This game is a platformer that supports 4 players, starring a limbless hero named Rayman! Along for the ride are his friends, Globox and the Teensies! It is the 4th game in the series, and after two 3D platformers, Origins returns to its 2D roots, hence the title. Unlike the previous games, Rayman Origins focuses on tough-as-nails precision platforming. It's a great challenge, even for new players, as it starts you off not far from where you die, eliminating most frustration.
Professor Layton (series)
This game involves a series of puzzles and riddles strung together by an engaging story about an archaeologist, Professor Layton, and his apprentice, Luke Triton. Layton and Luke get caught up in various mysteries and adventures, and for some reason constantly run into puzzles. Puzzles can range from arranging matchsticks into a certain shape, to shifting objects into a pattern in a limited number of turns. In fact, the vast majority of the puzzles in the game aren't related to the plot at all, which is commonly joked about by fans. Any insignificant or unrelated thing may prompt a "This reminds me of a puzzle I once heard!" from the Professor.
Star Fox 64
Star Fox 64 is regarded as one of the best shoot-'em-ups of all time. You play as Fox McCloud, leader of team Star Fox, which is comprised of his teammates Falco Lombardi, Slippy Toad, and Peppy Hare. The goal is to make it to the end of the stage, killing as many enemies as you can along the way to increase your score, and protecting your teammates if they get in danger. At the end of each stage, the player encounters a boss, and sometimes your ship will go into "all-range mode" which let's you fly around freely in an open area. The game is also known for having very campy dialogue that is loved by fans. In fact, in the 3DS remake, Nintendo got most of the original voice actors to reprise their roles and re-record their dialogue in the same campy fashion.
