15 Best Nintendo Games of 2015

9. Runbow

Enter Runbow, the debut title from Toronto-based developer 13AM Games. Runbow is a fast-paced action party game with a novel gameplay mechanic that can be enjoyed solo or with up-to nine friends who race against each other as platforms and obstacles appear and disappear when the background changes colors. For a small indie game, this platformer is jam-packed with content both competitive and cooperative — a fabulous soundtrack, striking visuals — and plenty of unlockable characters, which include the titular character from Shovel Knight, Rusty from SteamWorld Dig, and Max from Mutant Mudds. Runbow is simply put, the best local multiplayer experience on Wii U this side of Smash Bros., but it’s also a difficult platformer that will keep you busy for hours on end. (Ricky D)
