After a handful of years working solo, Link decided to try teaming up with other Links once again. He tried it adventuring with one other Link before, and he got over it. He adventured with three other Links, and he just couldn’t feel like the Beyoncé. Naturally, he had to team up with two other Links so that they could be the Kelly and Michelle, and he could finally be the Queen Bey he was always meant to be, thanks to The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes.

Using the engine of the incredible A Link Between Worlds, Nintendo brought the multiplayer aspect back to the Legend of Zelda games with Tri Force Heroes, and the result was an excellent co-operative experience augmented by the fact that you can dress up Link in various outfits for added abilities. As colorful as it was frantic, Tri Force Heroes served as another example of excellence through experimentation.

Yo-Kai Watch and Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon topped 2015 off, each receiving great praise. Yo-Kai Watch was commonly compared to regular Pokémon games, although its focus on exploration gave it all a more immersive single-player experience, showing a new perspective on the monster-capture genre. Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, unfortunately, felt a bit plagued by the problems with every previous entry in that it can feel too repetitive after a while. Regardless, though, many have agreed that the inclusion of every single Pokémon gives a gargantuan amount of customization and potential strategies to keep things exciting.
