the lineup of Wii U.

    For fans of the survival horror genre, ZombiU is filled to the brink with challenges and many hours of gameplay.

    The only way to not having fun is not having company.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    VLR builds on a pre-existing universe a new layer with new characters and sets the stage for the probably last volume of a series that messes with the heads of all who are involved.

    So, after breaking and reassembling everything, what's left? Another hit from Intelligent Systems, which again leaves the comfort zone and give us something different and complex, but at the same time friendly and inviting.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This is a game that's more stress than fun. Which, for having an interesting concept that is applied in a fun way in its first levels, is a pity.

    Even though Sticker Star has some problems, it is a very enjoyable adventure.

    Unova may not feel as fresh as it did before, but still has plenty of charm.

    Unova may not feel as fresh as it did before, but still has plenty of charm.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Its presentation is good, but its shallow gameplay is boring. Apparently, even the dev team knew that, as they decided to cover up the mess with fake RPG elements.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Liberation Maiden meets its goal as part of a package and never really goes beyond that.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Launched and publicized as a companion app for Black 2 and White 2, Dream Radar doesn't do much to separate itself from this status.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The "Denpa" Men: They Came By Wave is a good example of the best of the eShop.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Rising 3D Board is cheap fun. It doesn't keep anyone attached to the 3DS for more than a few minutes.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Fractured Soul is perhaps on par with several other plataformers on eShop, but stands out from the crowd by including online leaderboards.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Of course, New Super Mario Bros. 2 contains many elements at its core that are worth gold, but due to conformism, sometimes latent, is satisfied with not taking advantage of opportunities to worth more.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    If Sakaguchi believed that fantasy of decades ago shouldn't be the final, may he now see that this story shouldn't be the last.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Kingdom Hearts 3D is the pinnacle of the Kingdom Hearts portable formula, unifying everything that the series did right in the format and many new, smart ideas.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    You don't control a thief that fights Napoleon with dance and music every day.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Don't buy Theatrhythm if you do not have access to at least one Final Fantasy, because it's impossible not to want to play them all again after having fun with their soundtracks.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's not the most complete or most beautiful version of the title from Zen Studios, but has enough content to make any fan of the genre have fun.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Cutting tomatoes or frying potatoes are still oddly fun activities.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    You can see Bird Mania 3D as cheap entertainment... Or as a huge waste of time. Both points of view are valid.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Paying 5 dollars in a world with Mobile Apps and Facebook games that generate an infinite number of challenges for free isn't, in any way, a smart investment.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Mario Party 9 is unlike anything in the series before, although it seems familiar.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A game of discoveries and rediscoveries.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The transition to home consoles didn't innovate the series, but gave to it what is perhaps its best version.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's an interesting concept, but surprisingly not that polished after all this time.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Revelations is not a milestone in the series, is not brilliant, but it is very competent, both technically and conceptually, and has something that the series is really needed: personality. This is the time to Resident Evil stop and think where to go. Revelations is a step in the right direction. One single step.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It has potential to be way better, but you can have some fun.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Fans of the rhythmic gameplay of Punch-Out!! will have fun. About the others ... Well, there will always be other princesses to be rescued.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Recommended for those who like side-scrolling action games and for those who miss the 16-bits era.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Charming, Mutant Mudds does not change the genre, but certainly pleases those who are already fans.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    MW3 is the definitive version of the franchise on the Wii and one of the best FPS ever made for the console.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    In an industry where originality is a virtue increasingly rare, games like Pushmo should not be missed.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With Just Dance 3, Ubisoft maintains its hegemony in dancing games on the Wii, and bet on fun to reach an even wider audience.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Need For Speed: The Run on Wii is a weak, tedious, disorganized and frustrating experience. You must be a die-hard fan to play it.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Rayman Origins combines art and challenge in a unique form.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Cleverly balanced to entertain and challenge, with the ideal selection of tracks and items, an immersive online structure and all possible options of interaction between players, this title will be stuck to many 3DSs for years.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    For those who haven't had chance to play it, there is no better recommendation in 3D line Classics.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    It is a paradox that a paid product has less content and quality that dozens of similar freewares out there.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The game has controls that respond quickly and a nice visual aspect, but it is very repetitive.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Quoting Robin Williams in the most recent commercial of the game, Skyward Sword is the result of a project of 25 years and a clear confirmation that only the experience of a quarter of a century is able to turn a game into a legend.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Everyone wanted to know where Mario would go after conquering the universe (twice) on the Wii, and with this new adventure, Nintendo gave the answer. To alternate dimensions? No. To home.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Gnomz is a an excellent game for a meeting with friends, but does not convince otherwise.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    One of the best puzzles in the DSiWare.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Eccentric enough to make fans imagine if its theme was inspired by a microgame from WarioWare, Freakyforms is the perfect activity to fill those useless minutes in the waiting room or on the bus.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    CyberConnect2 did a great job and hopefully Solatorobo will not be forgotten as its predecessor, because of the games of the last gasp of the DS, this one is certainly worth the investment.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Kirby Mass Attack is ingenious, overflowing with creativity and content, and able to hold the attention of hardcores and casuals alike. Consistant and surprising at every corner, this last Kirby DS adventure goes out with a bang.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While Spider-Man: Edge of Time is not that bad, it is a game that, unless you are experiencing moments of extreme leisure, doesn't deserve much attention.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    There are better Arkanoid clones for free out there.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    With the same slow physics system of its predecessor, the game stays behind its potential. Fortunately, some players are able to ignore such peculiarities - and Furry Legends reward these with its ingenuity.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Pyramids has good longevity, but even with some new features in the course of the game, it's a tiring game. Its price, however, is not a burden. You cannot say the same about the difficulty, that in more advanced levels, greatly complicates the life of the player. For those willing to face this challenge, Pyramids is a good choice.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    In all aspects, Dimensions could be better, but from what is, it's already worth a play.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The game shines again, as did 14 years ago, combining the nostalgia with modernity.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    It is the beginning of a new trilogy that has the true potential to surpass the first one. Someone said that the DS was dead? Level-5 certainly disagrees.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Without the Balance Board, stay away. If you have it buried in the closet, however, Horizon Riders, with his frank and entertaining action, is the best reason to take it from there.

    Simply Minesweeper offers more than expected. After all, you can change the animated background of the stages. That's it. Simple..
    • 92 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    To say that Xenoblade Chronicles is a landmark that will lead the evolution of all JRPGs over the next few years is an exaggeration, but the game shows that there's still creative hope for the genre. With their massive adventure, Monolith Soft did what every JRPG developer should: they looked forward, instead of back to archaic concepts from another era.

    • 35 Critic Score
    Ninja Castle is, in a nutshell, a sequel to a bad game that doesn't fix the original's mistakes. It's more of the same, and, therefore, not recommended.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    While the cooperative mode is exceptional, the new single-player experience, despite practical, is very tiring.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    For a game about fishing, the gameplay in Fishing Resort is a little bit too shallow. Fortunately, the developers tried to make up for the repetitive nature of it all by adding a couple of extras and by delivering a package with a great presentation.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Xevious may not have absorbed all the conceptual advances of the last three decades, but its appeal, even reduced, remains and, just for that, deserves to be revisited.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Magical Whip is exactly the kind of game that became popular in digital plataforms: short, simple, cheap.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Simplistic in the visuals, but with an addictive goal and well designed, even with the limitations of this WiiWare version, it is worth taking a chance on this success of Firemint, if you cannot play it on another system.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Intelligent, well-paced and never unfair, the well-animated adventure of Leo the Lion is definitely good, although short. Buyers will be left wanting more.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Apparently, Nintendo had to revisit Urban Champion at least once. We should all be happy that's out of the way now, hoping that true classics show up next in the eShop as 3D Classics.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The game's very lengthy, and is worth the higher price point. The lack of BGMs is worth noting, but doesn't deduce much from the satisfactory package.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The extrapolated difficulty of Go! Go! Kokopolo can either be a problem for some and charming for others. The polishing of the game at Nintendo level, however, is beneficial for everyone.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Definitely not worth the price charged.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Crazy Hamster is definitely not a title for more extensive sessions, excelling in short plays.

    Despite its relatively low price, Monochrome Racing provides enough entertainment for a very short time.
    • 85 Metascore

    Radiant History is a great game, mainly due to the serious plot and the mature characters.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    In the end, it's a game that would hardly beat a Grand Slam Tennis, for example, and will make you have fun or will provide moments where you wonder "why am I not playing Wii Sports tennis?"
    • 79 Metascore

    If you're looking for a good, original and 3D fighting game for the new Nintendo handheld, Dead or Alive: Dimensions must be in your collection.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It's fun, challenging and has a high replay value, and also has very good graphics. But at the same time is limited, short and somewhat repetitive.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    In the end, a curious paradox remains: a game with a plot that is about time and does not care even a bit for it, because it's completely timeless.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    While Monkey Race and Monkey Fight are not worth much of your attention, you can have fun with Monkey Ball for some time. But even with the fairly poor current library of the 3DS, there are better options.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Even with several errors and limitations, the robust content is here, collecting various virtues, and, at the same time, primary failures, which, even with the help of patches, are condemned. But they are not condemned enough to commit an injustice and say that Conduit is not worth the play. No way.

    Wii Play: Motion isn't Game of the Year lists material, and it doesn't have what it takes to keep someone glued to their TV for hours and hours alone. During friend reunions, though, it shines, and not for innovations or high-definition graphics, but for its simplicity and consistency.

    Harvest Moon: Frantic Farming takes the world of farms to a different path from the main series, but not far from its essence, theme and amusement.

    Learning from the past without ever taking his eyes off the present, this is the pinnacle of the series to date and proof that sometimes you don't need a revolution to give new life to a franchise.

    Samurai Warriors: Chronicles is, above all, a Musou. And anyone willing to play a Musou must be prepared to deal with the excessive repetition.

    Maybe not as much fun as Mighty Flup Champs!, Mighty Milky Way is still interesting and full of content, and capable of keeping the player on the DSi for a long time.

    Mario Sports Mix is a title that disappoints. But, despite a middling and boring singleplayer, the multiplayer is worth the play.

    In general, Plants vs. Zombies is an addictive game in all its versions, but on the Nintendo handheld it has at its disposal the largest audience ever owned by a video game and found its best gameplay on the console because of the touch screen.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The clever use of the touch screen makes the 3D Edition something that no other version of the series wished to be until now: accessible.

    Steel Diver is that typical game that is not for everyone. As a launch title, considering the fact that the handheld is poor of great games, maybe It's worth it the play. But do not get too excited, there's nothing so revolutionary that truly justify the purchase.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Even being tied together by a cliched plot, Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars offers complex and fun gameplay, with a considerably sized campaign mode and extra missions. The simplistic graphics and lack of decent multiplayer options are a shame, but do not nullify the qualities of the game, that touches fans of the tactical genre in all the right places.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Okamiden reveals itself as a great game and a very welcomed sequel. May be among the last games of the extensive list of the DS, but this does not dimish its quality. Even if the combat doesn't shine as much as the rest of the package, Okamiden is a masterpiece.

    With no online multiplayer and poor graphics, Ridge Racer 3D is a game with close to no ambition, but one that entertains with an ideal gameplay, many hours of content and a nice use of the 3D effect. Definitely one of the best games the 3DS launch has to offer.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The lack of original scenarios and personality hurts the package, but doesn't take the credit for being a great introductory game for the capabilities of the 3DS, both in terms of graphics and of controls.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Another masterpiece of the Nintendo DS, another title of undoubted quality and a welcome addition to the already excellent library of the platform.

    As part of a saga, however, Dark Dawn leaves a lot to be desired, even more considering all the commotion regarding the series' new rise. And no matter it's quality or commendable status as an RPG, the game is inevitably a dark dawn to Golden Sun fans.
