I love Animal Crossing. I love it so much that I bought amiibo figures like this Rover without anything to use them on (I did eventually buy amiibo Festival for very, very cheap). This amiibo looks just like the classic character Rover, who greeted you on the train in the very first Animal Crossing. Ahh, nostalgia.

I love Animal Crossing. I love it so much that I bought amiibo figures like this Kapp'n without anything to use them on (I did eventually buy amiibo Festival for very, very cheap). While I prefer the crusty sailor version of Kapp'n, the new tour guide Kapp'n is still pretty great, and this amiibo looks just like him.

Like most amiibo figures, this Falco figure is well-made. It looks cool, and it's pretty detailed. I'll be using it in Star Fox Zero, where it unlocks a black Arwing, which has more firepower and less defense.

Like most amiibo figures, this Fox McCloud figure is well made. It looks cool, and is pretty detailed. I look forward to using it in Star Fox Zero when I get the game in a couple weeks. It switches your Arwing to a classic SNES version.

I got this case for my mom when she finally upgraded to a new iphone from her old iphone 4. She didn't want to cover up the Rose Gold finish of her phone because she liked it, and she didn't want a thick case like my own Otterbox Commuter, so this case was perfect. It matches Apple's Rose Gold color and look very well, and is slim, adding very little bulk to the phone. It looks so good you could almost forget there's a case on at all. I can't speak to the protection the case offers, because she hasn't dropped her phone, but between the rubber lining and the metal exterior, I expect it works pretty well.
You take the lead as your team approaches a clean new area, free of color and chaos. With a smirk, you take it all in ~ you'll soon change that. Two teammates begin spraying down walls, floors, ceilings and every other imaginable surface with ink, claiming this territory as your own with a vivid wash of your colors. You and another fighter scan the area for enemies. The opposition never sees you as you sneak up and douse them in an ink bath they'll never forget. This turf is all yours ~ it's time to move on and paint the whole world in your team's colors.Get messy with Splatoon, a fun-filled third-person action shooter that challenges you to cover levels, and enemies, with a brilliant spray of colorful ink.

Cover the terrain around you in ink to claim it, and spray walls to gain access to hard-to-reach areas. Earn high-powered super weapons by soaking your turf in ink, so you can cover your enemies in color or spray more territory. Put on your thinking cap to dream up devastating strategies, but don't forget to keep an eye on your turf ~ too much attention on the other team may lead to a redecoration of your own territory. Easily refill your tank or hide from enemies with just a touch of a button, or transform into a squid and dive into ink for a blazing-fast speed boost. Attack your own way with a multitude of control options thanks to the Wii U GamePad controller, including gyroscopic controls that let you look around, aim and more with precision.

Splatoon is an awesomely unique game. Its style, music, and gameplay are all refreshingly different, highly addictive, and tons of fun. For those who don't know, Splatoon is kind of an online shooter, but it's not about shooting other players. The goal is to claim as much ground as possible for you team, using everything from super soaker-esque guns to giant paint rollers or even just buckets. The pace of the game is very fast, but it's easy to get into. The controls, which use motion by default (you can change that if you want), are well-suited to the high speed action. They take a while to get used to, but when you get them, they're perfect.
One complaint a lot of people had was the lack of voice chat. While I would have preferred friend-only voice chat as an option, I prefer none to the constant harassment often found in other online games.
For anyone considering buying this for a family, it should be noted that it is primarily a one player per system game. While there is a small 2 player versus mode, that's as far as the local multiplayer goes.
You've searched castle after castle for the princess, slid through too-many-to-count number of pipes, ridden Yoshi on thrilling adventures and tossed fireballs, flown, stood still like a statue and swam underwater. You've completed every level, found every warp world, battled with Bowser every time. You know the iconic levels so well, you can complete them with your eyes closed. Well, not any more.Get ready for the most creative, exciting and challenging Super Mario game to date with Super Mario Maker. Design, create and play your own levels on your Wii U GamePad, and then explore those levels created by Nintendo and players from around the world. Use your GamePad's touch screen to add enemies, blocks, pipes and more. Combine enemies, traps and items into unexpected twists to break conventions and add unique challenges. Choose from four distinct themes, such as Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U, each with unique art styles and features. Drop in the Mystery Mushroom item to transform into different characters at random, and unlock additional characters by completing 100 Mario Challenge mode or tapping in compatible amiibo figures. Are you ready to speed through courses in record fashion, battle Piranha Plant-shooting cannons, boost your abilities with powerup-tossing Lakitus and take on the Hammer Bros. riding on Bowser while bouncing on trampolines? Better yet, do all that, and then show off your own ideas.

Right from the beginning, Mario Maker is incredibly easy to use to make fun levels. There are tutorials, but everything's very intuitive. I didn't even use the tutorials after the starting lesson (there's a new one with each batch of items, which unlock as you play). The ease of use, combined with the tried-and-true Mario formula, makes it hard to put down once you pick it up.
As for playing, the game plays like Mario, which is to say it plays extremely well. The included levels are fun, but the user-created levels are hit or miss. Sometimes you'll find an awesome level, which can lead you to more from the same creator, and sometimes you'll find a level that is clearly a first or second attempt. The sheer number of levels means there's plenty to play.
My one big complaint with the game is the Miiverse posts. On popular levels so many pop up that they can actually block your view of the level, making it hard to play. You can get around this by downloading the level to your own editor, but you should be able to simply turn the Miiverse posts off.
