Critics seem englamoured by this ‘greatest hits’ role-player package, with GameSpot handing out 8/10. In addition to a Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn demo, the 3DS gains the very well received JRPG Etrian Odyssey Nexus too. Nintendo World Report found it to be a “fun and challenging†throwback, which is about as much as you can ask for.

Other games of note include Defense Grid 2 – one of the best tower defence games around – retro platformer Commander Keen in Keen Dreams, and Hamster’s re-release of Puzzle Bobble 2 on NeoGeo.

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is the third from the publisher we’ve seen this year, being a fantasy point ‘n clicker first released in 2015.ĭespite its age reviews are mostly positive, including 8/10 from GameSpew and 3.5/5 from Screen Rant.
