Personal recommendations (a lot of these games have different titles outside of YURP, and I can't be arsed changing them for your benefit):
Kororinpa / [Sequel] Marbles! Balance Challenge:
ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL ANGERSKILLFEST. I have severe ADHD and I finished both of these games, so you have NO EXCUSE. The first game was a launch title which perfectly demonstrated how motion controls could benefit an ARCADE HARD game, but no-one cared. The sequed niced everything up and added a level editor, along with a totally unnecessary story. Still, no-one cared.
PangYa! Golf with Style / [Sequel] Super Swing Golf:
Probably the best fantasy golf game(s) you will see. If you don't like swing controls, then there's the old-skool timing method. Richochet your spheres against miniature volcanoes and palm trees to be the jammiest bastard in plaid that has ever strolled along a par 5. Whistly-good bossanova and soul music soundtracks a deceptively skilly balltwatting game. Also, some of the unlockable costumes are rather saucy.
A Shadow's Tale
Absolutely gorgeous platformer which requires your bwane. It takes place in the background, see, so you have to learn all about how shadows are created by the foreground furniture. You will encounter many interesting puzzles which involve activating elaborate machinery in order to ascend a tower and reunite a shadow with the body of its owner. You will eventually gain the ability to roam around the foreground, adding more dimensions to a game which already appears to have more than three.
Art Style: CUBELLO
Shooting + Block Matching + Chesslike Strategy are the three main ingredients of this action puzzler, with 36 levels of robotic blockyness. You have a large rotating carbuncle of cubes, and a "magazine" of coloured blocks to shoot at the thing. The usual block-matching rules apply, in that you can match 4-6 blocks of the same colour to get rid of them, with the aim of exposing the core of the rotating structure. If you feel confident, you can shoot through gaps in the structure, or set off chain reactions where the opportunity appears.
GTi Club: Supermini Festa!
This is pretty much the only Konami game I like, and it's SO GOOD. The racing physics are complete bullshit, which is exactly what you want from an arcade racer. There is a selection of around two dozen licenced supermini cars to race on 15 variations of 5 international tracks. Ignore any online reviews of this, because they only moan about how the PSN version is better for being in HD (despite having a drastically smaller selection of vehicles and only three variations on one track), and apparently having a bunch of hilarious multiplayer and online modes is a bad thing. Sure, the paintjobs and bodykits for your vehicles do nothing to affect their performance, but they look TRICK.
Endless Ocean / Endless Ocean 2
Just because these are not games, does not mean they are not worth your attention. Fish-poking is rather therapeutic, and I even did it online with TWRoO! We are now the proud parents of a bowmouth guitarfish (Rhina ancylostoma).
Free Running:
AH AM SEEW FRANCH EET 'URTS.
Once you get over the voice acting of your Le Parkour instructor, you will be flung into a really nice urban acrobatics game with a surprisingly catchy soundtrack. Mr. Scruff is on it!
