Nintendo resurrects its angelic mascot in this lavishly produced action game.

Vanpool’s fresh take on tower defence has a rugged charm, but its claws are blunted by repetition.

An entrancing RPG from Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy.

Economical and clever, Intelligent System's 3DS puzzler is full of leftfield ideas.

Sunsoft’s inventive tank platformer for Game Boy Color rattles onto 3DS' Virtual Console.

A graceful return to form for Nintendo's beloved series.

A triumph.

A handheld confection of the Mario series' best ideas.

Can a 3D makeover blow away 14 years' worth of cobwebs?
2
The Virtual Console return of Capcom's Ghouls N' Ghosts spinoff proves tight platforming is timeless.

A glowing return to form for the JRPG that boasts one of the strongest battle systems in the genre.

A grand DS adventure delivered in bite-sized portions.

Nintendo's submarine sim is good-looking, but doesn't offer much below the surface.

Though a convincing demonstration of 3DS' muscle, a dearth of content results in clipped wings.

Still bright-eyed and wet-nosed, Nintendo's virtual pets have lost none of their appeal in the transition to 3D.

Nintendo's 3D handheld arrives in the UK today, but how well does the effect that wowed at tradeshows hold up at home?

They may not add much that is new, but the latest Pokemon games highlight what made the series great in the first place.

It might look gimmicky, but it's difficult to resist the charms of this imaginative outing for Nintendo's pink hero.
