    Another game I grabbed with my Club Nintendo points (after Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D) was Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move for the 3DS. I was always curious about these “Minis” games but for some reason never got around to playing any of them, and so decided to finally take the jump,…

    I picked this up tonight as one of my Club Nintendo free downloads, and I’m sure glad I did. I haven’t played a Donkey Kong Country game since the original one on the Super Nintendo, and wow, I just totally got sucked into the gameplay. Loving the platforming, and the visuals are really fantastic, with…

    I played through the demo that was just released on the eShop, and man, have I gotten addicted to this game. Strategy is not a genre I tend to gravitate towards, but I will have fun with a strategy game if done right, and boy was I having fun with this. There’s something great about…

    I’ve been late to the Pushmo series, with my first taste coming from Pushmo World on Wii U – which I loved. The original Pushmo for 3DS has been on sale since last week, and so I picked it up and have been having just as much fun with it as I did with World.…

    I got my hands on the demo of the upcoming 3DS version of this game, and was really excited to take it out for a spin. On the latest Nintendo Direct there was a mention of how the demo was set to help newbies to the series (like me) get started. It does indeed start…

    I’ve been pretty lucky with my gaming experiences of late, and Fantasy Life is another game I’ve been having so much fun playing. At first, I got so caught up just exploring the different “lives” (or jobs) of my character that I played close to 10 hours before I realized that I should also make…

    I’d been wanting to play this for such a long time, and last week’s eShop sale gave me the perfect excuse to do so. This game is just so much fun, and I’m constantly wowed by the entire presentation, particularly the sound design – it’s an absolute joy to hear Luigi hum the soundtrack, as…

    As I think I’ve mentioned before, I’m not a big fan of fighting games – the only one I remember really loving a lot was Power Stone – and although I know that the Smash games have a reputation for being more friendly (in terms of the controls), I still have never really played them…

    Having so many friends excited for this game – when it was released earlier this month in Japan – got me excited for it too, and I’m really glad I picked it up. It’s a 2D Mega Man-like action platformer, and yes, it’s fun to play, and it also has a cool cyberpunk setting –…

    Imagine an NES game, but done if the NES had kept evolving a few more years. I’m having a blast playing this, and I’m doing so mostly playing it on the Wii U controller – there’s also a 3DS version, but since I play even my 3DS games at home, I figured the Wii U…
