Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros.

It is often very easy to classify Nintendo as the Japanese giant which makes every game as accessible as possible to appeal to the whole family. Which could be interpreted as "safe and easy".

Project X Zone

Project X Zone is a better fan service vanity project than it is a strategy RPG.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf

"Think of it as less a game, more a life choice. It's a twee game, but don't mistake it for a childish one. It's an addictive, warm-hearted title that deserves to be on your 3DS."

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D

"Take one of the best and most complete platformers of the last decade, shrink it into the 3DS and add what the original was screaming for. Guaranteed success?"

Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins

"As with previous titles in the franchise, Lego City Undercover is a fun game. But unlike those that have went before, it's not a crazily entertaining one."

Fire Emblem: Awakening

"This one of those rare games that will wrap you up completely in its world, and you will end up playing until your batteries run out."

Nano Assault EX

"This is not a very original game. But it is a well crafted one, as we control a spaceship cleaning infected cells by zapping them out of existence."

Luigi's Mansion 2

"The original took under six hours to finish. Here? You can happily hit fifteen."

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

"It's a game built more for teams of adventurers than the lone wolf, as teamwork forestalls potential grind in tackling the boss fights."

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate

"The more linear approach has its merits as this is a portable game, meant to be enjoyed in short bursts."
