While it may not have all the whistles and bells of Rune Factory 4 or 5, this delightful remaster of 3 is a welcome addition to the continued trend of bringing back older enjoyable titles for more to get their hands on.
Fashion Dreamer is not necessarily a title that someone is going to sit down and play for hours on end, but it's impressive how addictive the simple gameplay loop quickly becomes.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of all is what sheer simple fun Mario vs. Donkey Kong really is. It's so simple in concept, but never really gets old or tiresome as they keep building up new ideas along the way. It's hard not to keep obsessively going to see what challenge is coming next. There might be moments where it's easy to get stumped, but it's easily fixed simply by looking around and re-examining the options to come to the proper solution. If there's anything that's a downside about the title, it's that we only wish there was even more to play. Hopefully this entry puts it back on the map for Nintendo and they consider expanding upon it even more in the future, as it's a delight and well worth picking up for all those who love charming, puzzling adventures that won't overwork the mind too much.

The Wonderful 101: Remastered is a charming title with a ton of unique mechanics that make it almost intimidating to approach.
There's quite a bit about Phoenotopia Awakening that comes across as enjoyable.
Super Mario Bros. 35 is extremely addictive to keep playing over and over, trying to get that top spot no matter how long it takes.
A good majority of NES titles are hard to recommend to anyone this day and age when most are either outdated or have superior versions players can pick up.
WarioWare: Get It Together! is exactly what fans of the series will be expecting.
Although the visuals may not be much to look at, the combat and story are the soul of Caligula Effect 2 that holds it all together.
Splatoon 3 is basically exactly what it set out to be: a third entry in the Splatoon series.
