Nintendo played it safe this week with its E3-adjacent livestream, but for me the biggest news was the reveal of Advance Wars finally being willed into re-existence. The upcoming remake will bundle the first game and the Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising into one meaty product of mobile strategy.

DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power succeeds in not feeling like a simple cash-grab. Much like its source material, it has genuine heart, plenty of activities to take part in, and a cast of characters who are simply adorable. Some of its more social open-world gameplay may feel a touch slapdash, but its colourful and explosive action more than makes up for it by being a blast of addictive and easy-to-grasp fun.

The update was only available for a few hours before Nintendo pulled it all back, offering only the vaguest of explanations.

Game Builder Garage might just be the perfect and most inviting piece of software that you can acquire to help bring your first game development dreams to life.

At long last, the most average of Pokemon generations gets a do-over in Pokemon Shining Pearl and Brilliant Diamond.

So what is this interactive story that I've been throwing my thumbs at, attempting to guide its fate while being exposed to cracks in the wall that separates its reality from mine? Is it an absurdly smart commentary of video games, a bonkers adventure to watch unfold, a slice of creativity rarely seen in the industry? Is it an experience that has to be felt to be understood, thanks to its talkative AI and whimsical approach? Whatever it is, one thing is for certain: There is no game.

Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir and The Girl Who Stands Behind are well-told and compelling mystery games presented in a loving remake that improves on the original titles while sometimes remaining a little too faithful to outdated designs.

With cute little characters and easy to learn mechanics, Nintendo wants to get in on that LittleBigPlanet energy.
