After an unfortunate encounter with some pesky magpies Milo finds himself lost and in need of a guiding hand to help him find his way home. A rather short game but hits the sweet spot for a nice little play before bed.

Super Mario 3D World returns for a second go-around after first launching on the Wii U. I played this in co-op with my player 2. I particularly enjoyed playing as cat Mario and taking hundreds of pictures in Snapshot Mode! You can pause to get the perfect picture to capture those epic fails! I was always the one failing all the levels, but it was fun.
