1. A Mario Endless Runner Actually Has Potential

A Mario endless runner is the first joke that came to mind when Nintendo announced their mobile intentions. But they've shown keen insight in NES Remix. Tiny barrages of breakneck platforming are always fun when designed carefully.

2. Nintendo Makes Amazing Puzzle Games

Outside of PopCap, no one makes amazingly addictive puzzle games quite like Nintendo. Why in the world would you play Candy Crush when you could have games similar to Dr. Mario, Tetris Attack or Picross at your fingertips?

3. Kirby's Touch Controls Are Already Perfect

It's easy to forget that Nintendo arrived at touch controls early with the DS. That's a decade of refinement. Kirby and The Rainbow Curse on Wii U reminded us how inventive Nintendo can be with touch screen design.

4. More Pokémon Is Inevitable

There's been some dabbling in mobile games with Camp Pokémon. Fingers crossed they're gearing up for a major release. With classic Final Fantasy games already successful on the app store, we know the potential for a full Pokémon RPG is huge.

5. Advance Wars Could Finally Return

Tactics and strategy RPGs are another genre that fit well into mobile's limitations. Everyone's been eager to see a new Advance Wars title after a 7 year absence. This is the perfect occasion for Nintendo to launch a new assault.

6. Nintendo Makes Great Brain Teasers

Brain Age titles have sold over 30 million copies world wide. While the science behind these games remains sketchy, there's no doubt Nintendo knows how to make these quick brain drills fast and fun. A refresh for the mobile age will kill.

7. Wario Ware Makes Great Use of New Hardware

Wario's been Nintendo's diplomatic emissary to test out new hardware. His mini-game collections are inspired bursts of creative design. With dual touch, multiple cameras, and gyroscopes, phones are ready made for Wario's wicked ways.

8. Raising A Nintendog Would Be Adorable

How many poor Nintendogs have languished in neglect from the inconvenience of lugging around a 3DS? Imagine just whipping out your phone to pet your puppy. Or, Nintendo could even branch out to turtles, parakeets, and pigs.

9. Nintendo Makes Excellent Pinball Games

Pinball games work well on phones and Nintendo has a collection of cool pinball titles like Metroid Prime and Kirby's Pinball Land. They usually involve an imaginative spin on a classic franchise, so more of these would be welcome.

10. Swipe to Swing in Mario Golf

Nintendo has a fine tradition of first class golf titles, and the addictive nature of the 3DS game's multiplayer has us excited at the potential for a mobile version. We can already picture driving down the green with grandpa's ghost.

11. Nintendo's Got Rhythm

The mobile platform presents its own distinct challenges. Nintendo's roster of rhythm music games like Rhythm Heaven and Elite Beat Agents make for a great fit with their polished, simple designs and vibrant art.

12. Punch-Out!! in Your Palms

Epic's mobile hit Infinity Blade proves that the Punch-Out template works perfectly on phones. Their success has been undeniable, so it wouldn't be a risky prospect for Nintendo to step into the ring with their famous franchise.

13. Nintendo Knows How to Use Tilt in Creative Ways

Nintendo's been using gyros ever since R.O.B. the Robot back in 1985. Since then, it's consistently implemented gyroscopes and their tilt functions in interesting ways, and you can be sure they'll bring that design expertise to mobile too.

14. An Animal Crossing App Has Potential

Animal Crossing New Leaf had a street pass feature that let you visit the towns of people you encountered in real life. What if you could trade turnips and furniture with everyone in the vicinity of your phone, or all your Facebook friends?

15. Nintendo Invented the Mobile Gaming Market

The original Game Boy became a worldwide phenomenon, due in large part to Nintendo's approach to crafting experiences tailored to the needs of gaming on the go. They know this territory better than anyone and should easily excel on phones as well.

GR-UK writes: "Zombie Army Trilogy is an arcade-style offering about shooting zombies in the head. It's built around co-op play and will likely underwhelm a solo player. That said, it's still not a great game even if you're playing in a group; it's more about the people you're playing with, not the quality of the overall experience. You'll still have fun with it, and it's far from a write-off, and if all you want to do is kill a few zombies with your friends, there's enough here to warrant a look. Just don't expect to be blown away by the graphics or the story, and don't expect a Sniper Elite game with zombies, because this isn't that."

When Elite: Dangerous launched on December 16, Frontier offered a £1,000 cash bounty to the first players to make Elite in Trading, Exploration and Combat, and a £10,000 prize for the first player to make it to Triple Elite. This Race To Elite has finally come to an end.

Andy from Plus XP writes: "If you have a successful franchise that revolves around one man and his sniper rifles, then what is the next logical step for additional content? Yep, if you said zombies then you are correct. However, Im guessing its one of the last things that most of you would have said. Nevertheless, Nazi Army Trilogy celebrates its zombie-themed downloadable content (DLC) by re-imagining it in 1080p whilst running it at 60 frames-per-second. The game features the two DLC packs from Sniper Elite V2 and a completely new one created to serve as the conclusion. In total, you get fifteen missions to do across three episodes as you try to overthrow Adolf Hitlers Nazi Army menace in World War Two. Also throw in a routine horde mode and youve got yourself a tasty looking package here, but does it taste as good as it looks? Lets find out."

GamesAsylum: "As Rebellions own Sniper Elite series proved, its entirely possible to centre a whole game on one faultlessly executed idea. That idea was, of course, the gratuitous slow-mo sniper shots. This current-gen only series spin-off retains the grizzly sniper kills but the focus now lies on co-operatively mowing down zombie hordes. Every kill is as satisfying as the last, something Rebellion has clearly spent a long time refining to perfection. Craniums explode, limbs sever and despite hitting the dirt after just one or two shots, every member of Hitlers undead army still poses a sizeable threat"

NZGamer: Have you heard of Godwins law? Its the idea that, the longer a discussion goes on, the more likely it will involve Hitler or Nazis. While its true that games hit peak-Nazi saturation very early on (1982s Castle Wolfenstein on the Commodore 64 can attest to that), theyve fallen off in exposure recently. But maybe games need their own, more relevant adage that the longer a company creates games, the more likely they will be to shove zombies into them. Thats where Rebellions Zombie Army Trilogy comes in. Set in the Sniper Elite universe, its essentially a collection of DLC from their previous outings with very little new content to speak of.

Chart track: It's an 8th week at No1 since launch and the first since week 4 this year. The latest GTA still needs another 2 weeks at the top to equal the record for GTA series No1s (held by GTA: Vice City for PS2, 10 weeks at No1, launched in week 45/2002, achieved in the first 11 weeks on sale). Warners Dying Light (-43%) only drops to No2, EAs FIFA 15 is stable at No3 (+1%) and Microsoft climb 2 places to No4 with Minecraft: Xbox Edition (-1%). After all the new IP we now have the release of some remastered HD editions / complete collections, with Capcoms DMC: Definitive Edition debuting at No5 for PS4/Xbox One and 505 Games Sniper Elite 3: Ultimate Edition new at No10 for PS3/PS4/360/Xbox One. The new Sniper Elite 3: Ultimate Edition release is itself right behind the 2 week old Zombie Army Trilogy (No9) which is a stand -alone expansion of the award-winning Sniper Elite series both games developed by Rebellion in the UK.
