Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer for the 3DS

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer was released on Sept. 25th, 2015 by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS.

FUN: In this version of Animal Crossing, all you do is Design Houses, Lot, Buildings, and add as many pieces of Furniture you want without worrying about Bells to buy the items you are using. However, that's all you do. No Bug, Fish, Fossil, or Painting Collecting. Just Designing. FUN - 1.5.

REPLAY: This is one of those Neverending type games. It doesn't have an end. You just keep making designs until you drop. REPLAY - 1.

STORY: You are the new employee at Tom Nook's Homes. And apparently, the only pro when it comes to designing. Everyday, you do a designing job, write a report (aka Saving), and go to the next day while a run-on gag of Tom Nook's meetings and business is just playing Golf. STORY - 1.

DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL: Not much Original content for this game. It's like any other Animal Crossing Game except that they only have you do one thing, design rooms and lots. Besides that Difference, you don't have to worry about Bells and you can design and add things to your heart contents. DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL - 1.

DIFFICULTY: This is an Animal Crossing Game... there is no Difficulty in this series. DIFFICULTY - 2.

TOTAL - 6.5.

There you have it. Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. Until next review, I have been Nostalgic Gamer 89. Hope you continue to read my reviews!

Super Mario Maker for the Wii U

Super Mario Maker is a Create & Share your own levels game for the Nintendo Wii U. Released on Sept. 11th, 2015 for North America by Nintendo.

FUN: Super Mario Maker (or SMM for short for the rest of the review) is what I call Neverending. All you do in this game is Create new Levels, Upload your Levels, and play Mario Challenges that uses other gamers Levels. There are 2 Mario Challenge Modes; 10 Mario Challenge & 100 Mario Challenge both with an Easy and Hard Mode. Besides that, there is not much else. FUN - 1.

REPLAY: As I said before, this game is Neverending. There are unlimited number of Stages to play from other Players. There is an ID Number featured on every uploaded Level for easy share. And it's always different each time you play the Mario Challenges. As for the Creating Part, that only ends when your imagination ends. REPLAY - 2.

STORY: There's is no story. None at all. STORY - 0.

DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL: This whole game is Original when is comes to Create-A-Level stand point. Unless you are a Hacker and made Bootleg Mario Games, this is the 1st Mario game where you Create the 8 World Levels. DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL - 2.

DIFFICULTY: This one is hard to pin-point... Every Level is different due to actual Players like yourself Creating them. Some are hard, some are balanced, and some are easy. I guess it can be said that this game is balanced due to the ability to skip hard levels in the Mario Challenges. The main difficulty is to actually get people to give a star to your levels. The More Stars you get, the more Medals you Profile has. The More Medals you have, the More Levels you can Upload. Only Problem is that you need real players to play, beat, and star your levels in order to get medals. DIFFICULTY - 1.5.

Total - 6.5.

There you have it. Super Mario Maker for the Nintendo Wii U. Until Next Time, This has been Nostalgic Gamer 89. Keep On Gaming!
