    Well, since I haven't done one in awhile, I'm going to do another top 5 countdown! This time with games on Nintendo eShop. I'm including games from both Wii U and 3DS, as I haven't played too many eShop games. So yes, some of the best may not make it on my list. (I still haven't gotten around to buying Shovel Knight yet for one) I've only played 8 eShop games total. Also, no Virtual Console or 3D Classics games will be included. I'm going to take a page from Gameguy and Nessness and just do once a day so you can guess:

    5. Little Inferno [Wii U]

    While Little Inferno isn't at all deep in it's gameplay mechanics, it definitely has it's charm in the way it's story unfolds. You'll be buying and burning things, as well as getting letters. The ending is also something interesting. I also found it both hilarious and kind of creepy at the same time. It's one interesting experience, and while not necessarily fun to play, it's an enjoyable experience.

    Nope.

    4. Mighty Switch Force! [3DS/Wii U]

    Zero's Top 5 Nintendo eShop Games Mighty-Switch-Force-Logo

    Surprisingly enough, despite this being one of my favorite eShop games, I still forgot it existed when thinking about this list at first. While it's fairly short, it's platforming controls are tight, and the switching mechanic works well. You can switch platforms from the foreground to the background and vice versa by pressing a button, and some will switch automatically as well. It's a simple mechanic, but certainly has a lot to it, and makes for a really fun game.

    It does seem like a fun game for what I have seen in videos. I guess #3 might be
    Dillon's Rolling Western.

    I considered Dillon's Rolling Western, but honestly, it wasn't as good as my actual third choice:

    3. Fluidity: Spin Cycle [3DS]

    Zero's Top 5 Nintendo eShop Games 2412252-spincyclelogo

    Fluidity: Spin Cycle is the sequel to the original game on WiiWare. While I was never able to play the original, Spin Cycle is very unique in that you control the movement of water itself. It's an interesting concept, and it works really well. I also think the puzzles are fun to solve, although some are harder than others.

    Well, there's still another one to get through before we get to #1.

    2. Pushmo

    Zero's Top 5 Nintendo eShop Games 2115984-13240252301

    Pushmo (otherwise known as Pullblox in Europe) is a very innovative puzzle game in which you can push or pull blocks in order to reach the goal. You can only pull these blocks up to 3 levels outwards, making it difficult to figure out which blocks to pull out, which to push in, and which to leave as is. It's a simple concept, but can get very challenging. I'm not the biggest fan of puzzle games, but this one is definitely one of, if not, the best I've ever played.

    1. Shantae and the Pirate's Curse

    Zero's Top 5 Nintendo eShop Games Shantae_3_cover

    Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is my absolute favorite eShop game. It's world is fun to explore, the characters are fantastic, the dungeons are really well-designed, the pirate gear is fun to use, the story is at least somewhat interesting, and the music is great. I can't really say anything bad about the game, other than the final dungeon being kind of short.
