What's pink, has a bow, and blows? Ms. 'Splosion Man!
A follow-up to the 2009 'Splosion Man, Ms. 'Splosion Man is a simple 2D platformer with high speed and puzzle elements. The titular missus can explode up to three times before landing on the ground, resting against a wall, or detonating with a bomb to recharge, propelling herself through the game's frantic point-A-to-point-B-style levels. Like its predecessor, the game is full of jokes and quirkiness. Is Ms. 'Splosion Man the bomb or just a dud?
The PlayBits are done, but the replays are now available in the article, just click through!

Witness the original arcade Donkey Kong get beaten into the dirt.
Please note that this review will not cover 3DS Virtual Console or Super Game Boy features.
I have a confession to make: I hate the original arcade Donkey Kong. Yes, sneer at me all you want, but I have good reasons for disliking it so much. While I have been very spoiled by Mario platforming adventures, his first battle with Donkey Kong is not something I eagerly replay. Note that this is coming from someone who enjoys games like Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig Dug (notice a pattern here?); I will admit that the original DK arcade game has some sound elements that would set a benchmark for Mario’s debut, but with those awful jumping mechanics Donkey Kong isn’t a game I rate highly.
