It’s all over, folks. With December’s scant few releases, we’ve reached the end of one of the most bountiful years in gaming history. By now, your Black Friday bruises should be healing nicely and what better way to mend the scars and wounds suffered while trying to buy $2 flash drives than picking up a few new games before the New Year? While this month is light, one of the games has been in development for nearly a decade, and Nintendo fans have two big releases to look forward too, although of course neither are coming to the Wii U. Check out the top five games releasing this month!

Super Mario Maker

This isn’t your father’s Super Mario Maker, as the slimmed-down 3DS version is built for speed and mobility. The game packs in 100 levels out of the gate, and of course includes the ability to download courses from the internet. You can build awesome new levels as well, but if sharing those levels with a larger community is how you got your jollies on the Wii U version, then maybe hold off. While the 3DS has a functional internet browser, levels can only be shared locally with your friends. So you better hope that your friends want to play your levels and are good at making them as well!
