First handheld game to score that highly since Metroid Fusion in the January 2003 edition over ten years ago! And other than Bioshock Infinite, the only perfect 10 they've given this year. GI gives anywhere from 0 to 3 perfect scores a year, with the last year with multiple perfect scores being 2011.

Previously, the top 3DS game according to Game Informer was SM3DL, with a 9.5, and four other games got scores of 9 or more: Ocarina of Time 3D, Street Fighter 4, RE: Revelations, and Fire Emblem: Awakening.

I swear, if THIS ends up being the game that reinvigorates Zelda... I'd be pleased as punch to get it!
