Earth's Dawn is a solid 2D action game that unfortunately suffers from repetition and irritating difficulty spikes.
Mario Party Star Rush is one of the best games in the series.
Bullet Soul: Infinite Burst may be a better version of a capable shoot 'em up, but the fact that it's pretty much the same experience albeit more fine-tuned makes it a tough game to recommend if you already bought the vanilla version.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II is definitely a step up from the original due to its enhancements and added sense of freedom.

There is no doubt that Yo-Kai Watch 2 is a fun game that will put a smile on the face of children and adults alike.
