Overall, Chibi-Robo Zip Lash is a very fun platformer that feels very Metroid in how it handles exploring worlds.While the difficulty can be lacking at certain points, once you master all of Chibi-Robo's moves you begin to really enjoy and appreciate the puzzle aspect of each level.
Guitar Hero Live brings a lot of new things to the music rhythm genre of video game and everything elevates the latest installment to "classic" status.
Yo-Kai Watch is an amazing first game of a hopefully long series and you'll want to pick it up immediately and hop on the Yo-Kai Watch hype train.
Plenty of players and fans are hyped for the release of Fallout 4, but this is the first game of the franchise that I've played. Yes, I'm a Fallout virgin but Fallout 4 has shown me the light.
[E]asily the best Wii U game of 2015.
'Mario and Luigi Paper Jam' is the next Mario spin-off for the Nintendo 3DS, bringing an enjoyable and challenging RPG to the handheld console.
While there are a lot of talking and walking parts to Cyber Sleuth the charm of the story and the deep battle system overshadow those problems. We had hoped Bandai Namco and Media Vision could take the Digimon franchise to new heights, and Cyber Sleuth is a great start.
When the promised updates in March come around, maybe Street Fighter V will live up to its potential but right now it feels incomplete.
The Pokémon Company has another successful spin-off. Pokkén Tournament is the best fighting game of 2016 so far.
Hyrule Warriors Legends is great for anyone looking for some mindless action to sink hours into, this is especially true if you missed out on the 2014 Wii U game.
'Star Fox Zero' releases with upgraded graphics and new vehicles but a wonky motion control and the lack of innovation hampers the Wii U title from meeting expectations.
'Pocket Card Jockey' is an unconventional mix of solitaire and horse racing that Game Freak executes to near-perfection creating a challenging and rewarding experience.
'Kirby: Planet Robobot' mixes old gameplay with new mechanics and another worldly story to make an enjoyable 3DS game for everyone.
Overall, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a must-own game for fans and non-fans of the franchise, especially if you're planning to get a Nintendo Switch. Its huge open world and engaging story gives the title an epic scale that hasn't been seen in a Nintendo game for quite some time.
If you're looking for a fun little gift for younger players or if you are hankering for some casual Mario sports action you don't have to look further than this game.
Overall, Has-Been Heroes is a very enjoyable experience, despite the difficulty level. While I wouldn't recommend this game for younger gamers as they will probably get too frustrated, this is definitely something players with patience can really sink hours and hours into.
While the Nintendo Switch is getting a lot of attention, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is a great reminder that the 3DS can still deliver great games. This is the first must-own 3DS title of 2017.
Overall, Injustice 2 is one of the best fighting game in terms of content and actual fighting that I've every played.
Overall, Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers is an impressive port for fighting game and Street Fighter fans. This addition to the Nintendo Switch library is much-needed and proves that the Switch can handle the rigors of a fighting game, especially in portable mode. It's going to be great to get more fighting games in the future on this platform.
If you're looking for a great multiplayer experience on the Switch you don't have to look any further than ARMS. The fighting system and mechanics are deep and a ton of fun while the characters and world built into this game really immerse you while you're battling.
