Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - new, Christmas gift. Yeah, I asked for this game and got it a few days ago, which is very nice. I started playing today and it does seem good. It probably does play better than the Wii U/3DS one... though I should hook up GC controllers next time, the controls don't feel quite right on the Pro Controller I used today.
3DS DD (on sale)

Mom Hid My Game! - $3.50, on sale last week. This is a mobile port collection of a popular little adventure-ish puzzle game. It's amusing, but very easy, short, and simple -- each of the 50 levels has only one or two screens to it, so you have few options. Still, the animations and such are silly and some puzzles are clever.
Wii U DD (on sale) - these games also were on sale a few days ago. I'm not sure offhand if they still are.

Mr. Pumpkin Adventure - $1 - A simple adventure game from Circle.
Rock 'N Racing Off-Road DX - $3.50 - A bad super off-road style overhead racer. This game is bad, but just amusing enough that I don't regret finally getting it...
Octocopter: Super Squid Squad Escape - $2. This indie Kuru Kuru Kururin clone's really fun, just like the fantastic game it takes inspiration from. This game was a cool find and now also has a Switch port that's mostly the same game, but with a two player mode added. I might get that sometime too... I really liked KuruKuru Kururin.
Factotum - $6.69. This game is from the same publisher as Octocopter, and it's a Wii U-exclusive puzzle game where you play as a team of two robots you can switch between. Some controls are only on the Gamepad, and while it's not the best use of the gamepad it's nice to see a game that was trying to make use of it. The all-green graphics look nice enough too, and the puzzles seem decently good.
Aqua Moto Racing Utopia - $10. This game is probably overpriced for the janky mess that you get, but I really wanted to try at least one version of this Wave Race knockoff, and I got this one because it's one of the newer ones (this 2018 release actually came after the Switch version!) and I like the Wii U. Well, the game has issues and I wish it was cheaper, but there is some fun to be had.

Dr. Who: Evacuation Earth (E) - $7, complete. Yeah, I found this European-exclusive DS game locally for cheap, so I got it. It is a puzzle-adventure game, a good genre for the DS. I'm not a big Dr. Who fan, but still this is interesting to see. European DS cases are kind of weird, with how thick they are and that they use different (clear) plastic from the black US/JP cases...
