10 Best Nintendo Video Games Of 2016
8. Super Mario Maker - 3DS
Super Mario Maker is the type of game fans have long dreamed of, granting players the ability to create their very own Super Mario levels. When Super Mario Maker released in 2015 for the Wii U, it allowed players to do all that and much more besides, featuring various treats like the ability to stack enemies, feed enemies power-ups and make Mario wear a Koopa shell on his head... and that's just the beginning.
The ability to play Super Mario Maker on the go, then, is a very welcome opportunity. In general, the game is as fun and satisfying as its Wii U counterpart, the creation process rendered seamless by the system's lower screen.
Sadly, a few niggling flaws stop Super Mario Maker 3DS from reaching the upper heights of this list. The removal of the "Mystery Mushrooms" - mushrooms that transform Mario into innumerable video game characters like Link, Donkey Kong, Sonic, Pac-Man and even Mewtwo - is an enormous blow.
That, and the gimped online functionality means you can't upload your own creations online, although you can play those designed on the Wii U.
