Fairune 2 is a sequel that follows its predecessor on all the right tracks, keeping what made the original a pleasant experiences and extending its lifespan. What works for some might not work for all, though, and for players looking for something more groundbreaking than the original this will not deliver, which does not mean that its creative combat system and rich audiovisual component will fall short of the players' expectations, because it won't.

With a wealth of levels and plenty of incentives to get back to it, Gear Gauntlet ends up becoming too tough at certain moments, driving the players to the brink of desperation in a work that will deter the less experienced but satisfy those determined enough to push ahead.

ASH tries hard to pay tribute to turn-based RPGs of the 1980s and 1990s...so hard that it doesn't realize that genres evolve for a reason. This game is mostly stuck on a sea of obsolescence and not even its well-written dialogues can add a different flair to a production that does poorly in nearly every other aspect.

Twisted Fusion is a game that demonstrates some potentially good ideas to be explored, such as its character development and competent gameplay concepts. Unfortunately all good ideas in the world can be overwhelmed by a poor execution, which is what happens in this game. Its mediocre visual environment, lack of precision in the platforming sections, uncorrected bugs and unplayable moments make this a game that only works on paper and which gives the impression that it has not been finished and fully revised before release.

Corpse Party is full of details that will either delight or appall the players, depending on their tastes but it will certainly not go unnoticed with its high quality audiovisual environment and capacity to plunge the players in its universe. While it pushes too far its conditions to reach the game's best ending and can become predictable at certain moments, Corpse Party is a welcome and necessary addition to the 3DS catalogue as far as horror games are concerned.

Dragon Quest VIII: The Journey of The Curse King reaches the 3DS after several versions in other formats and this is most likely the best version of the game so far. Showing the best of what can be done in RPGs, Dragon Quest VIII is already a strong candidate to the title of game of the year on the 3DS and there's virtually no aspect in which this title does not excel. A true masterpiece, that can be enjoyed by RPG fans and non-fans alike.

Mercenaries Saga 3 may not be the most ambitious game ever made but fans of SRPGs will find plenty to be satisfied about thanks to the game's use of strategy in combat and good long-term appeal. Some unique gameplay elements also help it in standing apart from other games of the genre and other than a plot that could be more elaborate, Mercenaries Saga 3 is a competent follow-up to the series that will offer plenty of value to those who put their hands on it.

Ghost Blade HD is a game that may be out of its original time but still provides a fun-packed and fluid 2D shooting experience, just like so many others did in decades past. Despite its lacklustre sound environment and rather short lifespan, it's a well-crafted introduction to the genre for many players who never had any contact with 2D shooters and can bring back some good memories for more experienced players.

Mario Sports Superstars means well but ultimately fails in delivering a title that is on par with previous sports games of the Mario universe. While the rich visual environment will keep the eyes fairly satisfied, most of the sports included feel empty and fall behind the threshold of fun, thus not justifying a long term investment in the overall game.

Brave Dungeon is a simple but fun RPG that may not be the most ambitious effort ever made but it certainly allows for fun sessions. Featuring plenty of content, including after the game's main quest is finished and quality animations, Brave Dungeon's rather unvaried dungeons don't pose much of an obstacle in making this a good option for RPG fans.

The title might not suggest it in an obvious way but Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D is an immensely fun and long-lasting experience that doesn't get dull and that rewards its players with more and more content while rich and beautiful backgrounds keep their eyes entertained. Being a very unpredictable game only helps it even more, as Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D stands out as a wildcard of fun gameplay that no dedicated player should go without.

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is a remake that helps bringing the series back to its roots and it works very well at that. Thanks to successful gameplay innovations, captivating plot and cast and a magnificent audiovisual component, this is certainly a game that will be very appreciated by a wide amount of fans. It doesn't fully live up to its potential but Shadows of Valentia acts as a promising new direction for the Fire Emblem series.

Might Gunvolt Burst builds on its predecessor and easily overcomes it, thanks to its use of creative and fun gameplay mechanics, a rich visual environment and an overall quality production that will certainly appeal to fans of retro-looking action games.

Kid Tripp as a whole is a quality game that features fun and welcome mechanics within the endless runner genre and with a rich and varied audiovisual background. While it feels short for those who complete it soon enough, it's a fun experience that is certainly pleasant to play and which lasts enough without ever feeling too repetitive.

Yo-Kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters looks appealing and it has something going for it but unfortunately it gets too mired in dull moments, especially in combat and on its missions and the game's depth doesn't allow for a significant and compelling experience. While younger children may like it, it's a rather easy game to overlook.

Living at its own pace, this is certainly a game that will prove rewarding to the players that invest in it, with plenty of opportunities arising throughout the game's experience.

80's Overdrive brings back old-school arcade racing to the 3DS and this is a game that will make friends among the fans of the most memorable games of that style. Its lack of a multiplayer mode is the game's biggest flaw and some frustrating elements in the main competitive racing mode somewhat harm the experience but overall, it brings a fun and nostalgia-filled time to its players.

This RPG is more than deserving of attention with its compelling combat system, well developed progression, rich and varied visual environment, as well as a vast and varied world. Alliance Alive would deserve to see an earlier release in Nintendo's last-gen handheld, if only to ensure more visibility to its efforts.

Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers brings the Dillon series back to the 3DS in a game that builds on its predecessors' legacy to bring an experience that has improved in many ways, thanks to its attractive visuals and control scheme. Where Dead-Heat Breakers disappoints is on its fun factor, beyond shorter gaming sessions the game quickly becomes too repetitive and tiresome for its players, aggravated by a price tag that is very difficult to justify.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the 3DS may not be the most anticipated game of all time but this is a sharp and efficient conversion of the game that has already been released for the Wii U and Switch and one which is in no way dwarfed by its more technical advanced counterparts.
