As far as performance goes, again there’s not much to say. The game has a very simple layout that doesn’t look good nor bad. It’s just there. It’s simple enough to navigate through, and that’s basically all that matters. What really surprised me was that the developer have actually listed the game at $8. Considering that there are other, more fleshed out experiences out there, I’d much rather save the money and focus on picking something more worthwhile. If you happen to be a fan of word games, though, then this should be right up your alley.

There really isn’t much of anything for me to complain about when it comes to Futuridium. It’s a simple, but fun arcade style shooter that draws you in with its addictive gameplay and awesome presentation. With a price-tag of only $10, MixedBag Srl’s colorful shooter is easily one of the most original and enjoyable games out on the Wii U eShop right now.

At the end of the day, with a price-tag of only $2, you really won’t be losing much if you decide to try the game out of pure curiosity.

The game never made me want to give up, but just to try again. On top of that, the animation was much better than I ever would have anticipated. Even if the Wii U versions visuals aren’t as great as the PC version, the colorful palette and simple, yet effective soundtrack all help build a solid level of presentation to compliment the addictive gameplay.

However, those that decide to pick up the latest Shin Megami Tensei title will be pleasantly delighted by its gameplay and dungeon deisgn. With a near barren summer release schedule this year, Tokyo Mirage Session is the perfect game to sink hours and hours into.

Monster High New Ghoul in School may not be my type of game since it is for younger audiences, but it still is not an excuse to make a lazy game. Kids may get interested with the story, but walking from one place to another most of the time is not my definition of fun.

Even though its presentation isn’t perfect, Toy Defense still manages to be a solid, little title. It definitely isn’t the deepest game in the 3DS’ eShop, but I found it to be a good title for passing time. At only $3.99, CIRCLE Entertainment’s little toy defense game should prove to be a nice treat for those who enjoy the genre.

The presentation, graphics, controls, and atmosphere are well done, but the fact that the game is over before it really starts makes this a hard game to recommend.

All in all, A Beggar’s Ride is a short, simple, and ultimately quite enjoyable puzzle platformer. If you’ve got six bucks to spare, then the charming visuals, impressively developed mixture of atmosphere and story, and solid puzzles will make the game worth a purchase.

Overall, Kirby: Planet Robobot is a fantastic addition to the 3DS library with a well polished gameplay experience that doesn’t feel ‘dumbed down’ or like a mobile game. Clever level design, nice visuals, and the added mech-suit really make Planet Robobot stand out as a Kirby title, and is one of his most enjoyable entries to date. If you enjoy classic Kirby games and are looking for a game with some real value, Kirby: Planet Robobot should be on your radar.
