Pikmin 3.5
There’s a lot to love about Pikmin 3. This is a Nintendo masterpiece, and easily one of the best games on the Wii U. The lack of a hard limit on the number of days you can play coupled with the requirement to stay focused on the task at hand eliminates the problems...
Overall, Shin Megami Tensei IV is a massive, sprawling RPG that features one of the most fun and deep combat systems I’ve seen on the 3DS. While it’s not immune from the pacing issues that generally affect games of this scope and the map is in dire need of an...

But if you have skipped the superior Wii U exclusive earlier, or you are...
Mostly because of how hidden the new content is, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is a remake that feels redundant, even more so because the original game is less than three years old. If you missed out on the original, by all means check out the 3DS version for a...
Unlockables are limited to alternate costumes (there aren’t many), concept art, music, and new Battle types. Seemingly every time you accomplish something in single or multiplayer modes, more avatar customization options open up.
