As a longtime fan of this genre, I'm always happy when new or old titles find their way to the West. So also with Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha, where I already own games like Strikers 1945, Strikers 1945 II for Playstation 2. In principle, the collection is well developed and offers corresponding options where everyone who can start with the genre will have fun. But the lack of an online ranking for high scores and other goodies such as background information about the different titles or a sound test would have been a must.

Luigi's Mansion 3 is another Nintendo game that brings an incredible amount of charm and ideas with it, which lets the tried and tested game principle shine out of puzzles, exploration and fighting. Every floor is full of loving details and secrets, in which ambitious players are occupied for a long time. The title has to endure small deductions in the B-note at the controls, because I had the problem from time to time to turn in the right direction with Luigi when things got hectic. Still a 'must have' for Christmas.

Describing Far Cry New Dawn as a successor would be too high. Story, gameplay and innovations can reach the level of an add-on. People who have no problem with that will have fun here as well.

Of course, as a loyal Nintendo fan, I own New Super Mario Bros. U and its DLC on the Wii U and was a bit disappointed that Nintendo did not come up with something new for the deluxe version. Although Toadette and thus Princess Peach are a nice bonus and make some jump passages a lot easier. And also the technical implementation is very well. But again porting a six-year-old Mario game (+ DLC) with marginal changes and offering it for the full price tag is a bit overstated in my opinion. Either more content or a lower price would have been desirable.

If the technical issues with Gear Club Unlimited 2 were not an issue, the racing game would be the new racing reference on the Nintendo console. But Eden Games had probably time problems in the development and had to bring their racing game seemingly before Christmas in the shops. Even the online mode advertised in the game menu did not make it to the final game. And until now (06/01/2019), the developer has not added a patch to get the above problems under control, which will certainly not make buyers of Gear Club Unlimited 2 happier.
