  • Metroid: Samus Returns

    I’ve been wanting to play this ever since it came out, and I finally got the chance this week. I’ve played a few hours so far (I’m now in Area 2) and as much as I like the gameplay, I have a feeling I’m not going to get to finish it (also due to the…

  • Crimson Shroud

    This is part of Level-5’s Guild series of downloadable games that have been coming out on 3DS, 6 or 7 of them so far (the first 4 were originally released together). The eShop currently has all of them on sale for $3, so I immediately jumped on Crimson Shroud, which I’d had my eye on…

  • Steel Diver: Sub Wars

    This is the new free-to-play game that was released by Nintendo the other day for 3DS, and from what I’ve played so far – basically, going through the training missions – I must say this is pretty fun. The controls are neat and easy to understand, and I liked hunting other subs and ships. Online…

  • Super Mario 3D World

    So yes, just over a week ago, I finally got my hands on a Nintendo Wii U (and big thanks to my friend who made that possible). Despite the dismal news on the health of the console, I always knew I would eventually get one, and was just being patient, waiting for the games that…

  • SteamWorld Dig

    I just spent the weekend playing this, and wow, what fun. When it originally came out on 3DS last year, I remember a few friends praising it a lot, and so figured I would eventually get it. It’s a digging/mining game in which you try and uncover new areas, upgrading your robot with new gear…

  • Bravely Default Demo

    They’ve just released a demo for the upcoming US release of this (in February I think), and it’s pretty interesting that the demo itself is its own thing, not just a part of the full game – and you can unlock stuff in this that will carry to the full release. I’ve only started playing…

  • The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

    Even though I bought this pretty much as soon as it hit the eShop on Friday, I didn’t really get a change to dig deep into it until last night, due to the weekend’s PS4 adventures (see the previous posts). I’m glad I didn’t rush into it though, and what I have played so far…

  • Theatrhythm Final Fantasy

    I played a bunch of this game when it came out on iOS, and bought a few (pricey) packs for it, but when I saw the original 3DS version on sale on Play-Asia, I decided to pick it up, and I’m sure glad I did. The joy here is of course in playing a rhythm…

  • Nano Assault EX

    I bought this game on the 3DS eShop last week – it was on sale for half price, and probably still is – and haven’t played much because of Dream Team monopolizing my 3DS time these days, but it’s a really rad shooter. This game really shows off the 3D effects of the system well,…

  • Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

    As you may have noticed, I’ve really been enjoying playing games on the 3DS of late, and so it’s no big surprise that I was fairly excited at the idea of playing Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, to the point that I got the game pretty much as it was released (midnight release on August…
