Star Fox 64 3D
Fox McCloud has had a long and bumpy flight over the past few years, punctuated by long stretches of empty nothing. While I have my own ideas on how Nintendo should take the franchise forward, at least we're getting back to the very best foundations with Star Fox 64 3D.
The whole game has seen a graphical facelift but the intriguing bits are in how Nintendo has used the 3DS hardware to update the gameplay. If you want to try something new you can control the game with the 3DS's motion controls, moving the portable to steer your ship. Not only that, but in the expanded multiplayer you and your friends can project a video feed of your faces into the communication boxes. Cue millions of nerds practicing their "do a barrel roll!" and "hey Einstein, I'm on your side!"
