Whoa, we’re seeing triple – three Links! The king
has sent a decree that a hero is required, but he’s
received three job applications. Perhaps they’ll all
come in handy though, for this is an emergency –
the princess has been cursed to wear a hideous
outfit that she can’t take off! There’s also some
sort of prophecy that foresaw the arrival of three
heroes. At any rate, it’s up to you and two other
Links – be they via local Wi-Fi, online, or ones that
you switch between in single player – to coordinate
enough to conquer the forces responsible for this
heinous crime against fashion... darlings.

Nintendo really seem to have a thing for tradies.
Obviously Mario is their superstar tradesman, but now
they’re offering all of us the chance to get into the
whole bricks and mortar decorating game. Forget those
boring old Sims and their boring old humanity, for here
you get to design homes for the animalistic stars of
Animal Crossing. It’s plushie heaven! Well, erm, except
that they’re pixelated rather than fluffy. As well as
attending to the whims of various villagers, a nifty little
NFC reader/writer allows the scanning of amiibo cards
to add more customers to your thriving business. Shh!
Don’t tell the ATO...

The name’s Drake, Nathan Drake. Think Indiana Jones,
changed enough to avoid being sued. Think all the greatest
adventurers rolled into one exploratory human package
who bears an uncanny resemblance to Nathan Fillion.
Think of not one, but three classic action-adventures – just
like Indy had (come on, that fourth one doesn’t count).
Yes, all three single player campaigns of the already
gorgeous PS3 classics have been given an incredible spit
and polish, coming to the PS4 looking more stunning than
ever. Not only do you nab three breathtaking games, you
also gain access to the forthcoming beta of Uncharted 4: A
Thief’s End. Now THAT is treasure.

In Japan, the Dragon Quest RPG series is bigger than
the fire-breathing beasties mentioned in the title. This
release – already the biggest-selling PS4 game in its
homeland – changes up the formula, mixing a healthy
glob of classic Dynasty Warriors into the mix. The result?
Amazing hack and slash action, taking on hordes of
rampaging monsters both small and astoundingly large,
from the incredibly cute slimes through to skeletons,
cyclops, golems and more. Of course everybody was
coexisting in peace, but a mysterious shockwave that
swept through the city of Arba has made the monsters
rage against mankind. It’s time to have a slash!
