The 3DS eShop is starting to fill in a little bit, and it’s games like Mighty Switch Force that may help draw people into the store. The game’s striking style is eye-catching and the gameplay is simple and inviting. It’s a shame that it’s so short, though people who enjoy streamlining their performance for better times will find a lot to love here.
The simple story involves Patricia Wagon, an intergalactic police officer (shorten the first name, get the pun), whose job is to track down and capture the infamous Space Hooligans. Your adventure takes place in Planet Land, through 16 unique scenarios of increasing complexity and depth. The sexy and sassy convicts have scattered throughout the land — on high ledges or inside boxes — and it’s up to you to cuff and collect them.

We’ve taken a look at what indie characters we think would be exciting to see in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

GameCrate: "By now, everyone knows how bad Mighty No. 9 is. Whether you've actually played the game or not, you know. And though it's human nature to dwell unnecessarily on every negative thing that happens, I think it's time we moved on from this recent fiasco. Luckily, there's really no shortage of great games out there, so I've put together a list of rad indie action titles to play instead of Mighty No. 9."

Bored of the blue shell in Mario Kart? Finally tired of grinding for gear in Monster Hunter? Maybe it’s time to look at some under appreciated games on the 3DS and drag yourself up from apathy.
