Kid Icarus Uprising surprised me. I went in with 0 expectations and I was blown away by the writing. This game doesn't just send a shit ton of enemies your way, it also sends you one joke and funny bit after the other. The characters get so much dialogue, because the whole story takes place during gameplay, I love that! And it's fully voiced!!! When does that ever happen in a Nintendo game?

The gameplay is also a ton of fun. Kid Icarus Uprising never gets old, as it's not afraid to constantly push forward, always exploring new ideas. The fact that they got this game working on the 3DS is just insane.

I also love the weapon variety, allowing you to choose your favourite style of playing with so many options. And the length is also great! It's long enough to be satisfying, but also short enough to not overstay it's welcome and leaving me longing for more after seeing the credits.
