Are you ready? Are you set? Then let's get started!The latest from Zen Studios offers a great portable pinball experience for the 3DS. The game comes with four tables, each themed after a specific Marvel hero (Iron Man, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Blade). The tables look incredible, and should be especially enjoyable for any comic/pinball aficionados out there.Online rankings, the ability to swap high scores locally, and a Hotseat multiplayer option make Marvel Pinball 3D the best portable pinball experience available on the 3DS. Unless you simply don’t care for the genre, this one is definitely worth checking out.The popular restaurant simulation game has made its way to 3DS, and it’s as weirdly addicting as ever. The game tasks you with starting a restaurant and finding clever ways to multi-task as you prepare all manner of food. It’s an experience that really shouldn’t be all that fun… yet it is. I personally found the art style a bit obnoxious, but overall it’s actually a really well made game.Unless figuring out how to fill a cup with soda without burning the fries or forgetting to flip the burger sounds more like torture than fun, you should consider giving Order Up!! a try. The experience certainly isn’t for everyone, but a demo version is currently available in the 3DS eShop if you want to give it a test drive (test drive-through?).Donkey Kong Jr. gives players the chance to play as everyone’s favorite gorilla, as he attempts to rescue his dad (the OG DK) from that evil plumber in red. You know the one. Your goal is to avoid the various obstacles while collecting fruit and jumping/climbing your way to DK. It’s a total blast, and well worth the download.Donkey Kong Jr. is the latest NES game to find second life on the 3DS eShop. Whether you missed it when it first came out, or even if it’s just been awhile, consider throwing a few of your dollars Junior’s way.I’ve played a lot of puzzle games in my day, yet something about rushing to clear rows of rising or falling blocks always keeps me coming back for more. The latest one to hit Nintendo’s handheld is Bomb Monkey. The game has you dropping blocks and bombs from above as the row of blocks on the bottom slowly rises. The goal is to prevent the stack from reaching the top by connecting similarly colored blocks, then blowing them up with a well-placed bomb.Unfortunately, the game fails to create a memorable or terribly engaging puzzle experience. The problem is that Bomb Monkey never inspires that sense of urgency so integral to the puzzle genre. Even as the level increases, there just isn’t much challenge here - especially with the frequently occurring blocks that allow you to clear a whole row or column with a single bomb. I never really felt all that compelled to keep increasing my high score either, as there are simply too many (and far better) puzzle experiences already available on my 3DS. Bomb Monkey’s presentation also leaves much to be desired. After you finish a round it just goes right back to the main menu, without a screen summing up how you did or if you got a new high score or anything. It’s still a decent enough game, and the dancing monkey sprite is completely hilarious, but don’t expect anything too amazing here.Art of Balance TOUCH! is the other puzzle game that came out for 3DS eShop this month, and this one fares much better. The premise is simple - using the touch screen, you’re tasked with balancing an array of oddly shaped blocks on a platform suspended over water. It sounds easy, but the addition of blocks that break if you pile too many other blocks on top of it and awkwardly narrow starting platforms make it much more challenging - and addicting - than you might think.Art of Balance TOUCH! presents a great use of 3D, and offers an enjoyable puzzle experience that will keep you going back for just one more level. With 200 levels to wade your way through, there’s plenty of balancing fun to go around.The Prince of Persia series has undergone significant changes since its PC debut. As such, this Game Boy Color remake of the original Prince of Persia may take fans of the modern games by surprise. You have 60 minutes to make your way through 12 dungeons and rescue your beloved from the evil dude who wants to either marry or kill her within an hour’s time. Along the way you’ll have to figure your way around platforming puzzles, engage in swordplay, and try to avoid death as you quickly run from the dungeon to your sweetheart’s side.While the original Prince of Persia may be less action packed than the modern releases, it still offers some great puzzles and a truly unique experience well worth playing.Mad Dog McCree is a bad game, and a complete waste of money. From the trailer (below), you’d think it would at least be bad in an enjoyable or funny way - but no. It’s just painful. As a completely non-3D and poorly made video plays, you’re supposed to use the touch screen to aim a pistol and take out bad guys that occasionally appear on screen. The shooting is clunky and only works at very specific moments. It’s just not fun, and there’s no reason to ever waste your time on it.It’s bad. Don’t buy it. You’ve been warned.Slitherlink by Nikoli is the third number puzzle game to come to 3DS eShop, following Sudoku by Nikoli and Kakuro by Nikoli. The game has you connecting dots with a line, using the numbers on the board to figure out where the lines should be placed. Of the three Nikoli offerings on eShop, Slitherlink is the least remarkable of the number game bunch.Unless you really badly want to draw lines around numbers, stick to Sudoku by Nikoli.While it’s not for 3DS, Nintendo download fans should know that Mega Man X2 made its way to Wii Virtual Console this month. As the incredible sequel to one of the best SNES games out there, it’s a must download for anyone with a Wii. Don’t hesitate - buy it, then enjoy Mega busting to your heart’s content.
