Animal Crossing: New Leaf

This might be the brightest of 2013's 3DS stars. A beautiful, generous, warm-hearted game in every way and a worthy successor to Wild World's crown.

Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move

How does NST keep Mario/DK feeling so fresh? Yet another clever and expansive puzzle game, if not exactly the most relaxing example of the genre.

Game & Wario

The very definition of a mixed bag, Game & Wario is innovative, but stingy with it; silly, but a bit of a slog. Beware the bad eggs, cherish the prize ones.

Reel Fishing Paradise 3D Mini

It might be a faithful enough recreation of the world's most popular murder-sport, but it's absolutely nothing more.

Publisher Dream

This could be the most accurate simulation ever made. By no means should that be taken as a compliment.

Forgotten Legions

Here lies Cypronia's high concept, gone and very much Forgotten. Perhaps a sequel could help jog our memory.

Bloody Vampire

Certain sorts of gamer will dig this retro Metroidvania game, but make sure you're one of them before taking a bite.

Picdun 2: Witch's Curse

Worthwhile if you haven't ever played Picdun, just don't expect to feel comfortable with the company.

Kung Fu Rabbit

Yes, it's eShop filler, but it's certainly not a bad game for that. Pick this up if you need a platforming fix.
