Yoshi’s Woolly World review

A darned good game
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer review

A failure with flair
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 – Record Breaker review

The demon is in the details.
Affordable Space Adventures review

If you bring friends, Affordable Space Adventures is one of the most interesting games on the Wii U. If not, it’s a few beards short of a Riker.
Etrian Mystery Dungeon review

This unexpected fusion of two beloved dungeon-crawling franchises is worth it for fans of either Etrian Odyssey or Mystery Dungeon, but nagging issues sometimes drag down the experience.
Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. review

Code Name: STEAM is a game all Intelligent Systems fans should play, but be warned: It’s not the perfected, streamlined experience you’re used to.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D review

Tingle, Tingle, Kooloo-Limpah!
Citizens of Earth review

It’s great to see games like Citizens of Earth take inspiration from essential classics like EarthBound—but the execution is another matter.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker review

The intrepid fungal explorer’s first solo game successfully expands upon the fun found in Super Mario 3D World.
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth review

While Etrian Odyssey fans may not truly find what they’d be looking for here, Persona players both new and old absolutely shouldn’t miss this.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U review

Super Smash Bros’s Wii U debut is a new high for a franchise, with a deeper lineup of modes and gorgeous HD visuals.
Bayonetta 2 review

Bayonetta 2 isn’t perfect—but I’ll be damned if it isn’t one of the finest-crafted, most enjoyable, and most charming action games out there.
