REVIEW Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe is another excellent Nintendo remaster — "this remaster offers enough content to keep both newcomers and veterans busy for a while. As a Kirby game it's fairly typical and doesn't do anything particularly revolutionary, but what it does offer is strong, entertaining platforming". Polygon's review calls it a "faithful update" that "also plays things safe".

▶ A Legacy in 3D: The Story of Star Fox — This is a superb, near hour-long documentary about the Star Fox series as it marks its 30th anniversary.

Microsoft make it official, sign ten-year Call of Duty deal with Nintendo — What was once a mere pledge is now a defined, binding legal agreement for full featured Call of Duty games on Nintendo platforms, with content parity. Microsoft's Brad Smith later noted that the games will run "exactly the way people would expect" on each platform – take from that what you will.

REVIEW Clive 'N' Wrench — "This game is just the biggest swing and it’s a shame that it is mostly a miss". Nintendo Life also didn't love it, stating it "stands out for all the wrong reasons" and scoring it a 3 out of 10.
