An absolute jaw-dropper
Ubisoft's Rayman Origins was praised for its amazing 2D visuals, lush environments and solid platforming.

When the original ATV Wild Ride was released on Nintendo DS last year, it was praised for its impressive play controls and solid track designs.

Review Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters (3DS eShop / GB)
Heavenly
When the original Kid Icarus hit the NES, many gamers weren't sure exactly what to think of it. For starters the game's protagonist was a cute little winged angel (at least we thought so) who ran around shooting tiny arrows at mythological enemies.
